Baby Warthogs


While in Kruger National Park we came across some baby warthogs that were butting their heads together (as male children often do). I took a small video with my camera. Sorry for the quality.

Venda Song

Here is a brief recording of one of the songs sung at the Venda services I mentioned in a previous post. It wasn't recorded with the best of equipment (being out in a rural area with no electricity), and I tried to clean up the audio as best as I could. This recording does not do the song service justice, but I hope it gives you at least a taste.



I think you can probably pick out the woman I was talking about. I don't know her name, but I absolutely love her enthusiasm!

Lone Creek Falls

Kruger National Park

I visited Kruger National Park for a day, and came back with many many pictures. There are too many to put into one post, so I will spread them out over multiple posts over multiple days.

It was overcast, and rained much of the time I was there (but truth be told, I was thankful it was not unbearably hot, which is how it can get when it's not raining). Of the "Big Five" as they call them (elephant, rhino, African buffalo, lion and leopard) I only saw elephants and rhinos. But I immensely enjoyed the trip, and I got to see some amazing scenery and animals up close in the wild.
