Kruger Park -- Manyaleti Game Reserve Fall 2008

In Fall 2008, after an engineering conference, I took a five day safari in one of the private game reserves adjacent to the Kruger National Park outside of Hoedspruit, South Africa. You learn a lot about yourself hanging out with your relatives that you co-evolved with. 1.7 million years of 'hanging out' will teach you a lot about each other.

Me outside the plane at the Hoedspruit Airport -- 280 lbs -- yikes! I do like being 40 lbs. lighter!

Saw these guys pretty much when we got on the property. Around the property is a velociraptor fence designed to keep the lions out of the neighboring village.

Female (I believe) Kudu

White Rhinos, looking pretty black

Zebra butt -- nasty animals. Well, everything that runs around down there wants to kill you...

I didn't get bitten by this millipede
