Kruger Through a Mom's Eyes | The Kitchings

September 2023. Phalaborwa gate, burnt veld still smouldering, the kids’ first time at Mopani, sparse sightings, and one extraordinary fish eagle and crocodile sequence at the Letaba River. The quiet trips are the ones that stay with you.

March 2023. My 30th birthday, just Sheldon and me, northern Kruger for the first time. A cheetah before breakfast, hippos at the Mopani fence, the elephant incident we don’t fully discuss, lion cubs waiting in the dark, and a trip cut short by real life.
