Africa Wild

The Brown and PRWIN clans are still in Kruger.

leachy and I left after school on Friday...cruising to Kruger Gate!

I was not overly excited about entering there on a Friday afternoon...but for some strange reason it was quiet...even the road to Skuks!

Saw elephant twice, thrice if you include one in the river at the gate! And that's it!




We headed to the lapa to meet Lodric and get the keys and what not, and he informed us that we could use the facility that night too!

We helped him try and jump-start his game drive vehicle...unsuccessfully, and I got my first injury...multiple ant bites while kneeling under the truck to connect the cables...

Anyway, the bush-telegraph started and all eventually pitched for rehearsal that night..starting with the Clan...who arrived sharpish as BC was informed we could watch the Sharks rugby too!














Some shots of the lapa kitchen/living room annex...these donors don't mess around!











One of those fridges that makes ice!















And finally!!!!!!

I didn't see any microwaved chicken or potatoes at the meet!

They have stuff like that in Kruger??? Neva! Bet you went to a kitchen studio to take the photos.

Next time we shall all eat C&P, Flutts!

Imperial Toyota via leachy did us a fat favour here, indeed!

The lapa itself:












All very nice outside, but closer inspection revealed various awkward steps.....














And a sliding door...my nemeses! But my problem...





















The rhino figure is actually a sticker on the sliding door...quite a clever pic, IMO!

even a Bosch

right, nice the Rhino

seems to be magnificent

and you even gave water to the grass

Battling for signal in Satara and getting “exceeded login attempts or some @#%#”, but eventually got the forum virtual police to duck

Great meet guys

Leachy and RP did a wonderful job organizing the fancy venue I think we owe leachy a case of black label

I’m still in KNP for until Sunday, so will post my version on Monday next week.

Cool meeting some new people

Just one thing

I believe that some only went to their unit at around 3am and Skukuza staff are still looking for guys in green shirts

I had a serious case of flu yesterday

Have a few pics, but Hawkeyes was in control and there more pics of the gang of rats then of others, so I won’t post unless Gump and Sprocky agree. The teenagers are too old to be classed as rats.

RP sent me on a mission this morning that resulted in an escape from foreign territory as there was an Ace Ventura in a car watching me take pics but it could have interesting results

Lion sleeping outside camp, so going on patrol shortly

Hi Bushcraft . Post at will. Enjoy Kruger. I just got back from recovering a hi jacked truck, but 11 chainsaws gone. Truck now sporting a bullet hole.

Hey BC

Oops Gump...not nice!! Great to meet you and your lovely wife!!
