These are shots from the first five days of a South Africa trip: a night spent at Blyde River Canyon and then three nights spent at Skukuza Camp in Kruger National Park. The drive from Johannesburg airport to Blyde River Canyon took us the whole first day and was essentially uneventful. Next morning we spent some time photographing common garden birds in the camp area, then visited the Taita Falcon at noon and drove the north loop around the canyon. We arrived in Kruger in late afternoon and drove straight to Skukuza camp. In Skukuza we spent the better part of the first day birding inside the camp and drove a small loop southwards in late evening, second morning we visited Lake Panic hide and the Pretoriuskop camp in the afternoon. Third morning was overcast and even drizzling, we spent some more time in the camp with very little success, then started the drive to Satara camp. This part of the trip ends when we crossed the river at around 10 30.
