Hi Guru,
I will be in the park from 3 Oct 10.
What is the status of the road between Samevloeiing and Kij Kij?
This June my son drove up 10kms or so past Samevloeing, I'm not sure but I think as far as Leeuwdril.
Also, when last has leopard been spotted in the Samevloeing surrounds?

TonyT preceded me, but I am only coming in the middle of december As far as I remember the road was supposed to open in december, but..........?

was already supposed to open in Septembre 2009
It's a good question

thanks Guru to give us an update.. time to time

Dear All,

The road to Nossob Camp is only closed from Leeudril to Kij Kij. They are currently upgrading the road (re-surfacing). It might be a bit of a hassle at the moment due to it limits game drives on that stretch but it will be worth the while. I have been out to check the work going on and it looks great it will make travelling so much less bumpy (if everybody just keep to the speed limit), and NO its not where the animals are hiding, I have travelled that road a few times now and have seen general game but not the illusive predators.

I will try and find out when the road will be opening again. Just please bare in mind that with the extreme weather conditions it does make working on the road a bit difficult. Then we are expecting some rain again soon and that will also have an effect on the progress of the road, I have been on that road and the contractors are working as fast as they can. The road when its finnished will be to the advantage of the tourists and add to more comfortable driving.

The leopard at samevloeing have been spotted on a regular basis (2 days ago).
Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot Guru for update. When you know the opening date for the road would you please communicate it

Micetta,

When I do know I will keep that information ALL to myself............

Just joking as soon as I have a answer for you on the proposed opening of the road I will indeed post it immediately.

Sooner or later someone will find out anyway!! sooner would be the better

Thanks K Guru for the info and for giving of your time to field our questions.

thanks Guru... I crossed the fingers... open for febr....oups... december

A-M

How is skiddy corner looking now KG?

Thanx for the update Jannie!

The leopard seen at Samevloeiing - I take it that this is the Twee Rivieren female? If so, any news on her surviving cub?(should be about 10 months old now)

TR to Kij Kij road - Will the contractors be stopping work and breaking up for the December holidays? If so, is there a possibility that this road will be temporarily opened for the holiday period? This would take some pressure off the existing roads during the busy period. I suppose it also depends on whether the road upgrade is up to such a stage that usage will not have too much of an impact on the work that has already been done on this road.
