On a vacation to the Kruger, we were fortunate enough to see a pack of about ten wild dog, which was a first for me. They ran next to the road we were traveling on for the best part of half an hour, and it was fascinating to watch them up close. Another memorable experience was a friend\u2019s wedding in Pafuri. We were almost late for the wedding because an elephant had positioned himself outside our room and was not budging off the path that we needed to walk down to get to the Land Rover. Thankfully a guide came to find us when we didn\u2019t arrive in time and ensured we were able to cross over safely.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"wak-sc-img\">\n            \n<picture>\n    <source media=\"(max-width:575px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/beta.yellowzebrasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bis-images\/2198\/Sitatunga-2-345x345-f50_50.jpg, https:\/\/beta.yellowzebrasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bis-images\/2198\/Sitatunga-2-690x690-f50_50.jpg 2x\">\n    <source media=\"(max-width:991px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/beta.yellowzebrasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bis-images\/2198\/Sitatunga-2-600x600-f50_50.jpg, https:\/\/beta.yellowzebrasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bis-images\/2198\/Sitatunga-2-1200x1200-f50_50.jpg 2x\">\n    <source media=\"(min-width:992px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/beta.yellowzebrasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bis-images\/2198\/Sitatunga-2-600x600-f50_50.jpg, https:\/\/beta.yellowzebrasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bis-images\/2198\/Sitatunga-2-1200x1200-f50_50.jpg 2x\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\"  data-src=\"https:\/\/beta.yellowzebrasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bis-images\/2198\/Sitatunga-2-345x345-f50_50.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/beta.yellowzebrasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bis-images\/2198\/Sitatunga-2-345x345-f50_50.jpg, https:\/\/beta.yellowzebrasafaris.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/bis-images\/2198\/Sitatunga-2-690x690-f50_50.jpg 2x\" class=\"wak-radius-image lazyload\" alt=\"\" width=\"345\" height=\"345\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 345px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 345\/345;\" \/><\/picture>        <\/div>\n            \n<\/div>\n\n<div\n    id=\"wak-acf-block-858048\"\n    class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-spacer wak-pad-top-md wak-pad-bot-md wak-theme-light mobile-space-100 tablet-space-100 desktop-space-120\"\n    data-color-mode=\"light\"\n    data-theme=\"light\">\n<\/div>\n\n<div\n    id=\"wak-acf-block-706547\"\n    class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-wysiwyg wak-pad-top-md wak-pad-bot-md wak-theme-light wak-content-layout-default\"\n    data-color-mode=\"light\"\n    data-theme=\"light\">\n    <style type=\"text\/css\">.wak-acf-block.wak-acf-block-wysiwyg{flex-direction:column}.wak-acf-block.wak-acf-block-wysiwyg .wak-copy-content-wysiwyg-container{max-width:920px;width:100%}<\/style>\n    <div class=\"wak-copy wak-copy-content-wysiwyg-container wak-body-standard-text\" ><h3 class=\"is-size-4\">Kristen&#8217;s Bio<\/h3>\n<p>Born in Johannesburg, Kristen spent the first few years of her life there until moving to the coastal city of Port Elizabeth for high school. This is where her love for the beach was born. After school she studied English and Psychology at university, and after graduating she spent 3 years teaching in London and traveling through Europe whenever she had a gap. Kristen later taught in Hong Kong before returning home to South Africa to settle down and start a family.<\/p>\n<p>She loves the Kruger National Park, especially when she goes with her husband and young sons. She enjoys experiencing the bush in general, from the crisp mornings to sitting around the fire at night. In Zimbabwe, Hwange and Lake Kariba are my favorites, and I am looking forward to seeing more of Africa now that the boys are old enough to travel farther afield.<\/p>\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n\n<div\n
