At Kruger National Park you can see lions and tigers and… elephants. Also rhinos, impala with corkscrew horns, Cape buffalo, and eight-foot termite mounds. Colors are mostly shades of brown and gray, some green. We had been in the Limpopo River Valley for days, staying in camps that had tents high off the ground or traditional-style huts built of concrete and thatch, and at least one hut or tent with running water for cooking and bathing. Our senses were heightened by the immersion in such different landscapes and the cultures of the people we visited.
These impala lilies were surreal, growing on a tree by the welcome center, and reminded me to look at the more delicate vegetation as we drove through the park looking for big game (no, best to not get out of the car and become cat toys!).
