Rare artbcpa Posted March 25, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I am just posting a selection of photos from our first 24 hours at Kruger National Park, Mala Mala Game Reserve (Ratray's Camp) In South Africa. It has been truly fantastic. On the way from the airport to the Camp, we saw 3 of the Big 5. This morning we saw one more - the leopard. We are only missing the Cape Buffalo, In addition, we have seen lots of other animals plus several babies and Ratray's Camp is out of this world. I will be posting more photos over the next 48 hours. Hope you enjoy. Art Berkowitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare artbcpa Posted March 26, 2014 Author #5 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Last night we tracked leopards and this morning we tracked Cape hunting dogs. The hunting dogs got their kill and dozens of vultures carefully looked for an opportunity to steal their prize. We watched for about an hour as the two groups played cat and mouse, but the hunting dogs always stayed one step ahead. Finally we moved on satisfied that we had seen the best of the interchange. During the afternoon, we were fortunate to come across a 9-member pride of lions. We watched for about an hour, but they mostly just layed in the grass. Amazing how complacent you can become when you are seeing these fantastic creatures day after day. Later on we spotted another leopard and a small group of elephants with a very tiny baby. I will be adding more photos with today's captures in just a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare artbcpa Posted March 28, 2014 Author #6 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Now that we are back to the ship, I was able to do a Best of Safari album. Enjoy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txladycruiser Posted March 28, 2014 #7 Share Posted March 28, 2014 How did you go about making arrangements for your safari? What tour group did you use? Did you feel it was considerably less expensive than the ships excursions? Thanks! Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl64 Posted March 28, 2014 #8 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I am also interested in your details particularly the tour company, how long, destinations, etc. we are booked on an Oceania TA for 2015. We want to do this before our cruise. We are also considering Victoria Falls. Did you do this from Cape Town or Johannesburg? Loved your pictures. What type of camera and lenses?
