Some moments
stay with you.
Lion cubs looking out from the grass. Elephants gathered beneath the trees. Zebras grazing across an open clearing.
Emily’s photographs from Kruger capture moments worth stopping for. But her memories of this camping trip also include the person who helped make it special: Julie Edwards.
A landscape with
room to explore
In northeastern South Africa, Kruger stretches across nearly 20,000 square kilometres. Proclaimed a national park in 1926, it protects a remarkable variety of landscapes, from mopane woodland and open savanna to riverine forest, rocky hills and acacia and marula woodlands.
Along its eastern edge, the Lebombo Mountains form a natural boundary with Mozambique. Across the park, rivers and seasonal watercourses sustain wildlife and bring changing views to the journey.
Emily’s photographs show something of that scale: broad rivers, wooded banks and open skies, with plenty to appreciate between wildlife sightings.
Moments worth
watching
Kruger is home to elephants, rhinos, buffalo, baboons, plains zebras, warthogs, numerous antelope species and predators.
In Emily’s photographs, it is the smaller scenes within that abundance that hold the attention: lion cubs resting beside a lioness, elephants standing together in the shade, and a herd of zebra spread across the grass.
Every visit brings different sightings. Taking time to watch is part of the pleasure.
Look beyond the
larger animals
With more than 500 bird species recorded, Kruger offers plenty for birdwatchers, too.
Martial eagles, southern ground hornbills, rollers, kingfishers, bee-eaters and southern yellow-billed hornbills are among the birds that make this such a rewarding place to explore. Riverbanks, woodland and the areas around camps all invite a closer look.
The personal side
of a camping safari
“I had an amazing camping trip in Kruger with Julie Edwards, an extremely knowledgeable guide whose safari cooking was delicious.”
Emily Chavrier
For Emily, Julie’s knowledge and safari cooking were memorable parts of the trip.
That personal experience sits at the heart of this story. Alongside the wildlife and landscapes, it is a reminder of how much the person you travel with can contribute to your enjoyment of a place.
