    You guys had a terrific time, thanks for the lovely memories, made my day .We were there for parts of December 2023 - January 2024. Very special to be in the Kruger itself, doesn't get better hey! Little tent, fantastic. We saw the biggest elephant I think in the whole park, biggest I've ever seen. I will never forget him. Marching down the middle of the road towards us just before sunset from at least a kilometer away, just kept coming getting bigger and bigger. We just sat and sat waiting till those ears came up and he tossed his mighty head around like he was going to charge, making himself as big as possible he trumpeted screaming loudly then turned off. Looked he was floating across that grass till he vanished. Heading to water I think and in a hurry. Even at a safe distance that thing was huge. Was so hot hot hot, right.

    Great video Richard. It must have been hot camping in your tent? We always caravaned in winter. Loved the music. Not loud thumping like some idiots and also when you spoke none at all, which is how it should be. Man but you guys saw lions. Yes Satara is definitely the camp for lions, especially S100. We haven't been since 2018 after many years of going there. Retired now. Hope you youngsters have many more years of going there.

    • @RichardvanHaght
      @RichardvanHaght  3 месяца назад

      Hi Neil thank you for the kind comment! Yes it was hot camping with the dome tent but evening temperatures were cool and pleasant, so we tried to avoid the campsite as much as possible during the day. Especially during the summer months! We were very lucky with the lions I’ve been to Satara before where I’ve had only distant visuals… You are right the S100 is definitely the place for lions in that area! They seem to love the N’wanetsi River that meanders next to the road! I hope you get back to Satara soon, it’s definitely one of the most special places in the Kruger. There are many special memories from visits to the camp over the years. Again thank you for the comment Neil, I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Nice to meet you!

      Great time to go. Cooler and much less bush = more animal sightings

      Yes it is very nice when the temperatures are lower the animals stay active for longer!
