Kruger National Park

That's all we could say after spending six days in South Africa's Kruger National Park. In all of our years cruising we have never had an adventure ashore that matched this. We went into the animals' environment, where they are the masters, and we watched them live as they would in the wild. It is their world, not ours, we felt that, and we had to stay in the car. That was OK because the animals were everywhere to be found and the roads got us right into their midst.

And we did see Lions. Click here or scroll down.

So, yes, we had a great time.

We're glad we came to Africa.
