Dear mites,

I have just returned from a trip to Kruger and we ( Vlakvarkvrou and I) did a trip in December 2012. We will tell you more about the 2 holidays! Both started up North. In December we entered at Pafuri and now (due to the floods) I entered at Punda. I exited in December at Croc Bridge and now at Phabeni (though I drove up to Croc bridge gate..

Enjoy the ride, for we had the most amazing sightings in these 2 trips!! ... and I thought it is too good not too share with you!! We will also compare areas before and after the floods...

See you soon! :thumbs_up:

Hi to all the readers :gflower:

Here we go again! And I said no trip reports anymore. This afternoon I went to a friend to have a look at the photos of her recent visit to the KNP. The next moment she told me she started a trip report and it is my turn to post!!!

Well here I am and sorting photos of our trip from Pafuri to Crocodile Bridge. On 21 December 2012 we left Pretoria at 1.00 and arrived at Pafuri quite early. The Gate Guards opened the gates for us and after book-inn and a coffee, we entered the Park on our way to Croc Bridge just after 7.00 am.

Mads and official at the Pafuri Gate

Then we make way for these 2 cuties

And we stop for this (this is just a glimpse – Mads will post the real pics)
