In the Kruger Park we only go to the same hotel for 1 night. We partly drive the same road so that we can return to the watering hole where the birds and lionesses could be seen. The birds were back, but the lionesses were not. After that, the part of Kruger is quite dry, so a nice area to spot a secretary bird. Our guide/driver Natascha succeeded.
