Love those cars!

One of many, many braais in Kruger.

My dad very seldom wore a shirt in the old days in Kruger, but for some reason he decided that a denim Stetson was the right thing to wear!!

Another nice tusker, seen in the Tshokwane area.

Boerie rolls at the old Satara Day Visitor’s area.

These lions killed a buff right outside the Lower Sabie gate during the night which caused mayhem as no-one could get out of the camp in the morning. Rangers eventually managed to get a chain around the carcass and dragged it back to the main road.

My cousin and my brother doing the drying. My cousin then went on to become a game ranger and was one of the head game rangers in Natal until he moved to New Zealand a number of years ago.

That’s definitely a Kruger frying pan...only the best!!

Fantastic , old photos once again Flutterby. Just love seeing the old cars and dress style. Only one thing has not changed.

Please keep them coming.

Absolutely stunning, Flutts!!!!!!

I remember it was December and boiling hot (we never went in December again), and my dad had taken a 6-pack of beer for the whole trip - they lasted the first day!!

This problem remains amongst certain tourists to this day! $0*\$ In fact, nothing has changed! That Tshokwane tusker may be Tshokwane? aat may have a look?

Kombis Rule!!!

Thanks STF, RP & ExFmem!! $\O$

RP, I have sent that tusker to Aat, but he never came back with an ID.

Lots of lovely lions!

A decent-sized tusker.

I was going to say that it looked like people were better-behaved in the old days and gave the animals more space, but I can remember some horrific traffic jams!

A monitor lizard.

A champagne breakfast when it was still allowed.

Is this a young Bateleur?

Can’t have a braai without the Mainstay! -O
