Thompsons Africa took my group on three safaris while we traveled from Johnannesburg to Cape Town in late October, 2008. This video features the wildlife we saw in those three parks/reserves:

Kruger National Park - a young Baboon, a day old Giraffe and its mother, a bull Elephant being faced down at the local water hole by a mother White Rhinoceros; the Rhino's baby suckles on his mother; Zebras at the water hole; a Leopard sitting on a rock beside a river; a herd of Elephants cross a road while tourists look on from their vehicle.

St. Lucia Estuary - groups of Hippopotamus in the water; Kingfisher eating a freshly-caught fish.

Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Game Reserve - a small group of Kudu grazing in the bush; a pair of White Rhinoceros grazing on grass
