Day 5

Yesterday we went to Kruger National Park. As soon as we drove into the park, we stopped to look at an AMAZING sunrise. It was so awesome to see the beauty of God's creation. Within 5 minutes of driving through the park, we saw a beautiful leopard lying in a tree. It was so fun (but also kind of scary) to see a leopard up close and personal! I could have looked at it all day! Next, we saw some zebras and a huge herd of buffalo. They also have these cool animals in South Africa called impalas and kudu. Kudu look like a mix between a zebra, unicorn, and a deer. They're very beautiful creatures! While we were driving, we saw a leopard sitting in the middle of the road. The leopard spotted some impalas. It was interesting to watch that scenario play out :) Then, we saw some elephants and elephant babies and lots of giraffes! It was amazing to see such majestic animals in their natural habitat. It really got me thinking about how creative God is. Towards the end of the day we saw some lions protecting their kill. Seeing how they brought down a huge buffalo was amazing to me. They really are powerful animals. Looking back on the day, I think what really stuck out to me was how big God is. No small god or a bag bang could have created such complex and beautiful animals.
