Kruger Safari!





Dear Friends,

Wow, we went on our first safari! Our friends/hosts/tour guides, Ann and Dave, took us to Kruger National Park on Friday. Kruger is just over the border in South Africa. What an adventure! We saw so many incredible animals. Dave drove us in his indestructible Land Cruiser. Micah, with his keen wildlife vision, spotted two lions under a bush about 100 yards away. We all grabbed our binoculars and verified his sighting. Later we got to see a huge male lion just 25 yards from the car. We kept track of the animals and birds and came up with over 26 different species. We got so close to a couple of elephants that Ann asked Dave to keep his foot on the accelerator in case we needed to escape! Here are a few photos. See the Kruger National Park slideshow listed under SLIDESHOWS to the left.

On Tuesday we are off to Cape Town. Please pray for safe travel and that our luggage will once again complete the journey with us. We are staying with Gabriel. Please pray that we will be a blessing to him and his ministry.

Thanks so much for all the emails. They mean so much to us!

Blessings,
Cathi
