Thriller's travel blog in Kruger national park, south africa, South Africa. He went on 10 of August 2007 for 1 day. He went for get closer to nature. Thriller went with a friend. He got there and around by car or van, airplane or helicopter. Thriller's travel verdict is: life changing.

The famous "Battle at Kruger" video

Having always wanted to go on safari myself, I came across this unbelievable video on YouTube that made me very jealous. It is worth watching every second of the 8 minutes 23 seconds. You really won't believe it!

Apologies for shameless plagiarism but this was too good not to share! We have to thank David Budzniski (and his steady hand) for this travel inspiration.

A testament to the power of the citizen journalist. You won't leave home without a camera ever again.

You could go on safari for 50 years and never see this!

Thanks for posting that! A friend of mine just sent it to me the other day. It is absolutely amazing! I was in Kruger and never saw anything that even came close to it.

Who would win in a fight between a lion, a crocodile and a buffalo? I think we have our answer.

That video's made it to Canada too! Weren't you rooting for the little buffalo and cheering when he emerged from the melee near the end?!

I lived in E Africa and was fortunate to Safari a lot but never saw a three way battle like this! One thing we always did tho' was to keep well clear of Buffalo!

We had some excitements tho' - Our car was ambushed in high grass by a decidedly p...ed off rhino once - it got to within about 6 feet of the back of the car doing about 25mph (according to my friend in the back) before my adrenaline powered right foot (actually my old Saab 96, never the most reliable of safari cars) won the race !

Dave Budzinski thank you - it was great to see the little guy win for a change! TV Wildlife shows seem to enjoy sudden death, not to mention the presenter's face in the camera all the time ! This makes a great change !!
