Book's & Life 
That sounds like an interesting book. When I think about Kruger I think about Lions, Crocodiles and Water Buffalo but the smaller critters are just as fascinating.
They really are. Some of these insects are however not limited to the Kruger though, we stay close to a bird sanctuary so I’m constantly fishing out odd critters from the pool.
Yes there are a lot of odd critters. Our mini-Australian Shepherd Rollo used to find the strangest looking critters in our backyard and bring them into the house. I can’t imagine what you might find.
Some pretty gnarly stuff lol 😆 and I’m so not a fan of critters.
