After a few months in Botswana and Namibia we’ve returned to Kruger for 4 weeks. First stop is Letaba in the middle part of the park. It’s pretty quiet as most game viewing is further south which is fine with us. Our first game drive was uneventful for the first hour but then around a corner there were hundreds of zebra and wildebeest. A bit further was a watering hole with well over 100 elephants. Amazing. Being extremely happy with our good luck we headed back to camp. There were a couple of cars stopped in the road and my usually observant wife stated “it’s an elephant “ which was there but I suspect most people were looking at the cheetah perched upon a rock marker like a statue eyeing the nearby zebra and wildebeest for lunch. I’ve heard people speculate about the dumbest animal in the park such as the wildebeest or dung beetle but my vote goes to humans. The idiots in two cars were moving back and forward to get a better view and eventually were just a few feet away and one car did a U turn so the people on the other side of the car could see. The cheetah, clearly irritated, finally hopped down scaring off the animals. I may have waved at them with a finger.
Kruger is like golf - you should have to pass a test before entry.
