Spotting the Big 5 in Kruger National Park

Kruger National Park is one of South Africa’s largest game reserves, with a high density of wild animals populating its grounds. I spent one day driving through Kruger during my time in South Africa, and although I definitely recommend spending multiple days here, I was amazingly able to see the Big 5 all in one day!

A Look Back at 2016

Hello there! Welcome to The Traveling Vet Girl. It’s a little late in the year to be doing an overview of 2016, but what better way to kick off a new website than to reminisce over the past year. 2016 was full of amazing new experiences, places, and people that I could have never imagined.  And as always when I travel, I feel I grew more as a person.  Now more than ever, travel is a way to broaden horizons, be more open minded, and learn how to walk in someone else’s shoes.  Which brings me to the purpose of this site. I want to inspire people to dream beyond their wildest imagination of destinations they long to explore. But most importantly, more than just dream, I want people to GO. To not let the ‘what if’s’ hold them back. To show people they CAN get around the insecurities and fears that hold so many people back. Fears of not enough money, enough time, safety, being alone… the list could go on and on. The world is a beautiful place and life is short. I want to inspire people to get out of their comfort zones, and GO EXPLORE!
