“We had a fantastic day. Edward collected us at 5.15am and we were in the Kruger Park when they opened at 6.00 am. We saw a buffalo within minutes and then Elephants and a Rhino within 30 minutes (3 of the big 5). Cats proved harder to find but we saw a lioness crossing the road by and then a group of lionesses with cubs by midday. Then in the afternoon we saw 4 young lions eating a buffalo kill, lots of Elephants crossing the road in front of us and much more. No leopard today, but who cares? I would recommend this tour to anyone!”
