So, the bookings are all made, the bags are packed and the plane leaves Friday night.
Hopefully we wont have the 24 hour delay of last year....

16 days in the park, our longest stint up til now, 16 days of adventure and excitement!

A new notebook and pen lies waiting in my rucksack together with a camera, hopefully we will be able to bring back wonderful tales of our time in Kruger

Thanks so much for the kind wishes everyone :gflower:

Last year snow delayed us by a whole day and made us miss our own welcome back braai which really sucked, as there is talk of snow again on Friday I am starting to get nervous about history repeating itself

One way or another we will get there though and first have 4 days in luxury just outside Kruger followed by a leisurely drive up to Satara for 4 nights on a perimeter bungalow. We then move down to L.Sabie for 4 nights in a river view safari tent and will round off our adventures at Biyamiti for a further 4 nights.

Last year was the year of the cheetah on our roof, going to be hard to top that but I bet we can come up with something

So save us some sunshine and see ya on Saturday my beloved SA :dance:

So I am sitting on the deck of our river view safari tent at L Sabie, I just watched the sun go down with a glass of Amarula in one hand and a thick rump steak on the braai. The hippos are chatting away to each other and there were a pair of fish eagles hunting in front of us. Can it really get any better than this??

Did you have some good sightings while driving around the Satara area? Or perhaps from your bungalow?

Yes, the first 500m down the S100 we saw a leopard with 2 cubs crossing :dance:

unfortunately too quick for photos....
However..... we came across another one with a baby this morning and managed to get plenty of photos of them crossing a stream - magical
