Day 18: The last day in Kruger National Park

Home Biota: what is it? Animals Plants Mammals Birds Insects NL EN

We've been in and around Kruger a lot, and we're now heading for a south exit. Of course we will make it a safari drive, looking for large animals and birds. Some of the photos have already been taken at breakfast, where the birds are feasting on the fruits of a large tree next to the terrace.

Along the way we see elephants enjoying a mud bath. The hippopotamus also appears to have bathed, but we did not see that. We spend the night in Malelane, Mhlati Guest Cottages.
