Yes, now strongly considering changing the two camp days if we can get an alternative booking as I think that even if that's all we manage to change and we can get into a bungalow for both those nights it may avert the additional stress. I will check out Mopani.
Cheers Trail.
You know TR , for a relative newby in KNP , it is always good to suss out all the places , having a lot of overnight stays in different camps , and in time you find the ones that you really enjoy , and would like to return to time after time . This is all very good and well , but also means a lot of driving around looking for animals to see , getting to know areas which are good for certain sightings , etc .
Under such circumstances , you may find that you do not SEE very much , do not SEE all the BIG five , and then , the more you drive finding NOTHING , the more anxious and frustrated you become , and you become totally p...ed off with the whole caboodle , and you start looking forward to the end , and wanting to go home .
So , what I'm saying is , when considering alternative places to stay , maybe you should consider staying in fewer places longer . In that way you get to know the surrounding areas better , become more relaxed , and so on . For instance , if I was you , and I do not wish to take up the Tsendze stays , I would rather say remain in Letaba for another two days . It really is a lovely camp , lots of atmosphere ( more than Mopani ) , lots of game around , etc etc .
You know , you are on holiday , and you should enjoy it . Kruger will show you what Kruger wants to , at its own pace
But you must allow it to get under your skin slowly .
