Day 281  May 13 2015  Orpen Rest Camp  Kruger National Park  South Africa

I got up at 6 am and sat on the outdoor couch drinking coffee and watching the animals coming to drink at the river.  I saw a pack of elephants, zebras, bush bucks, a hippo, and some beautiful birds; it was a very nice start to the day.    We drove to Orpen taking mainly the gravel roads and going slow arriving at 2:30 pm.  On the way to the camp we saw may impala, giraffes, kudu, elephants, buffalo, crocodiles as well as a troop of baboons that were all around our car.   We went out for a drive at 4 pm and saw the standard animals as well as 8 dwarf mongooses.  The new animal of the day was a tree iguana.
