Lots of dusty zebras!

Yeah we have always been lucky on this road. The dust will just get worse I suppose

I love watching elephants but from far away

Zebra and wildebeest theoretically migrate a bit on the eastern boundary of the Central section, going down from Satara to Mlondozi/Lower Sabie for the winter!


Lions at every waterhole is a sign of drought, and that's going to carry on till October in those areas, methinks!

I feel sorry for them if they migrate down to Lower sabie because there's less food at the moment, or not

Maybe later than October this year

They go down for the water, over the years..Sabie River! But ja, it's going to be a mess!

It was getting hotter......................................



We had about 30km to go and I heard a ping from the dashboard with a light coming on. I looked at SO and asked her what that light means as it is her car

She got the book out and started checking


It's the tyre pressure warning light

I slowed down and checked my side while SO checked her side but all looked ok. I told her I'm not getting out to change a tyre.

I then drove the speed limit all the way to Skukuza without stopping for anything

Arrived at reception, got the number I have requested. (well done SP)

We stayed in bungalow 210


RobertT stayed next to us in number 211


Our braai



There are only 3 bungalows on the right hand side and 2 bungalows which are split into 2 units each on the left hand side



Bungalow 212 were right next to the lapa. Funny enough Leachy and RP stopped there about 30 minutes after we have unpacked and were very surprised to see a guy walking up to them with an AW t-shirt on



The little aliens helped them unpack and we started drinking tea

I like these little bungalows

the only inconvenient is the... Monkeys and Boons

40° is a normal temperature

Nan they have moved the fridge to the inside now, it's not outside anymore attracting the monkeys and baboons

better like that

Last time we had one of those bungalows, you had to put the electric kettle in the sink in order to reach the outlet, there were nowhere in the bathroom where to hang the towels and nowhere to hang the clothes, but apart from that it was OK
