Ja, nana! Ironically the tar road swings South to PK's entrance. A quiet shortcut to the camp is to take the first dirt road right, coming from Numbi, and then left at the first intersection! \O

Fayi Loop is our favourite ^Q^ ^Q^ ^Q^ , when visiting Pretoriuskop we do the Fayi Loop twice a day, early morning then again as late as we can. Driving along the loops in the Pretoriuskop area just gives us the feeling that we are the only ones around. Love the photograph O0

I haven't stayed at Pretoriuskop since I was child, and we only took one afternoon drive there during our 2012 trip. All we saw of note was this Longcrested Eagle on one of the loops.

I've always said I don't like the bushveld around Pretoriuskop and wouldn't want to spend much time there, but we'll be staying there for two nights next week!! :-? -O I have to say the pics others have posted here do give me hope!! \O
