Extraordinary stories from ordinary visitors to the Kruger National Park
I recently went to Kruger National Park in South Africa on my holidays and read this book while on my safari. In hindsight, this was possibly not a good idea as I was a wee bit scared by some of the stories I read.
Don’t get me wrong it is a great read and I do recommend it, just not when in the park itself. However, it does make you excited for seeing all the animals in their natural habitat.
This book is a celebration of Kruger and animal life and tells the stories of people’s individual safari’s and their encounters with the wildlife. And these stories include the ‘Battle of Kruger’ which was made famous on YouTube where lions attack a buffalo and the buffalo gets away – surprisingly unharmed.
Some of the stories are amazing, some are scary (especially when snakes are involved!) but some make you think and make you realise that it is never a good idea to get out of your car when on safari or get locked out of the camp leaving you stuck in the middle of the park during the night when the animals are on the hunt for prey! Some people can be silly - but it is very important to respect the animals and know it is their home you are in.
101 Tales of Kruger is a great read and one that is very hard to put down once you pick it up. If you have never been to Kruger, reading this book will make you want to do, so start saving your pennies!
