With the mercury nudging above 11 degrees, we down mugs of freshly ground coffee and depart the camp on foot. It's a photographer s paradise as the sun slowly rises above a hilltop. Soft light bathes the landscape in a warm morning glow. We walk in a state of suspended tranquillity. Even the birds, it seems, are celebrating the new season.
Time loses meaning in the kruger beauty.
We break for breakfast on a hill overlooking a massive plain. Herds of impala, zebra, and blue wildebeest graze in harmony with a white rhino and playful baby in tow. A giraffe smoothly gallops through the trees with the grace of a ballet dancer. And in the distance, our herd of buffalo awaits us. It's not only animal enthusiasts who are kept entertained on the Kruger's wilderness walks.
