Well back into south africa now after driving all the way through swaziland. Camped out in swaziland on sat night and then went white what rafting on the utusi river. Left after that and went on a beautiful drive through the mountains of northern swaziland (which btw has the highest percentage of hiv positive people of any country in the world at 39%). Then spent the night near kruger national park last night. We got into the area too late to enter the park but found a cool hotel to stay at that bordered the park. Had a huge dinner last night at a place called crocadillas which also borders the park and is surrounded by an alligator moat. We ate a ton of of food and had a ton of drinks and it's only $20 a person which is a bit expensive for s africa. This morning we entered kruger and drove at least 150km inside the park and saw imapalas, elephants, baboons, zebras, rhinos and water buffalo. There are main roads that a lot of peopel drive on but we can take the land rover on the basically empty off road trails. Now we just set up camp and are leaving soon on a guided night safari. Still looking for tigers, panthers, wild dogs, hippos, and giraffes.
look for the giraffes at the watering hole -they usually come out late night. it's really cool to watch them drink, they have to shimmy down on their front legs because of their looong necks. check it out!!
