So Day 1 - Trip to Kruger.  The drive was a long one from Joburg to Kruger.  The country side was beautiful.  At first it looked like Ontario and after the jet leg I thought I was dreaming.....  Rolling hills of farm land, cattle same type of trees..... then the land scape changed.  It became very mountainous and the trees and shrubs changed.  It was spectacular!

After 9 hours in the van we finally made it to the reserve where we took our evening Safari.  Where to start..... We had an open air truck with no seat belts or doors and the terrain was wild!  I had to hold on tight just to stay in,  not to mention dodging branches!  We saw Giraffe, Hipo, Impala, Jackal, Elephants and Wildebeest.  After we had dinner at the reserve and headed out to our home away from home at Marc's Tree House! I'll leave the details on that for day 2!!!
