Day one of our annual December bush pilgrimage, this year to the Kruger National Park, and despite all the lions, jackals, elephants, rhinos, hippos, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras and antelope that crossed our paths today it was this tiny little warthog piglet and his siblings that were the real crowd pleasers!
