Not the yacht club...

But at the Waterfront in Richards Bay.

Internet reception...

Is very poor here, should improve when we move!

Berg-en-Dal...

Goodbye, till next time...

Overall rating 7 out of  10.

Completely safe, even for solo female travellers, two of my girlfriends have been to Kruger on their own and I met MandyM from the forum, she comes to Kruger twice a year from Spain, by herself. We had no problems with safety and security at all.

Don't forget to get your wild card. http://www.sanparks.org/wild_new/

And if you're camping and have a solid groundsheet, it's worth taking along, there is not a blade of grass. Total number of birds seen so far 194.

Oasis...

Water really is my favourite drink and I'm always pleased to find an Oasis. The water in Kruger sometimes ran brown, if they were working on the pipes, I like mine crystal clear thanks :-) And only R 5 to refill a 5 litre bottle, a rand a litre, can't go wrong! Hope you find one near you. http://www.oasiswater.co.za/

Impala Butchery...

This is Alta McSeveney, we always enjoyed a pleasant chat when we went to the butchery in Malelane, here you see her baking boerebeskuit (rusks).

Sweet Sunday...

Camp fudge, looks delicious, hey?

(Turned out a bit sugary)

Claire's taps...

These are all mine :-)

Spar Malelane...

We shopped once a week at the Spar in Malelane and we always

made time for coffee at the Diner, P liked the chips as well.

Biyamati Weir 2...

Looking back the other way, just for good measure we went over three times :-)

Hamerkop...

It didn't seem to bother the Hamerkop at all :-)

Biyamati Weir 1...

This is the Biyamati Weir, I was a little nervous when we decided to go across, it's not like you can walk it first to do a risk assessment.

More Giraffes...

The wrong side, hope you got out of bed on the right side, this Monday :-)

Tree Sunday...

Hope you are having a super weekend :-)

Tortoise...

They only speed up when you take the camera out :-)

Das Rollende Hotel...

Guess who rolled into town? Yes, Das Rollende Hotel, everyone helps to prepare supper and they seem to have a lot of fun even if they do come all this way to eat sauerkraut :-)

Skukuza Golf Club...

We were pleased to find that visitors are welcome at the Skukuza Golf Club, so we went there recently after stopping at the Lake Panic Hide. We had a very pleasant lunch.



Lake Panic...

One of my favourite places on earth. I can sit in the hide for ages.

Baboon Damage...

This is not our caravan, but Pierre ran to chase away the baboon. He was operating on his own, went into the caravan through the skirt and out with a loaf of bread. They do a lot of damage and one should always drop the pop-top of your caravan if either monkeys or baboons are around, it's just not worth taking a chance. Shame it was their first time in the Kruger National Park.

Rhino walk...

We do the Rhino Walk as often as we can, this is the dam we sometimes see the hippo in, but we always see the Water Thick-knee (old Water Dikkop). Wishing you a rip-roaring week :-)

Snake Sunday...

Can you see the snake? I nearly stepped on it before it decided to climb the tree... (In line with the tap). This was taken at the Malelane Satellite Camp.

Nature...

Always a treat to be able to enjoy Kruger.

Another Elephant...

Nice and close now, the weekend :-)

Ducks...

There you go, the whole family :-)

White-faced Whistling Ducks...

A whole family, I kid you not, can you see them? Dead centre.

Buck...

A little buck came down to drink at the Afsaal picnic site.

More Elephants...

This Elephant was at the Afsaal picnic site ~ nice and close, hope your Monday is not so scary :-)

Sunday Squirrels...

We can watch the antics of these little squirrels all day :-)

Caesar Salad...

The salad, from Hamilton's ~ delicious.

Hamiltons...

A really nice restaurant, just before the Crocodile River and before the Malelane Gate into KNP, on the RHS. I recommend you give it a try, if you're nearby, you won't be disappointed. Four out of five stars.
