Hey Andre. Just found ur TR.hope ur having a blast!

Sounds wonderful already AndreaB! Looking forward to your trip report!

Great to see that you arrived safely and already enjoying the bush . Can't wait for the report and pic's .

Looking forward to reading your TR. Sounds so exciting already.

Back at LS for a break. A buffalo is having a fat snooze in the river opposite our tent lucky thing, it is very hot at the moment, we have had up to 41degrees so not too many sightings today. Will head up to Tshokwane later for some more of their lekker carrot cake! Remind me to tell you about my VERY close encounter with a honey badger....


P.S Nkulu kitchen is closed for renovations in case anyone was thinking of stopping off there

ready and waiting!

AndreaB, you seem to specialise in very close encounters.

Looking forward to more.

@ M Mouse - we sure do... had another one with a black mamba yesterday, scary critters!!

Looking forward to what you experienced with the Honey Badger AndreaB!

It sounds like you had a scary moment Andrea can't wait to hear about it

As long it's not a "Close Encounter" of the Third kind

Well, that went quick!

As you can gather from my intermittent blogging we made it safely and on time to SA despite a heavy snow storm in Frankfurt that threatened to cancel our flight

Everything went like clockwork through the horror that is otherwise known as passport control and within the hour we were on our way for a flying visit to good friends for a catch up and the odd drink or two...

Sunday morning we headed off towards Croc. Bridge to stay in M.Park for a couple of days just stopping off in Malelane to stock up on a few basics incl. the odd bottle of Amarula (you know we never touch the stuff anywhere else other than Kruger and even my teetotaller hubby has a dop with me )

We had planned having a few days of sun around the pool but how can you look across the Croc. River and watch the animals coming down to drink without actually going in yourself, so next day we packed our cameras and set off with great expectations!!

I was curious to see how the increased security would look so I was a little disappointed when I saw only one chap standing at the gate at CB and no packs of slavering German Shepherds armed with AK's.... We were waved through and immediately set off down the S28 heading up for L.Sabie









It was already quite late and very warm so most of the animals had sought the shade but we did manage to find a few brave souls..

I would love to know what this croc was grinning about

Andrea, time does go quickly at times, doesn't it

Love your water monitor picture they really do look prehistoric. Looking forward to more.

Andrea,

Wonderful start with great pics All. ...Sweet little Zebra.

Gorgeous reflection of the water monitor.
