I just made my pre-holiday donation to KNP and Honorary rangers. I have made a habit out of this hoping that it would give us good Kruger Karma, and so far it has worked.
Hoping to have sightings like these again this year.

Normana, I am sure that it will give you good karma. I am a great believer in giving. It feeds the heart and soul... and the HR's won't be unhappy either, not to mention the Rhinos. :wink:

Barryels, kallis1786, Hilda, Pumbaa, Timbits, Philip1 & Crested Val - thanks for the encouraging words and for joining in this merry adventure.
MM I too have found giving to be a great way to support the things we believe in, while making ourselves feel better about ourselves. I actually started making a contribution after Duke and Sharifa's challenge a couple of years ago. I enjoy helping out, and hope that the Kruger Karmic gods are riding with me each time I return. I would recommend it to everyone!

We also stop for the little things and have a passion for birding, so we are pulled to the side of the road quite often.

Super

to build up your kama. :clap:

Your passion for birds will be fulfilled going to the north, especially this time of the year at Pafuri and surrounds:mrgreen:

It's not just the Big 5, which makes up KNP, it is about all it has to offer :thumbs_up:
