The Critchfield family while on safari stayed in the camps of Satara and Olifants, thease camps are situated in the central and northern sectors of the park. Sightings were generally good with many different sightings of Elephant, Giraffe, Buffalo, Zebra, Wildebeest as well as sightings of Hyena, Crocodiles, Baboon etc. The Critchfield family also experianced wonderful sightings on two leopards on impala killstogether with there cubs, as well as sightings on a kill really close to the H1 road btween Satars and Tshokwane picnic spot. The Critchfields came to Africa from the United States as a family, below is a letter received from them upon there return to the Unioted States from South Africa.
Dear Dean, Mark and Verity,
On behalf of the six members of my family who were on safari hosted you on the 26/09/2009 through 29/09/2009, i want to thank you for a memorable experiance. We trully had a good time, and we got some great photos of animals and the scenery as well. We have hundreds of photos to keep our memories sharp for a lifetime.
Mark was a great guide as he mixed in humour with his expertise regarding the park. Our consecutive sightings of a leopard and its impala kill, two female lions and their zebra kill, and another leopard with its cub and impala kill and another male and female lion were very exciting. These sightings all happened within thirty minutes of one another....
We had seen the big 5, plus sightings of hyena, crocodiles, a mother baboon holding her baby, a chemeleon (at night), and ostriches, including on with 10 chicks. We saw jackal during the day time which was unusual since it normally is a nocturnal animal. The scenic views along the rivers were awsome in their beauty with the elephants and crocodiles matched against there natural backgrounds. Dean, I had extreme pleasure discussing your country and the worlds problem spots in route from the park to Johannesburg airport. My family thought your were humorous too. Many thanks for getting us safely and on time for our flight. May your son have the best time and experiance in the USA! Mark i offer you my thanks to you for gettin g me to a safe haven with my stomach cramps. You would make a great emergency driver. Kruger National Park is an amazing place to visit, your country should be proud of it. I would recommend it to anyone in the world.
If i return to Kruger, i will seek you as my host
In Christian love from the USA (Pennsylvania)
Critchfield Family -- Richard, JoAnn, Becky, Jim, Susie and Sascha
