Kudu
This weekend our guests saw leopard, elephant hyena, hippo, zebra, wildebeest, giraffe, wild dog and kudu amongst others!
It is such a stunning time to be in the Kruger National Park! Yes it is hot and the humidity is high, but the game viewing is amazing! So many of the animals have young, everything is green and one cannot help but feel rejuvenated by its obvious joy in being alive!
Giraffe
Unfortunately today is the last day of our festive season offer, but our rates are so good, it is still a very affordable option!

Mopani Camp entertainment
The Tour Operators group overnighted at Mopani Camp with its spectacular sunsets. They were entertained royally and had a great time!

The group ended up back in Letaba where they played soccer on a dirt pitch in the unfenced staff village! Luckily no animals opted to join the game & a good time was had by all!
The tour watch hugely successful and many new friends were made! And of course the Kruger National Park is great as always!

Hopefully they had some good sightings, but you’ll have to wait with me for the update!

Pretoriuskop chalets
After a very early departure, we arrived at Berg & Dal rest camp, the first stop on our Tour operator’s tour of the Kruger National Park. On the way in we saw elephant, rhino, impala and kudu. After this, we are heading to Pretoriuskop rest camp.

The purpose of these tours is for SAN Parks to show tour operators & agents the various facilities and possibilities of the Kruger National Park. It also affords operators the opportunity to meet each other, share ideas and forge new relationships.
