Thank you for sharing your beautiful video. Love all the sounds
@margiwagner5718 Thank you so much for watching my video. My intention with the videos was to share my experiences, and it brings me great joy if you enjoyed it ☺️
Thanks so much I never been there it's so beautiful
@@ConnyIngle I am so happy that my video shared the beauty and history of this remarkable camp in Kruger and that you enjoyed it 😀
Please shoew Crocs Corner Campsite >> we are ther in Late Oct for 5 Nights
Skukuza back in the day was called Wave City
@marktaylor4025 that's awesome 😊
Pragtige plek! Dankie vir die mooi video
@@ronellkeeve4590 baie dankie bly jy het dit geniet!
In the best tradition, beyond a wave, we stop and share what sightings or things of interest are coming up
@gavinsmith28 I always appreciate the chat on the road or at the sighting board in the camp. 👌🏼
Amazing ❤❤❤
Dankie vir deel gaan gerus draai daar flippen nice mooi loop
@@shaunmoller2997 jy sal dit so geniet en jou hart sal verlang na die stilte, die rustige mutale rivier, die sagte klank in die verte van die beeste se klok om die nek, die mooiste kremetart bome en die vriendelike mense. Die sons opkoms en ondergang. Sjoe sommer lus en pak en ry! 🙂
@@ladyandherlandy Ek en vroulief sal verseker baie dankie vir terug voer mooi loop
Was raised greeting any form of humanity anywhere anytime but society has lost a very precious character trait called very simply : RESPECT
@@wimoweh1951 I do agree with you indeed sad
Waving / greeting other visitors is a very common thing in all the game parks we have visited, it goes from a full on wave to, Royal wave or just raising a finger off the steering wheel but all a greeting to fellow nature lovers. 👋☝🙌
I'm a waver🎉
I'm a waver 😊😊 me and my partner even count how many waved back
Aah, that's awesome. That makes my heart smile 😍
Very thoughtful of you, thank you very much. Elke hond kry sy dag so my beurt kom binnekort! Enjoy every moment of your trip!
Bly om to hoor jy kuier binbekort in jou geliefde Kruger Wildtuin. Mooi loop!
I envy you for being in the park. Thank you for your video and enjoy your trip👍👍👍
Hello Renier, I always feel privileged to be here. Next time, it's your turn 😊
Ek het in die 80tigs daar deur gery met trok en sleepwa vol boerbkke vir Natal. Dis mooi wereld. Iemand het gese dis omgevalde berge.
Dit is nog net so mooi, en ek stem saam daardie area lyk asof die Berge getuimel het.
They are like america and insrael, they show us they are enemies but from behind close doors they are one
❤ Thanks for this video......Pretoriusskop is a FABULOUS camp.....LOVE to camp @ Pretoriusskop😊❤😊
Thank you. It makes me happy that you enjoyed it ☺️ 🫶🏼

According to the Malay Annals, this name was given by a 13th-century Sumatran Malay prince named #SangNilaUtama, who, on alighting the island after a thunderstorm, spotted an auspicious beast on shore that his chief minister identified as an #Asiaticlion. Recent studies of Singapore indicate #lions have never lived there, unlike the tiger. Therefore, the animal seen by Sang Nila Utama would more likely have been a tiger, though it would be odd for them not to recognize one.🦁 🇸🇬 The Legend Of The 🌊 #MERLION 🦁

.
The name comes from when they built the lake it did not fill with water as expected, so they panicked... thus they called it lake panic 😂
😂 thank you for the lekker laugh I just had
Love to watch giraffes they're so cool 😮
I agree such an elegant animal 🦒
What an absolute sh!tshow!
Lmfao that one beetle that runs with it like "it's mine bitches" 😂😂
Someone should do a voice over to this. Omg 😂
They were PISSED 😂😂😂
my god... could you imagine a world where human women are this valuable. not since troy.
They are, they birth the species
@@EuropeanHitMan do they?!
That's a weird elden ring reference
I am disappointed. This should have been titled spectacular scarab scrap.
You are so right!
holy shit
Haha 🤣 love your response!
