It was quoted in a book that the power lines crossing Kruger have no real impact on the park!!
It could be seen as a mere aesthetics setback.
Yet when looking closely, a whole strip of natural bush was destroyed, to accommodate that power line!!
When going to Kruger I am led to believe that I will be free in the bush,
a wonderful experience!,.. sounds good enough, yet when I travel through the park
I see for endless kilo meters little piles of wood collected, packed at the kerb for collection.
My idea of travel through Kruger always seemed to be a face to face scenario of untouched
natural beauty!!
I guess the integrity value of Kruger has gone and was set aside for a more practical state!!
Heh,.. H.e
