I hope you have space for one more Heksie :wink:

This is just such a fabulous start to your trip report! That little zebra is too adorable, and you saw so many different animals along that road :thumbs_up:

And now I see mr kitty also showed himself :dance:

I could not have been my visa, because I have been absent for a while :tongue:

Cannot wait for episodes to follow :popcorn:

Beautiful sightings on your first drive Heksie and mom!

Great shot of that Impie! Just look at that beautiful big eyes! And the elegant Giraffes, followed by the Zebra mom with the cute little baby! :clap:

What a nice gentle (for a change) Ellie!

I just love that cute Steenbokkie! :dance:

Magnificent Lion sighting too! :clap:

Lekker, lekker! :thumbs_up:

Like the way this trippie is starting - with lions and all. Just need to get some of those inconsiderate guys out of this story soon - leaving dust where leopards lie... Unacceptable! :rtm:

The bush is looking lovely and GREEN!

WoW You had indeed a more than lovely start :thumbs_up:

Thanks Pumbaa-I always have bad luck with those golden ones, but I think my MK VISA that I brought with me did me well :thumbs_up:

You are then not gonna be happy with me :twisted:

With this next sighting I slammed brakes and stayed a bit longer than was allowed. Maybe we should look in our wizardry books for a protective shield for you trailer passengers :hmz:

Oh and thanks for joining in on this wet Kruger trip :thumbs_up:

Sorry was a bit hectic the past few days with work so didn't have time to catch up on my own TR cause all the other mites have amazing TR's that I had to read first :thumbs_up:

Jump in that trailer I am working on a spell to keep you safe :whistle:

My yearly mum and daughter trips are actually amazing, we started last year. Booked our first trip ever in Kruger. As we have a family home 2km from Kruger Gate we never needed to book inside but the Kruger bug bit me and I had to try it and eish.... i never looked back

We are so chill together and get out much needed rest from the city life. Just bliss :thumbs_up:

Thanks you for dropping in on my TR :gflower:
