I'm really looking forward to Cape Point and shooting the Penguin colony they have there. Just today I heard an interesting story from an acquaintance who was there a few weeks ago that said while at Cape Point, even though there were signs that said "no picnicking", they picnicked and had some unfriendly baboons raid their food. Apparently the Cape Point Baboons are like bears and will raid anything to get food over there (if you want a good laugh just Google some videos). Have you seen the size of a Baboons teeth?! I'll make sure to not have food on me while I'm shooting them...
While in Kruger National Park we will be staying at Ngala Private Game Reserve.

Ngala means lion in Shangaan. Hopefully that's what we will find! In the past week I've been really excited and doing a lot of research. I found a blog for the wildlife sightings here that is pretty cool. We will have a game drive at sunrise and sunset each day.
So stay tuned...I'm sure I will have tons of images for you in a few weeks!
