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.Meer informatie
Reiziger 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
Reiziger 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.
Reiziger Exciting trip!! Nice to meet helpful people. There is plenty of them around.

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 roadMeer informatie
