OOOoooohhhh! I love the fact that you have already started this TR SO! :clap:

Thanks for all the good wishes everybody! We can't wait anymore! :dance:

The three nights are in KTP and the fourth one in Augrabies! This is just a "test drive" to see what is going on there after reading all the wonderful KTP trip reports, so that we can decide whether we want to exhange one of our two annual trips to KNP for KTP, which I am almost sure will be the case! I can't wait! :dance:

Barry and Hilda, when we decided to go to KTP, a few years ago it was with mixed feelings, being KNP addicts we where not sure what to expect and if we would enjoy it.

Well we weren't disappointed, it was very different to KNP, but we really enjoyed our trip,and went back again.

We stayed at TR Kieliekrankie( wonderful ) nossob, grootkolk,lots of mice at grootkolk, ukaranus,and back to TR.

It was a wonderful trip, and I'm sure like us you will really enjoy it.

Have a wonderful time :gflower:

3 days is just a tease. I've gazed into the crystal ball and I see a longer trip in the not too distant future. :whistle:

Enjoy

I just want to say to both of you Have a Great trip and come back safe and sound.
And there is one thing I can guarantee you are both going to be sorry it was just for a couple of days and that you didn't add the other KNP trip to this one.

If you stay tuned, you will see if we enjoyed it (there is no or not) because it is a SANPark that we visit

Sheenaugh-Lee, I am retiring on the 30th of September and still had a few days leave available from last year that I will loose if not taken

.

Though it will be a good idea to explore KTP before we take the big plunch (maybe 12 days?) :hmz:

.

Hope that we will report back on stunning sightings for you 'mites to enjoy :hmz:

The availability of leave is the reason for the short visit

What you saw in the crystal ball might just come true :hmz:

Thanks for wishing us well with the trip :thumbs_up:

I only had a few days leave available before I retire on the 30th of September (don't want to use my current cycle leave, because that will pay for a few visits in future :thumbs_up:

).
Hope we will be able to report back on lots of KTP birdie sightings