Beautiful part of the world! And pleasant to use original sound.. love it 😅
Thank you! 😃
Thanks for the video. I remember this camp so well back from the time I was 4 years old which is 61 years ago. My late parents first entered the Kruger in 1947 and from school in Jhb we used to visit the Kruger twice a year and stayed in those old rondavels. My brother and I could not wait to get to the pool too. I have been to the Kruger now over 40x and I do hope that I will visit again in the future. It’s a magical magical place. My late parents ashes including my husbands were scattered at the outlook point at Olifants Camp and hopefully mine will be scattered there also one day. Thanks again for the tour. Brought back wonderful memories
Aaah your response is exactly why I do these videos. Is to keep the memories alive for you, me and others. Also to share with those who only dream of visiting The Kruger National. I hope you return, but regardless, your energy and footsteps are etched in the soil of The Kruger. Bless your parents for awaking the love for nature and the privilege to explore The Kruger National. It is indeed a magical ✨️ magical place. Take care x
@@ladyandherlandy Thank you for your answer. I do hope I return. It's good to know that the Kruger is so well looked after and has not been destroyed like the rest of SA by the government. Safe journeys and stay safe
Not usable information.
Hello, thank you for your comment. I am so sorry that you feel it's not useful. Could I assist with more detail? I always share how I experience the places I visit. Moriti Bush Camp have a great Instagram account you can view 🙂 have a lekker evening.
❤❤❤
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?
Hello, I'm glad you enjoyed the content. When I camped in Satara end May and now August/September in Shingwedzi and Pretoriuskop, the generators kicked in. Heard it humming in Satara and Pretoriuskop but no noise in Shingwedzi. Had power and absolutely no problem. 😊
Apologies we were on stage 3 so ran for 2 hours in the day, and depending on the time slot for the area, if the next 2 hour loadshedding timeslot was between the hours 22h00 - 5h00 they did not switch the generator on in Pretoriuskop but will switch on around 07h00 in the morning. But this created very little inconvenience, carry a torch, have a flask with boiling water to make a cup of tea, listen to the birds and before you know it the power is on again 🐾
@@ladyandherlandy Thanks - not sure what the stages are, so generators will not come on at night? Asking because we come in December, and without fans/ air con it's going to be very warm, not to say that food/ meat in the fridge would be tricky
@RG....... stages 1 to 3 is maximum 2 hours of loadshedding per day and impact low. Stages 4 to 6 ramps up to two or 3 sets of loadshedding per 24 hours and can range between 3 to 4 hours of loadshedding so off for 4 on for 6 hours. The generators in the entire Kruger National was reliable and did come on and switch over was automatic. Except in Pretoriuskop as the camp staff drove out to the generator outing the camp to switch over manually. The shops were run well and had cold items, frozen and fresh foods and ice all the time. Which camps are you visiting?
@@ladyandherlandy Croc Bridge, Malelane satellite, Satara and Skukuza over 2 weeks. Bungalow or huts. Any idea if they normally go to stage 4/5/6 in the summer?
Agh man Mariette, jy maak ons jaloers!! Wens ek het iemand om saam te ry na plekke soes hierie rustige en peaceful spots.
Kom saam volgende keer!
Where are the non electrified camp sites at Satara
Satara as a camp will have fencing around the entire camp which includes the area where the camping sites are. But each campsite is an open area so between you and your camp neighbor nothing. I hope I answered your question adequately 😊
@gaynorstone4087 the non electrified campsites are not next to the fence line. As you enter the campsite area, you can carry on straight turn right at the ablution building alongside the fence towards the end where the road turns right these camp sites are on the left and towards the bottom area alongside the area where the self catering units ends.
Lekker content. Subb’d…👍🏼
Thank you so much 🫶🏼
Safe travels! So exciting, enjoy every minute 😊 PS Loving the nails 😉
Thank you 😊
Nice and simple 👌👌👌
Sometimes all we need x
Awesome dear
Thank you 😊
Hello, yes there are wild animals like antelope, warthog and the like. No giraffe, Buffalo or elephant. It's advisable not to walk around in the estate at night. At the lodge itself you are safe. I hope this information assists you ❤
