Kruger spreads over nearly 20,000 sq km of unspoilt scrubland punctuated by acacia and mopane trees. |
There is the touch of the camel-thorn acacia that has just been grazed by a giraffe, and the smell of wild sage as you brush past it in the bush. |
All around me white and yellow flowering acacia trees are abuzz with bees, wasps, and colorful cetoniid beetles. |
Without vaulting or trusses, Yemeni traditional architecture had to rely on the usable length of palm, acacia or tamarisk trunks for spans. |
Tours of the grounds include a walk through a forest filled with pine, cryptomeria, acacia and a wide variety of other plants. |
Further north are areas covered with acacia bushes, the source of gum arabic. |
