Cape Town to Kruger

We checked out at Spier early and drove 30 minutes to Cape Town airport where Colin was waiting for us with our "excess baggage". After fare welling Colin we boarded our SAA jet to Nelspruit and then got into a Cessna for the 30 min flight to Hoedspruit.
We were collected by Doug who drove us to Kapama Karula Lodge about 30 minutes from the airport. On the way we saw Giraffe, Zebra, Impala, Warthog, Steenbock, Kudu and Vervet monkeys. After checking in we walked to our room and found a family of 3 Nyala antelope just outside our door.

After afternoon tea we left on our first game drive at about 4pm and here are some of the sights
Elephant - Number 1 of "The Big 5"
Buffalo - Number 2 of "The Big 5"
Zebra and Impala
 
Lion - Number 3 of "The Big 5"
These were not taken with a telephoto lens!!
