Walking in Kruger

On July 6, Barry and I took both a morning and an evening guided walk in Kruger National Park, with our rangers Matthew and Bishop. On the walks, we had to go single file behind the rangers, and keep quiet so the rangers could listen for rustling leaves, breaking branches, grunting or growling animals, etc. Here's a little taste of what it's like:


One of the highlights of our morning walk was when we came across two rhinos, including a young one. We got to watch them for a while and take pictures before they wandered off and we moved on. I couldn't get very good video, but here it is. Remember - there is nothing but a few shrubs between the rhinos and us!
