We fly from Johannesburg to begin our journey to Kruger National Park, where we will stay at a resort that will take us out on Safari in the morning and afternoon. We have rented a car, so that’s a new addition to the adventure: first time driving on the other side of the road, and in a manual transmission car. We sightsee and spend the night along the way.

Pretty soon after driving into the park, we spot some zebras and other animals, then some elephants, just walking along the road. It takes us 3 hours to drive 75 miles on this dirt road.
