Left Cape Town in the early morning we reached the Kruger park after a couple of hours flight and four hours drive with our fantastic guide Ivan od Africa Spears. We really didn’t know what to expect from the 4 days Safari. All the decisions were take in a very short time and we had no way to document ourselves on what we had to expect. For this reason all was a surprise and, I have to say, a great surprise. Ivan was really great. He had the ability to anticipate what the animals were going to do and position us in the best way to look at it. For this reason we saw tens of elephants crossing the road jus in front of us, black rhinos a few meters from the car, hunting lions in actions and the elegant leopard walking side by side us.
Looking at the animals is always spectacular. They are so elegant (each one for different reasons) and exciting. Hours of drives all around the park just flew like minutes and at the end we left with the strong sensation that we will have to come back.
I think it’s a feeling you bring home with you that permanently resides in your mind and heart. It’s not only the animal itself, it the scenaries, the sun, the colors, the smelling. It’s something that you cannot forget and that calls you back periodically.
