Re: Kruger NP - October 2015

thiefbadger, Jan, ritad, hilda and Karin...thanks! We were thrilled to see the wild dogs. The dogs were actually walking (running) in the opposite direction of the line of cars so everybody kept on reversing. Being the last in line I decided to make a U-turn, drive for a couple of 100 meters and tha...

This time however there seemed to be more people at the picnic place than there was water in the dam. Right in front of the viewing place ab...

Re: Kruger NP - October 2015

Toddelelfe, Jan, Pumbaa, Tessa G, hilda and SurfCindy....you all make me blush! Thank you so much! We left the lion-vulture spot (which was just south of Tshokwane) and took the H10. We felt totally chuffed with what we had seen and I told my mum we would "recover" from the excitement whil...
