After a difficult year of being apart from each other while working towards the partnership visa that would make it possible for Matthew to come to the Netherlands, we now decided we couldn't wait any longer so I will fly back to South Africa this upcoming Thursday! 😄This time I will fly to Johannesburg from where we will rent a car on Friday morning and drive straight to Kruger National Park for our first week. Almost everything is packed now although Castor is not agreeing on that, seems like he wants to come with us on our trip instead of staying home with the cat sitters 😹 more updates will follow soon.En savoir plus

Jour 2
Johannesburg - Hazyview
24 novembre 2023, Afrique du Sud ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Friday morning after arriving at the airport and collecting the rental car I drove straight to Midrand to the bus station to pick up Matthew and from there we drove straight to our accommodation in Hazyview. After a long flight/busride and 5 hour car drive we arrived safely at Tsamatiku Villa Guesthouse where we will stay for the first 6 nights and is only a 4 minute drive away from the Phabeni gate at Kruger. Tomorrow the first day in the park, it's hot but I'm sure we will still see plenty of wildlife. Updates and photos will follow soon.En savoir plus

After sleeping in a bit we went into Krugerpark. For this first day we saw quite a few animals. At the end of the day we also saw a leopard next to the road but that was being surrounded by multiple game drive vehicles and then unfortunately disappeared in the bush so unfortunately no picture but we will keep looking for the big cats. I will upload some more pictures in a second post.En savoir plus

Today we went into the park early (6am) and were lucky enough to see a lot of animals again. While we were driving back towards the gate later in the afternoon, we saw a car stopped on a bridge and according to the occupants, they saw a leopard kill and drag an impala up a tree. This definitely will be a place to go back to tomorrow. Our search for the elusive leopard continues...

This morning Matthew didn't feel well and stayed in bed for a few more hours so I decided to go into the park alone. As luck would have it, the car got a flat tyre while I was all by myself. Fortunately, a kind Kruger staff member offered assistance and fitted the spare. After 2 hours in the park, I returned to Matthew to check up on him. We both spent most of the day driving around trying to get the flat tyre replaced. After some struggle, we got it replaced and returned to the park together for a couple more hours.En savoir plus

Voyageur Jee, echt niet fijn om in Kruger een lekke band te krijgen en dan sta je er ook nog alleen voor. Fijn dat het weer is opgelost
29/11/2023RépondreTraduire
Voyageur Gelukkig was dat nog voor ik het park in was. Een medewerker bij de gate vroeg of ik me er bewust van was dat ik een lekke band had en bood meteen zijn hulp aan. Maar ik zei inderdaad tegen hem ook al, geluk bij een ongeluk dat het nu was gebeurd en niet in het park zelf want dan had ik de auto niet uit kunnen gaan. Maar gelukkig allemaal opgelost idd en zo zie je maar weer dat er genoeg behulpzame mensen zijn. En door goed mee te kijken denk ik dat ik nu zelf ook weet hoe ik de band moet vervangen.

Voyageur Exciting trip!! Nice to meet helpful people. There is plenty of them around.

Jour 6
Kruger National Park day 4
28 novembre 2023, Afrique du Sud ⋅ ☀️ 38 °C
Today we had quite an interesting moment upon entering the park. Just a few minutes after entering the park, we were stopped by a military police patrol, luckily it was a routine a check and we had nothing to fear. We're clearly becoming quite well known at the park, as a few staff easily recognise us at this point, making us feel right at home. Today was also quite the occasion, since we saw our first lions and even two cheetahs laying low in some shade, making them hard to spot.En savoir plus

Jour 7
Kruger National Park day 5
29 novembre 2023, Afrique du Sud ⋅ 🌧 27 °C
On our 5th day, Nicole once again entered the park without me for 2 hours since the malaria medication makes me horribly sick, which is rather unfortunate yet still way better than actually having malaria. She did however spot some hyenas and lions, making her solo trip quite worth it. After picking me up at the guesthouse, we entered the park and continued our search for these magnificent beasts. Not long after entering the park, the weather started to turn a bit, bringing some much needed rain to the area, definitely a welcome sight after the scorching hot days prior. The lions seemed to love this, as they couldn't be bothered and just continued sleeping, typical cats. One more lovely day, many more lovely memories.En savoir plus

Jour 8
Kruger National Park - Sabie
30 novembre 2023, Afrique du Sud ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C
Today wasn't a particularly eventful day in Kruger, rather jarring as a matter of fact, so around 10am we decided to leave the park and head towards the Malelane gate to the south. Given that the road was an absolute tyre-killer, the 62km drive to the gate took quite long, as we had to be careful, as to not get another flat. After exiting the park, we got some groceries in the town of Malelane and headed towards Sabie. The route to Sabie made up for the lack of activity in the park as the route is very scenic. We met our host Arien and immediately fell in love with the room and the yard. Nicole acquainted herself with the doggies, and I made us some lovely dinner. We feel right at home here. Tomorrow we will do some sight-seeing in the area.En savoir plus
