Kruger Park Safari, Mpumalanga, South Africa



I never thought that I would have the chance to visit the Safari. I always watched this on tv.... It was amazing!
From Cape Town, we took an aeroplane to Mpumalanga International Airport.
Mpumalanga Airport Welcome Sign



I like the design of this airport

From the airport,we had to take a bus. The journey took us about 1 hour. Hungry! We would be taking our lunch at the camp......While on the bus, I enjoyed the scenery of South Africa. The environment here is very different than Cape Town. The climate is also different. It was humid at that time. My tourist guide told us that it was summer time.....

This is a usual scenery of a village in Mpumalanga.


At the gate of Kruger Park

Look at the name of the park (Safari). It reminds me of Freddy Kruger of the Elm Street... Heheheheh!
The hut where I spent my nights in the camp of Kruger Park
These animals you see were wild animals... They looked as if they were tame. But actually, not. They were let in by the guards of the camp. Definitely, they wont let in the cheetahs and lions in.... Nak mati ker?
Adventurous gangs!
We were getting ready for the first ride in the Kruger Park. All of us were so excited. We didn't have much patient to see all of  the BIG FIVES of Africa.....
The kind of vehicle used for the 'Game Drive'
It was really important for us to listen and obey the instruction of the ranger in charge who happened to be our guide and also driver of the game drive
The scenery was amazing!

 Dwarf Mongoose

Natural fire fighters - the rhinos!
My favourite! 
Do you know how to recognize whether the zebra is male or female?
Simple! The male is the black one with white stripes and the female is the white with the black stripes! Hehehehehe!
Meet the King of the Savannah!

This is his wife! Just got back from honeymoon....


Enjoying the Game Drive!

Me and My Bodyguards..... Hehehehe
The beast was having its dinner
This animal lived in solitude because he was under exile. It was old and was waiting for its time.... to die!
Beautiful scenery at dusk!
It was waiting for any corpse to eat
She was amazing!
My favourite!
A very big African Elephant!!!! It frightened me!

Beautiful cheetah!
I saw a leopard after that but I couldn't manage to take its picture. It was too fast.
Hyene! Hyene! (I can make its sound perfectly!)
I am missing this place. It was an amazing experience! I thought I would never had a chance to visit Africa..... It was really expensive to go there. But, Allah is Great! I had a chance to go there free of charge. I won the Nestle Drumstick Brr...ave Contest! Alhamdulillah..... Thank You Allah. South Africa is one of the greatest creation of Allah.

Wasalam....
