It is always great to hear back from our guests and even more so when they are as happy as these guys!

Hi,
Apologies for not having written you before, but I’ve been terribly busy with my friends. They flew back to Spain last night. We enjoyed our trip to Kruger so much!! Michael, our Outlook Safaris guide from Jo’burg to Kruger (and back) was an excellent person. At the park, we did our game driving tours with Toby. He was also so nice, and so knowledgeable!!
We saw lots of animals and enjoyed our trip very very much. particularly the kids! They were thrilled.
Thank you very much for organizing our tour.
Cheers,
Fernando

Kruger sightings: 27 & 28 August 2011

With spring creeping up on us, the sightings in the Kruger Park is as good as ever!

Hielke says:

“This morning (Sat) started out really good, as we drove into the Park we saw a herd of buffalo and in the herd we saw a honey badger walking around! That was a nice surprise as one so seldom sees them!. Then followed herds of giraffe, elephants and a martial eagle. We also saw some rhinos and the kill of a leopard but unfortunately no leopard, this afternoon we were spoiled with a nice sighting of the endangered Ground Hornbill!

Great times in the Kruger National Park!

Hielke and his guests are having a fabulous time, with great weather & brilliant sightings!

He says:

Sunday was a good day for game viewing! We saw big herds of elephants and kudu. The highlight of the day was when we found a big herd of bufalo crossing the road and suddenly started stampeding. That’s when we noticed the 6 lions chasing them. It was spectacular to watch the lions working together and jumping on a bufalo. They moved off further into the bush so we could not see the end result!

Kylie’s safari is continuing to be good! She says:

“Even though there was a very chilly breeze, the sun came out this morning and like I had hoped, the animals followed! Starting out a little slow we saw some impala, fresh lion tracks but unfortunately couldn’t find them, a herd of 10 giraffe and a big breeding herd of buffalo.

Good morning!

With the cold weather reaching even the Kruger Park this time, Kylie’s safari was off to a slow start. As soon as it warmed up though, they saw lots! She says:

“We saw a coqui francolin, red crested korhaan, then a hyena that jumped up onto the back of the vehicle with her front legs and grabbed a dangling jacket! That caused quite a bit of excitement! After that they saw an elephant bull, 2 big kudu bulls, some baboons, vervet monkeys, an orange breasted bushshrike, a grey headed bushshrike, and some hippo out of the water.
