Kruger 2023 | Episode 1 | Pretoriuskop, Maroela, Balule

In June 2023 we visited Kruger National Park for the first time in four years - we usually visit every two years. This was an awesome two week trip covering the full length of the park and camping at five different rest camps.
This is South Africa's flagship park and is often referred to as BPOE - Best Place On Earth.
We were rewarded with an abundance of wildlife, landscapes and sunsets. Experience this trip with us.
In this episode we enter the park at Malelane Gate and travel to Pretoriuskop via Afsaal. The next day we travel to Maroela via Tshokwane. And, then finally, we head to Balule via the Olifants River Bridge.
The park's website is here: www.sanparks.org/parks/kruger/

Great video. It's fun for people who know the Kruger and those who don't. Some excellent sights. We really liked the maps. We know the Kruger, but it's nice to see the detail. Good music too

[@RG.......]

Hey thanks for sharing! - can you tell me what is the power/ load shedding situation in the camps? How long were the cuts and did the generators always work?

[@SteveNuns]

Thanks for watching and commenting. Three of the five camps we stayed at do not have electricity. Also we do not rely on or use external power. So even in the two camps that do have electricity, we weren’t aware of loadshedding taking place. So, unfortunately, I do not have an answer to your question - sorry.

[@RG.......]

@@SteveNuns Thanks - what about cell phone signals, were you getting those in the camps?

[@SteveNuns]

@@RG....... yes, cell signal wasn’t a problem in camps. It was a bit patchy in Balule and Tsendze but still usable.
