These two youngsters were just lion on the road while the other three wandered around and Mom looked on at Kruger National Park South Africa.
I’ve been to Tsitsikamma National Park four times now and will never tire of this magical place with forest to the edge of the sea.
From sunrise to sunset, watching the sea mesmerizes me. I’ve taken hundreds of photos of the waves crashing on the rocks.
Such a marvelous view to enjoy coffee and rusks for breakfast.
Now even Ranger Wanda Lust has been here and agrees this is a very special place.
Rock hopping and tide pool explorations fill the afternoon. I really need to learn more about the geology along this coastline.
Our camp couldn’t be more perfect.
I’m trying to catch up on the many adventures I’ve had so far in South Africa but having my computer stolen and loosing so many photos has slowed me down a bit so I’ll be jumping past the return to Kruger and try to be more timely. For more posts on the days at Kruger check out my travel companion and guide Joan’s posts.

The largest Kingfisher in South Africa measures 16-18 inches (42-48 cm) long. The male has a chestnut breast band and white underparts while the female has a white-spotted black breast band and chestnut belly. I’d say this was a female. Giant Kingfishers feed on crabs, fish and frogs by diving from a perch like this bridge rail over the Sabie River in Kruger National Park.
