Last Days in the Timbavati, Kruger National Park

On July 26, we traveled by van for two hours past little towns and villages to the Timbavati area of Kruger National Park.  We arrived at Tanda Tula Safari Camp for another unique and wonderful experience.  We enjoyed our last few days in Africa here.


"Glamping"  (glamorous tent camping) at its best:
  


We had to use carabiners to fasten the tent flaps so that the monkeys could not unzip and steal our things.  D forgot one afternoon when he went to take a shower (in the outdoor shower) and two monkeys had unzipped and were staring at him from the tent entrance!








More animals to see:







Those elephants      https://youtu.be/-Sm9fWmjpIA    kept coming!





The evening of the full lunar eclipse, Tanda Tula staff had a little celebrations for us at a watering hole. There were food, drinks, lanterns, the sunset and the moonrise!







A final early morning drive.






Breakfast in the bush!





A walk with Chad (and his gun)!





Afrikaan game:  Spitting impala poop.  Go for the distance!

                                                   Learning to use the toothbrush bush.

 They call this plant "the toilet paper bush" for a reason.

Good -bye Africa.  You will be missed!
