Thank you very much!

I gather that it is not exactly my kind of place Apart from the peace and the bird hide (without birds, if I've got it right), there does not seem to be anything interesting, not even a table at the picnic site. As you have repeated...a lot...it's not the Kruger

[Peter Betts]

Kruger resembles Las Vegas in many parts and getting worse every month = Not my kind of place apart from a few hidden Gems I gravitate back to every trip mainly in the north . Mkuze 's only fault is that it is small >> we are self sufficientt so have our own tables etc . Incidently Mkuze has more Bird Species than Kruger and is a Mecca for Bird Watchers around the world. Camping in places in Kruger like Skukuza and Satara and crowded Berg en Dal (Bring your electric Drills) is an experience I would not recommend and certainly way below natural Mkuzi. Lower Sabie has to be the Worst Camp site anywhere in any Game reserve in Southern Africa by a Mile. Lion Sighting s in Kruger South of Olifants River often Resemble a Barcelona Bull Fight on a Sat Arvie. I would far rather camp in Mkuzi than Skukuza which I havent yet and I am 72 and camp yearly in Kruger since 1951. Use Charcoal Briquettes instaed of Indigenous Wood >> think destruction of Bird Habitats. We make our own Ice while camping in Kruger and Kgalagadi. We only shop outside Kruger to replenish on a long Trip. I once bought Wi Fi at a shop there as its very much more expensive than outside so Komatipoort , Hoedspruit and Phalaborwa are our Kruger Shops >> Mkuzi we would naturally take everything with >> Fresh Veg , Long Life Milk , Charcoal etc etc. The Picnic Sites at Mkuzi look Divine unlike Gold Reef City Picnic Spots like Afsaal and Nkhulu etc >> No Toilets >> just go in the Bush like we all do in Botswana
