Swaziland & Kruger National Park - Lessons learnt, lions & leopard!!!

Firstly, sorry for such a late post about our final weeks in South Africa. In-between actually doing the things I'm now writing about, prepping for and travelling back to the UK after 10 months away and then settling back home we rather lost track of our responsibility to keep everyone up to date.

As you may already know, or have cleverly worked out from reading the above paragraph, Melissa and I returned home to the UK after an epic 10 month adventure just over 2 weeks ago. We are now taking some time to adjust back to life here, but are full of experiences and memories that will stay with us for a lifetime. Now however, let me take you back a couple of months where we found ourselves again in Mtubatuba with my cousins and family and with time on our hands to work out what to do with.

One of the many breathtaking views we took in
Keen to visit as many countries as we could on our travels we made plans to visit Swaziland, and then venture into Kruger National Park, a national park the size of Wales that we had not yet managed to see during our extensive time away. The next 10 days would prove to hold many amazing experiences and sightings, stunning photograph opportunities and views but were also tinged with frustrations, wrong turns, mistakes and lessons learnt all along the way.
