It is almost impossible to aptly describe the vast, stunning vistas of the Kruger Park.  The Park is home to a wonderful array of birds, animals and plant life and as it is the summer the vegetation is lush and green. Kruger National Park It runs for 352 kilometres along the border of Mozambique and roughly equates to the size of Wales in terms of overall size.  To be a part of this extraordinary existence, even for a few days, is a truly magical and unforgettable experience. Our senses are constantly filled with wonderful aromas, spectacular scenery and sounds that are a far cry from the calling of the wildlife at Tilley Farm.  We have been getting up at 500am each day to leave our camp to watch the animals heading for the glittering waters of the rivers and water holes and have been listening to the animals at night over the other side of the river that runs alongside our lodge. We have seen lions, elephants, hippos, white rhinos, kudu, impala, bush bucks, wildebeest, water buffalo, giraffe, zebra, a lone hyena, fish eagles, ground horn bills, water buck, ostrich, wart hogs and more. What can I say?  Not a lot.  I’ll let each picture speak a thousand words.  Enjoy.
