Africa Wild

Guys good news to report back is that the fire was quickly contained on that evening. We actually stayed there from Tues to Fri last week (after having stayed in Imfolozi for the previous 3 nights) and had some incredible sightings. The male elephant (Julius) mock charged us whilst walking towards ...

Yeah I downloaded the entire document and the plan itself is very comprehensive. Detailed lists of all developments and maintenance scheduled over the next 5 years, really down to the finest detail! I am very skeptical though that they will accomplish more than 20% in the next 5 years. But even that ...

Are all of these approved, or are they simply proposals at this point? I really doubt they would manage to accomplish more than 20% of the items on that list in the next four years!

Absolutely...

but if we had to follow every bit of doctor's advice to the tee we'd never leave the house ...

Thanks for the advice guys. Unfortunately for us, we live in Durban so Pilanesburg is quite a drive for us. There is also Umfolozi and Mkhuze, which are both in lower risk areas than Kruger which are options for us. My opinion with doctors is that they will always offer you the "safest" advice in ...

Hi everyone Forgive me if this topic has already been discussed somewhere else on the forum, but I searched and couldn't find anything,. so I thought I'd create it... We have a 2 month baby and I'd like to know what everyone's experience is taking babies to Kruger (and other parks for that matter ...

I have had the privilege to have stayed at Mantuma 3 times in the last year. The communal rest huts offer the best value-for-money accommodation of any park in the country I believe and the fact that there are no fences makes for a wonderful (if a tad hair-raising when going to the bathroom ...
