Spent a few days hiking near Bronkhorstspruit, sleeping in a stone 'hut'.
What! No Bicycles! Spoilsports.
Slight rain at times.
Nice roadside display of Cosmos.
Kruger Park.
Olifants River resort.
Stuck half-way across the river on our way to a lone Baobab tree attraction. Middle of lion country. Rocks to jack the bakkie up just got pushed deeper and deeper into the sand; tried lots of them. We were there quite a while.
A small car came in behind us and Dad told the driver that we were having a spot of bother. Dad's got no regional UK accent, almost like the old BBC accent, so he was taken aback when the English-speaking, white, South African tour guide (with client) asked him if he spoke English!!!! Dad asked me to talk to him. He told us to wait and he would call the Park's rangers - and be expected to pay a fine for driving down a closed road (the sign had fallen over). Luckily we got pulled out by a 4x4 half an hour later.
Thomas said that that episode was the highlight of the trip.
At our various camp-sites elephants and hyenas would patrol the fences at night.
At the nearby Crocodile Farm reptile room.
Our back garden.
