BT on the trail of the mythical Pangolin

It's almost time to head off to paradise again, our first long visit to the Park and our first trip north of Skukuza since November 2012. We had a few short long weekends in the KNP last year where we stayed in accommodation outside the Park but that wasn't enough of a Kruger Fix for us so we are suffering from KNP deprivation and are both really looking forward to this getaway. Our long trip last year was an awesome 2 weeks spent in the Kgalagadi.
Our itinerary for this visit :-
May 17, Olifants
18-21, Tzendze
22-25, Shingwedzi
26-29, Balule
30, Lower Sabie
The first and last nights are in huts and the rest is camping.
We've been going to the Kruger regularly since 1987 and have seen so many amazing things that we have the philosophy that we'll see what we see and having a wishlist is a pointless waste of time, mainly because we never see what's on our wishlist!.
Having said that, I'd be thrilled to see any of the three larger mammals that have eluded us over the years, namely : Bushpig, Aardvark and Pangolin.
Looking at the "Who's in the KNP when" topic I seem to be the only Wildie in the northern Park for the two weeks - I think there's some overlap with STF who's in Touron country.
Any phantom visitors should keep a lookout for the BluTuna (a dark blue Fortuner) flying a green ribbon - my other ribbon was dishonourably discharged into the dustbin after the Aat debacle.

Thanks Flutts!
