As a book addict, that website is dangerous!

In fact, am waiting for them to contact me re shipping charges to the UK.

Rinkhals were the only snake that was really a problem while growing up in Dullstroom. They often were found in the yard and I lost one of my Springer Spaniels to one. They are not a true spitting snake like the Mozambique Spitting Cobra. The Rinkhals "spit" in a flinging motion. The venom...

Ended staying 5 nights in hut 30 in Pretoriuskop.

For me as a single visitor it was perfect.

A place to braai and sleep after a shower in the need ablution facilities.

Out at the gates at 5:30 and back at 17:58

I will definitely book here again.

Superb book.

I have two hard copies and a soft copy on my Ipad kindle app.

Bruce had the gift to immediately transfer me from anywhere in the world right there into the park with him.

Just the adventures he had with animals around the house was amazing.

Definitely worth every cent.

Every sighting is special...

But the top of my list of animals to find is the Sable and Eland.

Interesting that nobody mentioned a black backed jackal or side striped jackal...

I took my Sigma 150-600 Sport to Kruger in July and I absolutely loved it.

I enjoyed using this lens as it gives me so much range to work with.

Cant wait for the next trip late October.
