Hi Guys.

The Year is nearly over and that only means one thing. HOLIDAYS

. This holiday I am going all out. I have 3 trips scheduled and I cant wait to start.

My First trip is to the Kruger with my girlfriend. We will be leaving in the early hours of the morning of Sunday 02/12/2012. We will be at Lower Sabie for 2 nights and then Satara for 3 Nights.

2 Years ago, I was browsing this forum and I read a TR about the KTP. I then read more and more TRs and I fell in love. I went on my first KTP trip in Jan 2011 and then again in Jan 2012. My third trip is scheduled for 18/12/12 - 28/12/12. I am going with my brother and friends to show them the wonders of that paradise.

I am then going to KTP AGAIN from 13/01/13-18/01/13 with the same people I went with the first to times. (It has become a yearly custom :mrgreen:

)

So, the countdown has begun. 6 More sleeps till the beginning of the most amazing holiday I have ever had!

Also, as a side point, I saved up a lot of money this year and I bought myself a camera and 3 lenses. I have a Nikon D3100 with a 18-55mm, a 55-300mm and a sigma 150-500mm. This is the first time that I will be using my own camera on a trip so I am very excited.

Join me for pics and updates from this epic adventure

I hope that I do not disappoint.

Ari

I Just updated my signature

It seems as if we will not be staying at the same camps but we might bump into each other at a cheetah kill or something? :wink:

Sorry, I went MIA. Work you know :wall:

Welcome everyone else!

I went shopping yesterday and got all the food. It just makes it that much more real. It will be the first time that I am ever going to the park with a yellow ribbon so that will also be an interesting experience :mrgreen:

5 SLEEPS AND COUNTING :mrgreen:

Hi all

Last night here in the Kruger

It has been the most successful Kruger trip that I have been on with regards sightings. We truly have been so so lucky. I cannot wait to post pictures!

Satara night drive tonight. Hope our luck continues

Hi Everyone :mrgreen:

After a looonnggg 5 hour drive, I'm back from the Kruger

I can safely say that this trip was my best trip to the KNP that I have ever had (with regards sightings and just having fun).

I met a few mites and I saw some incredible stuff. I will start processing my images soon and get started on the TR and I will also start preparing for the KTP in 10 days time :mrgreen:
