Re: Back to KRUGER...... at last!!
We are back home after a good trip with a park that is green with lots of water everywhere, the bush is thick and beautiful, which makes it very difficult to see animals but I tried my best
First I will rate the camps we stayed in, as this was the first time we stayed in huts and not camping, our huts where BG2's at Olifants and Shingwedzi and an upgrade to a BD2 at Letaba(that was nice of then
)
Olifants Camp - 18 and 19 February 2021:
5/10 - Cons: very small and we had a sewage problem
outside light switch not working
fan not working properly
most expensive of the 3 camps
fridge not working properly and some rack missing (I did report all these things to reception)
Pros: very friendly service all over
awesome view
Shingwedzi Camp - 20 to 24 February 2021:
12/10 - Cons: none, everything worked well
Pros: very friendly service
very big and comfy hut
had all the cutlery and a kettle
cheapest of the 3
just an awesome camp and area
Letaba Camp - 25 and 26 February 2021:
9/10 - Cons: in the first unit they gave us the aircon was faulty and no roof fan
lots of contractors working all over, noisy
gardens not so nice but they where working on it
lots of gravel roads still closed, the other camps had only 2 or so roads still closed
on our last night there was a not so nice incident where monkeys stole sweets from a hut, a neighbor next door immediately accused these people of feeding the animals without finding out what really happened
.....good for her it wasn't me she accused........
Pros: upgraded us, changed our unit that was faulty with no fuss
very good view
sightings not too bad
To sum it up not a bad experience
but not as nice as camping
Next I will start the real TR
