Simon Shee to Camps and Roads of Kruger
48 mins ·
There was a bad accident at Mopani Camp this morning. A group of young trainee guides were on the wooden walkway taking selfies when the platform gave way and they dropped four metres onto rocks. There were about 10 people injured, some seriously. Three helicopters landed at the camp and two were used to ferry the badly injured to hospital. Great work by the medics. I hope that the injured make a full recovery.
