Kruger Park



As usual we only had a few days in Joburg before we set off again,in a fully laden bakkie with caravan in tow.We collected Elizabeth and Randolf at the airport and headed off to Mpumalanga.We met up with Paulet and Gavin, stayed at the Royal Hotel Pilgrims Rest and had a day of sightseeing in the Blyde River Canyon. We found a fabulous outdoor Boerkos Restaurant near Bourkes Luck, serving pap and wors and beer out of tin mugs. The monkeys and baboons at the Blyde Forever Resort are really cheeky and eating breakfast outside was impossible. Our toast was stolen through the kitchen window and a big baboon grabbed a croissant out of Clarissa's hand.
We stayed in Letaba camp in Kruger Park for 4 nights. We saw evidence of damage to bridges caused by the January floods and had to make a detour via Olifants camp every day to get to Satara and Roodevaal because of road closures. Game viewing and bird watching filled the days and we had some great braais at night.
