Hello from us at the beautiful Kruger National Park!!!
Well, we didn’t have much sleep last night but we were up very early this morning for our whole day safari! We left the lodge at 5:30am and headed out to see some animals! We were so excited when we found out it was only going to be us on the drive, so we had a fantastic private safari with a great guide! She told us we could do whatever we wanted to, since it was just us!

We started off seeing elephants, giraffe, kudu and gnu! Shortly after our drive started, we got word that there was a cheetah just up the road, so of course we went to go find it! We got there just after a kill and we got to see it eating! After watching for a little bit, we decided to head out and go find some more animals! It was about 9am and we saw a few lion in the distance, so we parked and watched them! They were laying down under some bush and would occasionally get up and move to another spot. All the other vehicles got bored sitting and waiting for them to move but we decided to stay and watch them since we knew they were there! We sat in the same spot for about 3 hours, but let me tell you… it was so worth it! We were sitting there and we decided we were going to have a snack while we waited for them to move! Just as I was taking a bite of my sandwich I saw one of the female lions get up, and I nearly choked! ;)

At first, she was just watching around by the bush that she was laying under, but then she started making her way toward the road! She walked almost all the way to our vehicle! She even posed for a few photos! She then went to lay under one of the trees right by the road! It was probably one of the most exciting moments ever! Since we knew she was close by, we waited just a little bit longer to see if she would come out again, but she was fast asleep and we decided to keep going on our drive!

We drove around for a while seeing a bunch of different animals! We stopped for a little bit for a bathroom break and for a snack, then headed back out for a few hours! After our awesome drive we made our way back to the lodge, where we had an AMAZING private dinner for two on our balcony! We had salad, chicken, rice, carrots and baby marrow! After dinner- we tried to post our blog from the previous day but our internet just wasn’t fast enough.

So now, we are off to sleep… we are both exhausted since we have been going to bed so late and having to wake up so early! But tomorrow- we don’t have to wake so early :)
Good night!!
