Grantmissy, indeed it was wonderful

I stayed in tent 27, wonderful views of the river.

On my way I passed 2 romantic Leopard pairs. This happened in a space of 20 minutes. Four Leopards in 20 minutes now that is a record to beat.

Tomorrow is my last night and I will be staying in the one bedded hut. I have stayed there before and it is possibly Kruger's best kept secret.

Photos taken off the internet, an e-mail someone sent me.
At the camp


The bridge below L.S.

Hi kujo!

Look in This thread - great thread with links to the camp's maps - showing where each type of unit is located, and with pictures of specific units. Follow the easy links on page 1 of the thread...

Shot Bushbuddies, sort of forgot about that thread...

hi,

does any one knows the room numbers of BD3U units in lower sabie?
these does not show on the camps map...


thanks in advance !!

I know of 19, 20, 21 & 22

On the map of the camp, they are No 3 - 22.

Homer.s, I can see why the map on the website might be confusing........they are indicated as BD2U, I've reported that.

But we have stayed in more than one of them and it's definitely 3-22.

Have a look here for photos of the accommodations.

Some game viewers in the park feel that in order to see lots of good sightings you must cover as much distance as possible.
This i feel is no the right way to go about a relaxing holiday.
The best way to relax and enjoy the park is to move at the same speed as the park.

On a few occations that we have spent time at lower Sabie we generally have a debate as to what routes we should do on our afternoon drive.
At the end of the day you dont feel like dealing with long distance and having to rush your sightings in order to make it back to the gate in time.

So we have a tradition at lower sabie when it comes to our afternoon drives.
We drive on the main road (towards skukuza) and find a nice open area where we can see the opposite bank and the river bed below.
This area provides a nice vantage point as the road gives you that extra height.
This area during the magic hour(1hr before gates close) you have the best sightings in the park.
One evening we saw 4 of the big 5 and wild dog in the space of 45min. Elephant, Lion and leopard(male) on the far bank and leopard & wilddog crossing the road close to us.

It is a fantastic way to spend your afternoon drives and letting nature come to you.

Morning

Stickman 360, i am definately going to try that. Sounds like a great plan. I agree that at the end of the day one does not feel like chasing after animals hoping to see the big 5.

Another really cool way to spend a bit of time which doesn't involve driving long distances is a visit to sunset dam.
Another perfect location where one can relax and let nature come to you.
There is always something interesting happening around the edge of the dam.

I have booked a BD2U bungalow at LS -can anyone tell me which numbers they are on the map? Also which is closest to the river? I have looked at the accomodation thread and see only 84 shown

Hi Pamelajane

The BD2U's have all the same view on the river - and a fantastic view too . We have stayed in a BD3U a month ago, in nr 20. I think that the BD2U's start at approximately nr 23 or 25. If I remember correctly, the BD3U's come first and further down, eastwards, the BD2U's. I am not 100% sure. Phone reception and the friendly people there will confirm the numbers of the BD2U's.

The BD3U's and the BD2U's are great accommodation - enjoy

Many thanks Leanawel -I'll just relax then and wait to see which bungalow they give me We've
never stayed at LS so looking forward to it

LS is a wonderful camp and a good area for game as well - ENJOY
