Good day. Hi Guys and thanks for your responses. We hope to bring you a bit of KNP as addition to gloomy work days. Yes, we have been in for a week now, and animals are not neglecting us (most of the time). Monday dawned with drizzle and I decided not to go out.  Later [...]

Jock’s monument… Big Deal… Just look at me!

Monday, August 29th, 2011 by Maja

Good day. Sunday was another day to enjoy the Park.  We got up in time but sky did not looked promising.  And Sunday dawned cloudy, overcast and miserable. We were on our way to Pretoriuskop via H2.  Just before Afsaal there were Giraffes next to the road. I clicked with my camera and when I [...]

Saturday

Good day. On Saturday we don’t  work and usually have time for a nice long drive. We decided to do a classic S25, H4, H3 circle via Skukuza. It is a long drive, but can be very exciting. Unfortunately, a lot of other people had the same idea. Park was very crowded this weekend.  Weather [...]

After more than 2 months we are back in the Park again. Arrived on Monday!  When we were checking in the guy at the reception could not believe we are checking if for 34 days. Well, life is beautiful. It took us three hours to set up the office and then there was no time [...]

Saturday, June 11th, 2011 by Maja

   Hi from warm KNP, Yesterday we had a hiccup. We needed couple of things from Bergendal shop and C. volunteered to go there. I was on gourd for monkeys. He left camp before 3 o’clock and came back with a story. Coming back just a couple of hundred meters from Bergendal gate there was [...]

Lions and Tyres

Friday, June 10th, 2011 by Maja

Hi, No, I have not seen the lions this morning. I left early to go to Matjulu loop, knowing that if I am first there I might get a chance to spot them, as the other day. But I was not the first one. About a kilometer or two from Bergendal, before the junction to [...]
