What to See in Kruger National Park (Apart From the Big 5)

A trip to the Kruger Park and the lovely African bush, can still get me as excited as a child at a Christmas tree!
We were lucky enough to see all of the Big 5, but there is so much more to see! I am sharing some of the pics, to hopefully open up the minds of people who think you go there to see the lions!

We have had a lovely week, staying at the magnificent Ngwenya Lodge. These pictures show the view we had from our balcony – Kruger National Park starting right below our chalet.

A few elephants grazing a little further. We had some of them hanging around our view day and night. No 1 of the Big 5, and we did not even have to leave our comfy chairs!
