After just over 3 years of no KNP at last we visited this beautiful place again O/\ O/\

The 16th September we entered at Malelane at 6:35 and drove all the way to Phalaborwa gate :shock: , it was a long drive but oh my goodness what a awesome drive..... 0() 0()

The 17th we just chilled and went for lunch at the Phalaborwa Wimpy \O

The 18th we took the H14 to wards Mopani and came back via Letaba where we had lunch :-) , wonderful day \O

The 19th I went alone and drove the same route as on the 18th with lots of great sightings O\/

I have sorted my photos and there are 89 to post O:V

We had plenty of time, arrived at the gate 15:20 \O , by 11:10 we had already seen the big 5 and we spend good time at the sightings O/\ , you must remember that there are long stretches if road with no animals, so my acerage speed was 38km/h O**

Day 1: 16 Sept:

We arrived at Malelane gate at about 6:25 from Nelspruit, there was a long queue at the reception but we didn't wait long \O , our car was searched at the gate and the security man almost confiscated my beer :shock: but let me keep it when I showed him it was alcohol free ;-) .

At 6:45 we entered the park and started our long journey to Phalaborwa gate ;-)
