Kruger Trip Report: Dec 2009 - Jan 2010

Our apologies for taking so long to compile the trip report but we saw so much game and therefore took over 10 000 photographs that we had to sift through in order to choose and edit the best ones!

Here is the link to the Kruger Trip Report that has four pages, one for each camp we stayed at.

There is a link at the bottom of each page taking you to the next page of the trip report.

Latest issue of Kruger Park Times

It has stories on lion research, SANParks vets' overview for 2009; a rhino rescue; buffalo encounters with Kruger rangers; firestorms; Kruger's emerging tuskers and an article written by us on the 'Southern Circle' - the Kruger's best game viewing area in terms of regular sightings of the big-5 plus cheetah and wild dogs.

Crocodile Bridge - latest update

Not only do they have to drive all the way back to Malelane gate but they don't get to drive along the main road from Croc Bridge to Lower Sabie or on the S28, which are two of the best roads in the park for consistant sightings of big game.

I asked a few SANParks staff for answers and one came back to us. William Mabasa is the head of Public Relations and Communication based at Skukuza. Here is William's answer:

"The new contractor was appointed in February 2010 and his undertaking was to complete the bridge in three months, however he could not start with the work due to all the rains that we received since then. Currently the plan for the contractor is to move in on Monday 19 April if rain do not continue and he should complete the project by the begining of August, then the problem would solved completely." Thank you William for shedding some light on this issue.

You can see some of our visitor photos of the bridge being flooded.
