Look cute don't they? Distructive thieves are what they are.
There are several places in the park that allow you to get out of the car to observe things like Hippos in the river. Roll up the windows! This cute mother and son ended up in our car when we were not looking.
They take things, run away and throw whatever they have stolen everywhere.
You have been warned!

Warnings Or Dangers: ANIMAL BUTTS!

If you want to visit Kruger, you need a very expensive camera and loads of film and/or a big memory card. Here is the thing. Animals move! Boy, do they. They are just thinking survival. They often move their rear ends to face you because they then have the ability to run in the exact opposite direction should you pose a threat. They are thinking lions and not being on the carnivore daily specials menu. Only the Elephants slowly walk towards you, and that can be a safety issue too. Do not be ashamed if you have to buy postcards. The big cats like to hide in direct proportion to the amount of money you paid for the holiday AND the cost of your camera multiplied by how new it is.
Animal butts, get used to it!

Do I have your attention? Good. Most of South Africa is Malaria free. Kruger National Park does have Malaria and the mosquitoes to infect you with it. My doctor once told me that 1 million Europeans a year get Malaria! And it can be very fatal after just one mosquito bite. Please do not take chances. You need to start your course of medication 2 weeks before you travel. I highly recommend you use an insect repellent with 100% DEET. It is best not to get bitten at all. So have a safe and healthy holiday.
MALARIA can incubate in your body for years. Do you really want to take the chance?
I would suggest you buy repellent with 100% DEET.
DEET

Interesting page. Excellent animal shots of the animals front ends. | Tom_In_Madison Sat Feb 9, 2008 22:52 UTC
Thanx for the warning on animal butts! Why is the abbreviation for South Africa, ZA?? | SLLiew Tue Dec 4, 2007 05:23 UTC
Amazing photos of animals - antelope-look-alike to zebra. Interesting that most threatening species to man is not the largest but the smallest - the malarial carrying mosquitoes. | canuck68 Sun Apr 29, 2007 04:20 UTC
Thanks to your very good pages, I have just spent a very interesting hour in Africa. I love it that the African families adopted you. I hope to get back to South Africa. thanks, Diane |
