These are the pictures from our trip to the Kruger National Park. ENJOY.

I received a comment requesting some further information on the park and the pictures, so I have updated this with as much info as I could. ... (more)

Thanks a lot for your good pix! It was so much better seeing these, instead of getting up at 4 a.m. to go look at the animals! I esp. love the lilac-breasted roller and the warthog! The l.b. roller got its name, as when it's in a "mating mode", it rolls around the branch! Must be quite a sight!!

What?
These are nice photos, and some of them are self-explantory, but it really would help if you would edit them and provide a brief description of most of them.
