cooked, it tasted fine and as usual the boys washed theirs down with beer, while I opted for a lovely bottle of white as I was fed up with beer by then! I may have been converted into drinking beer, but it really isn’t my favourite drink and I can’t say that I’m particularly wild about either South African or Namibian beer. Russian beer is still my firm favourite and I’m only hoping there is somewhere back in England where you can buy it from seeing our time for revisiting England is getting ever nearer.

Again we were up and out before check out time. This time we were away by 8.45. We drove round for about an hour and saw one elephant and a tortoise! We then decided that it was time to head out of the park for good and make our way to Swaziland, our next destination and country! Kruger had been brilliant. We’d all had a wonderful time and the thrill of seeing all of these animals in the

wild is second to none. It is great that you can do it all yourself and it isn’t really that expensive. I always thought that to do a safari you had to have lots of money but places like Kruger allows for budget safaris and is really good fun.
