St Lucia to Kruger

Well we woke up to very overcast and drizzle and we set of to the boat trip on the St Lucia estuary,
we got the 3 pods of hippos and a crock and two Fish eagles but sadly due to the wind and rain not much bird life.
The group had a game drive booked to Hlehluwe and some went on drive, I was asked to stay behind to be there if anyone would need attention, I was more than happy to looking at the weather,
when they returned they were frozen and had only seen few animals, but the ones they saw were very close.

During the course of the day I happened to go and check on the bus as there was some activity happening there, there was a mechanic and with this some very bad news the engine of the bus was being held together by 1 last nut the other 15 had snapped of.
this was the beginning of a log night, I then contacted the bus company and the owner told me to wait for there call, i told her well we have to leave the hotel the next morning at 08:00. At 10pm she called me to say they are still looking for a bus. At 1am she called me to say they have found a bus in Stanger, An Indian Village outside Durban, But they cant get hold of driver. 7am the next day<Thursday> I get a call saying the driver has just left and should be there by 10am.
Now the tour leader drops a bomb on my head, so I returned the favour by informing him that he arranged the bad buses not me.

So finally 9am the bus arrived and by 9:15 we were on the road and finally the day went well, we stayed at the Royal Villas, wow what a place, this is where President Zuma Stays when he visits Swaziland.

The boarder went with ease the drive to Kruger was ok just very hot.

Kruger well we saw a load of good things, and a awesome Lion lying in the road, i put a photo on Face book yesterday.

Kruger park game drive, wow we had just entered the park at 05:30 not even 1 minuet we got a leopard with a kill, great shots, we drove about 10 minuets further and another leopard walking in the road, then we got some giraffe and all the other odds just one lion far away but no Buffalo, 15 minuets later bam two more Leopards in a tree.
Then we drove to Skakuza for breakfast, after we left we drove over the Sabi river well 3 more lions but also too far for photos, then we got another leopard under a tree, an hour later another to far for photos but could make out with binos, then on rote to lunch another leopard under a tree hiding in long grass, after lunch another female under a tree, so the guests say this is easy whats the fuss about leopards???? I could only laugh

Tomorrow is another big day we leave the hotel at 6am do the Blyde canyon and have to get to OR Tambo for 5:30pm ouch.
