Warm welcome to the forum teetotaler,
glad to see the forum has been keeping you entertained during the lock down.
Apart from a trip report of your own experiences over the years, have a read through the various topics listed in the Indexes of the forums and see if you can add to any of them with pics of just info etc.
Plus the Webcams are very popular and a wonderful way to enjoy the parks when we can't actually be there.

My name is Ahmed. I have just retired from a really hectic job! I live in Durban , and have been visiting various African game reserves since the late 1970s. Kruger is one of my favourites.
I've really enjoyed the Trip Reports of members (especially during the lockdown), and admire your commitment to the Forum.
With some guidance form experienced members, I too would like to share some of my experiences.
Welcome Teetotaler! There is so much info on the form, I am sure you will find something to enjoy!

Welcome back Ash! I (one of the few remaining 'old timers') think that I vaguely remember you, but you've obviously opened a new account with a new user name. Who were you way back then?
