Kruger National Park

Kruger National Park is one of the largest game reserves in Africa. It is named after Paul Kruger, a political and military figure of 19th century South Africa. There are mixed opinions about Kruger.  Black Africans certainly don't like him. However, there is a monument to him at the Kruger gate, and this is where we entered the park.  [click for map of Kruger National Park]

Our van: I was always in the back.

Our accommodations were quite nice. We each had our own hut. Food at the game park was really good. I recall having to find our accommodations in the dark. I didn't have a flashlight. There weren't any lights. There were several "avenues" of lodges.
