Molly and I finished of our African adventure with an african adventure. We spent Sunday-Wednesday morning at the Africa On Foot Camp in Krugar National Park. At 5:30 in the morning we got our wake up call to grab some coffee and granola bars before heading out for a bush walk at 6:30. We spent about 2-3 hrs walking each morning. The walks focused on seeing the smaller highlights such as insects, spiders, birds, vegetation, tracks, and small animals like impala and mongoose. Then we returned to camp for a hearty breakfast. The rest of the afternoon was free time. Around 2:30 we reconvened for lunch before embarking on a game drive at 3:30. Our group of about 6 guests boarded the open air land rover and set off in search of large game. We would break for drinks half way to watch the sunset. Then the night drive began as we explored the pitch black night with a spot light in search of lions, leopards, rhino, and more. It was a fabulous experience to finish off our three month excursion abroad! Below are some highlights:
