Hi all

Thought I'd start something to get us all thinking...

What would you like, above all others, to see on your next trip to Kruger...

I am in the park roughly twice a week, in all my years of coming here I have not seen one yet. Hopefully I will before the last one is permanently removed for modern Eastern medicinal purposes. :doh:

I want to see that which does not exist. That were is talked about around the fire under the big boabab. That, which has been elusively described by myths. That, of which one only sees 'the hole'. That, which is on top of my list...

THE AARDVARK!
