Mata Mata, Big Cats, Chalet Visitor and Adventure filled Night Drive! Oct23 SA S2 Ep 5
Finally! After 4 Years we are back in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, we continue our visit at Mata Mata Riverside Chalets
After 4 years we are back in the Kgalagadi, in this episode we continue our stay in Mata Mata and spend a further two nights enjoying the peace and quiet of this lovely part of the world.
Although we had found the area surrounding Mata Mata to be very quiet in terms of game and big cats, we were rewarded in this episode with 3 lion sightings (all the same pride) as well as a great sighting of the ever-elusive Bat Earned Foxes and African Wildcat. There is nowhere else quite like the Kalahari and it certainly helps you unwind from stressful jobs and life.

Our trip from Nossob to Mata Mata was relatively quiet, very hot and windy and not many sightings. We were staying at the Riverside Chalets for 4 nights so we settled in and enjoyed the peace and quiet. The next two days were all about the little creatures and enjoying the tranquillity that is the Kalahari. You can book your accommodation at www.sanparks.org and we used www.kalahari4x4hire.co.z...

South Africa Bushlore 4x4 Review 2022

The main part of our Overlanding questions revolve around which vehicle to get. Our hearts were set on a Land Cruiser but our budget is not. One of the main questions on this holiday was whether we should bite the bullet and get a Land Cruiser or a Toyota Hilux. While the Land Cruiser won us over for shear practicability, it was very, very thirsty and our main outlay on this holiday was diesel....

As the end of our trip draws closer, we drive from Satara to Lower Sabie via the S37 and Tshokwane Picnic Site. We encounter a lovely Honey Badger, and another herd of elephants in a hide. Lower Sabie's tented accommodation gives us a special elephant sighting before we make our last game drive of the holiday. Kruger gives us a parting gift of a couple of mating leopards before we have to drive...
Fantastic Drive from Balule to Satara, Episode 9
Просмотров 1,9 тыс.Год назад
We had a fantastic drive from Balule to Satara camp, seeing lion, wild dog elephant, ground hornbills and a bunch of plains game along with four Marabou storks fishing in a puddle in a dried up riverbed. We decided on our drive down to see if we could get a chalet at Satara and not camp there for the night. It was a good decision, and we enjoyed the air conditioning. We did miss not camping but...

After our lovely stay at Letaba, we made our way to Balule camp, stopping to book in at Olifants and to take the opportunity to take in the stunning view from the deck. This area is a special place to us as we got engaged here many years ago. We had hoped to get something to eat at the restaurant but discovered that it was under renovation, so we had a drink and took a leisurely drive to Balule...

Просмотров 7 тыс.Год назад
We spent 2 nights camping at Letaba, it was lovely to settle in one place for longer than a night and to have the time to rest in camp in the heat of the day, and oh boy, was it hot! The restaurant and elephant hall at Letaba are great additions to the camp and sitting outside on the deck overlooking the river was a lovely way to spend some time. The game viewing at Letaba was a little hit and ...
Peaceful Tsendze and the call of the hornbill Episode 6 of our Kruger Adventure (September 2022)

In this episode we spend a little time at Mooiplaas waterhole with a very sleepy elephant and enjoy the afternoon at Tsendze camp watching the antics of the resident birds and tree squirrels. Tsendze is the only rustic campsite in Kruger and this was our first visit. We will definitely be back to stay in this delightful camp. I found that getting up to visit the toilet in the middle of the nigh...

In this episode we have a fantastic sighting of elephants at Grootvlei Dam and stay overnight at Shipandani Hide in Kruger National Park. We have wanted to do this for such a long time and to finally get the opportunity to stay overnight at a hide was a bucket list tick for us. No camping for us this time but still adding to our overlanding experiment. Booking the hides can be a little tricky a...

We drove from Punda Maria in the north of Kruger to our next night's accommodation, camping in Shingwedzi. The drive down was eventful with so many amazing sightings, one of which was a bucket list for me. Camping in Shingwedzi was so enjoyable, even though we were not on the fence line. The camp is peaceful, and we had a tranquil afternoon sitting outside and enjoying the warmth of the sun aft...

We continue our journey of discovery. Nights 5 and 6 in a rooftop tent taught us how to cope with rain and miserable weather, sheltering under the tent overhang and eating a cold supper. I nearly fell off the ladder, luckily not caught on tape, and we discovered that the inside of a wet tent keeps relatively dry when packed up. This was our first visit to the north of Kruger and we enjoyed the ...

We continue our journey of discovery. Our third and fourth nights in a rooftop tent taught us how to cope with heat and no air .... open the windows and let the bugs in! It's better to be bitten (we were on Malaria medication) than struggle to sleep. We only had one full day in this magical park, and it really was not enough. We will definitely be back to visit Mazhou camp and Mapungubwe even t...
