Kruger Park Safari with Amanda and Faye from the 21st to the 23rd June 2011

We picked up Amanda and Faye from there guest house in Kempton Park and transferred them to Nelspruit were we changed into one of our open vehicles and traveled to the Numbi gate of the Kruger National Park. After check in procedures, and a discussion on safety while game viewing on the open safari vehicle, it was off to the camp of Pretoriuskop to check into the accommodation and have some time for lunch prior to leaving on there first game drive.


We left camp at 15h30 and made our way down the Napi road were we got to see good sightings of rhino, elephant and buffalo. Upon returning back to camp, it was time to enjoy a good dinner and then it was off to bed for a good nights rest, before leaving on the full days game drive.


the following morning, it was up early, and after enjoying tea and coffee we were off out of the camp looking for what there was to see. The day was spent around the park and driving down by the Sabie River. Good sightings of rhino lion, buffalo, elephant, impala and many other species was seen. We returned late in the afternoon to the camp.
After a rest it was time to have an early dinner as Amanda and Faye were going out on a night safari that left the camp at 19h00 and returned at 21h00. Lots was seen on the drive, but with regret no cats were encountered on the night drive.


The following morning, it was time to get up early again and after enjoying tea and coffee it was time to leave camp for the final game drive before enjoying breakfast and then leaving the park for the final drive back to Johannesburg.


While on the final morning drive, few animals were encountered due to the cold weather that the park was experiencing, so it was decided to go in for an early breakfast. 
After breakfast we took a further drive on route to the gate were we found buffalo, rhino and lots of giraffe. 


We left the park at around 11h00, and made our way to Nelspruit were we changed into our closed vehicle and made our way back to Johannesburg were the guests were dropped off at the City Lodge (Airport) in Johannesburg.

Feedback from the guests was that they had a good time, and would be returning next year over the Easter period for another safari to the Kruger National Park.
