For two days the big bam…,
Was the wake up call at 4 am…

For a game run,
In the rising sun.

By bus to Kruger Park,
While it was still dark.

Then I had to take a leap…
To get into the safari jeep.

We were able to see walking and alive:
Four of the big five.

Giraffe, elephant, rhinoceros, and water buffalo close up,
And many others, including impalas, kudos, and a baboon with his cub.

Also the lion is in existence,
Because we saw two into the distance.

The expanded views are impressive,
And the animals are not aggressive.

I did not know what to expect,
But the best pictures do not reflect,

The awe you feel
When you see them for real.
