The first thing I noticed after visiting uganda is how different South Africa is. Uganda is a very poor country and here you can get cappuccino, butter, things that it just aren't available there. There were even two places within Kruger where you could get ice cream and coffee drinks! The park itself is huge! I'm sure I saw only a small portion despite doing 3 game drives and a night Safari as well. The guide I had all to myself except for one day shared with 2 others was great. We saw so many animals with the exception for me being the leopard. They can be quite elusive and that was the case for me although thanks to a new friend, I was able to see videos of the elusive leopard and even some wild dogs!
Despite having great reviews on TripAdvisor, I found I could/should have booked directly with the lodge where I stayed which offered everything without the necessity of the "tour" company. Due to this, I missed the leopard and dogs but it was still quite lovely and I saw many animals and met some very nice people. Ah, well - live and learn and I have no regrets.

Of course there are 100's more photos of giraffes and many of the same animals I saw in Uganda but no need to publish more! I am now in Hout Bay, Cape Town which is incredibly beautiful. Blog to follow.
