  Part of our family Rondreis (with Sawadee) by Z-Africa, was a multi-day visit to the Kruger National Park. KNP is a wonderful park with beautiful nature and lots of wildlife and birds to spot. During three full days game drives seen a lot: the full Big Five (lion, buffalo, elephant, leopard and rhinoceros), giraffes, zebras, Impala, Nyalas, Springbokken, Sabelantilloop (little spotted), divers, Honey Badger (special because is a Night Animal/-Hunter), a pack of hyena dogs with pups (there are only 3,500 hyena dogs worldwide) Various types of vultures, battalieurs, Secretary Bird, Mongoose, in short, too many to mention. A special experience!
