Trip to Kruger National Park during my final year at school

 In my final year at school, I went to The Kruger National Park with a school friend, Colin Strain.  We stayed at his dad's holiday home on a reserve next to the park. The highlight of the trip was my first sighting of a leopard and beautiful Bush Babies in the trees as night.
