Dale and Lucinda Cockrell
Come Join Us
As we drive through the iconic Kruger National Park in South Africa exploring its spectacular African wildlife and vast landscapes.
Dale and Lucinda Cockrell spent this past April on a self-guided safari traveling the entire 2 million hectare (7,523 sq mi) park encountering amazing animals and birds, wonderful people, and historical and archaeological sites. You’ll see stunning photographs of all the big five game animals and more. Kruger National Park has more species of large mammals than any other African game reserve – and an outstanding array of the lesser species. It’s truly a magical place and we’ll have tips on how you too can plan a do-it-yourself safari trip.
This was Dale’s 7th trip to South Africa (he taught at the University of Natal in Durban and is currently research associate of the University of the Free State).
