Leaving Bulembu and Entering the Wild

Well we just left Bulembu this morning, it was a little sad that everyone was leaving and saying goodbye to the children was very sad for all of us. We are in Kruger National Park, which is acutally in South Africa and not Swaziland. It was so amazing to drive in and just this afternoon we saw:
impala male and female
waterbuck
warthogs
hornhill-bird
hornroller-bird
african elephants a baby one too!
many giraffe
water buffalo
zebra
a herd of elephants together
2 hippos
and to top it off right when we were supposed to be heading back to the camps...
we saw 3 male lions and 2 female that walked right next to the car
It was really amazing to see them in their natural environment and know that they are able to roam here... but we still get to see them is awesome.

It was so wonderful to be in Bulembu we learned so much and truly will be changed in our hearts and minds forever. I think everyone is excited for the weekend, but ready for the long trip home too!
