Kruger National Park Day 3

For the third day in the park, we had to make the long drive from our camping site at the northern end of the park all the way down to the Lodge we were staying at for the final night, just at the south end. Again, we had a 5:30 am start, did some looking around, and after breakfast, we set out.On the way there, we spotted two Lionesses hunting Wildebeest, which were mixed in with a large herd of Impala. We watched what went on for about an hour, and a few times I thought we were going to see some action. Twice, an Impala came within about 20 feet of the Lions, but they ignored it both times, more focused on the Wildebeest. Eventually the Impala noticed the Lions, and began to snort and make noise to alert the others, but surprisingly, did not run away. Eventually, it walked away when the herd left, and we also went on our way.We spotted a herd of Water Buffalo, and got some good pictures of that. We were told they are the preferred meal of Lions due to the fact that they are so thick and full of meat. However, they also can kill Lions due to their size and aggression, so it isn't as easy as picking off a Wildebeest. Our guide said it can take up to 3 hours for a group of Lions to take down a Water Buffalo.
We then went over to a large Dam that was built to control the flow of water to Kruger and the surrounding area, called Blythe River Canyon. We took a small boat cruise there, going around on the reservoir, which at the bottom ranges from 700 to 1300 metres, depending on the size of the cliffs surrounding it. Tomorrow we were going to swing around to the top on the way back to Johannesburg. The river cruise highlighted things such as the weeping face of nature, which is a natural formation in the rock that has a small waterfall running down what appears to be the right cheek of the face.
Eventually, we got to our Lodge and had the rest of the afternoon and the evening to sit around and do nothing. Tomorrow would be the final day.
