Six different dialects, old people struggling with sticks, children running amok, a bus that was stuck between two parked cars, it’s Dutch passengers hugely unimpressed. 0= :no:

So this was what Kruger was all about, then we made our way to the deck. :-?

We had been up since 3:30 after a fairly heavy night and drive from Cape Town, I needed coffee and breakfast, so that’s what we did.

Now it certainly wasn't our intention to come to Kruger and sit in a glorified coffee shop, but the staff were friendly, the much needed coffee very good and then there was the deck \O \O \O

I went from fairly frazzled from the journey, lack of sleep and mornings events, to refreshed and overwhelmed within about twenty minutes. Although the restaurant and deck was busy, we somehow could shut out the world and just admire the view. :yes:

So this felt more like it. Even the Elly crossing the Sabie upstream seemed chilled out. We watched them for over hour before plucking up the courage to go and confront our checking in experience for our 1st night. O:V O:V O:V

I realized why the Safari tents at Lower Sabie were such a popular accommodation option, they may have become a bit tatty but the views were absolutely stunning and you really did feel that you were as close to the bush as you could get.

The only problem was that we were now filled with expectations of spectacular sightings around every corner. This was Lower Sabie with the reputation for great sightings and whilst we contemplated our last evening we quietly hoped that things would get better.

We enjoyed the final twilight from our safari tent balcony and realized that just being where we were was already a privilege in itself.

I had the chance to witness a hunt today, from Lower Sabie's deck where we had a lunch, one hour before leaving the park, That was really fabulous. Here is one picture of a series.
