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. 8)
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!

Hello everyone,
My name is Nina Bayer and I am a widow of two years.
I now live in Scotland but I lived in S.A.for just over 30 years.
I have lived in Springs,Joburg,Durban,Umzinto and the Free State so all over really and loved every minute..
We only came back to Europe as my husband was transferred back to Switzerland for his job..
I intend to make my last trip back to S.A. In March 2021 mainly to see friends and my last ever trip to Kruger..
I wàs last in S.A. Over ten years ago so I expect a lot of changes will have happened so I hope all you great people on here will put me right...
Thank you for letting me join and I hope to be an active member...

Hi all,
I'm a newbie here. Hopefully visiting Kruger from the UK in Feb 2021 (booked last Feb before all the lockdowns). I don't know how likely it is to go ahead now, but the itinerary is: 5 nights lower sabie , 4 nights Letaba, 10 nights Mopani (big elephant fan) 2 nights lower sabie. flying in and out of Skukuza if the Airlink flights are still running in Feb....

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? :hmz:

All cancelled unfortunately :(
Still, credit is on account and hoping to book the exact same itinerary for February 2022. Such a long time to wait.....
