Lake Panic was a beehive of activity when we arrived this morning. Southern masked weavers and grey herons were busy nest building while the goliath heron stood sentry duty. A pied kingfisher repeatedly bashed his catch senseless on the branch ... Read more >

The Gannet Place Guest House doesn’t live up to the standards of other places we have stayed recently. It is in Hazyview, some 40 km from the Kruger Gate and we don’t have it all to ourselves! On the plus side, it had vacancies ... Read more >

We spent our first three days at Kruger in the southern part of the park; Berg-en-Dahl, Skakuza and Crocodile Bridge. The commute from Belvedere-on-River to the Malelane Gate entrance was a snap – only ten kilometers. It’s 70 ... Read more >

The iSimangaliso Wetlands isn't on the Garden Rute and it's one hell of a long drive from Kurger Natinal Park. We decided to include the photos of this World Heritage Site with Kruger because of the special environment and the birds and animals.... Read more >
