Dean picked up our clients at OR Tambo International airport and then headed for the Kruger National Park going through Numbi Gate. We stopped off at Pretoriuskop Camp for some lunch before heading out to see what the afternoon had to bring.   Sightings for the day were five sightings of elephant, kudu, impala, zebra, buffalo near the Napi trails camp, wild dog on the Napi boulders road and rhino. We then headed to the Camp of Nkambeni for the night.

21st January – Route: Nkambeni - Napi - Transport Dam
After  a  good breakfast we headed out to see what we could find. Sightings for the morning were   elephant, impala, buffalo and rhino. We then made a stop at Pretoriuskop Camp for a little break to freshen up before we headed out to Napi and shithave Dam where we saw waterbuck and a lot of bird species. We then slowly made our way to Numbi Gate as some of the clients were leaving us.
After lunch  we took a drive down Shabeni link to Albasini and back as well as doing shabeni loop, all we found were baboon, waterbuck, impala and kudu.

22nd January – Route: Nkambeni – Albasini – doispane - Paul Kruger Gate Road to Skukuza. 

We stopped off at Skukuza for a bit of a break before driving down Eloff Street and over the high water bridge and then on to Mahle Mahle Dam and back to Skukuza for lunch.  After lunch we then returned to Nkambeni  via Doispane.  Sightings for the day were Elephant, Cheetah, Buffalo, Impala, Kudu, Zebra, Wildebeest and Rhino.  A pretty poor day experienced with alot of road closures.

23rd January -  Our last day with guests was as follows:  Early morning breakfast at Nkambeni before going on a drive up to Transport Dam and back due to the bridge being destroyed just after Transport Dam.  Only sightings before departure were  a herd of Zebra and Impala.  We departed from Kruger at 10h00am and made our way back to Johannesburg.
