I lived near the border with South Africa, so many of the things we did were a mix of south Africa and Mozambique, like the unique Kruger Park, in South Africa, a wildlife Park, where you drive through wild animals exchanging a close contact and observing their ways.

It's a rare opportunity to watch beautiful wild animals in their most natural habitat.
