  • During our overnight stay at Malelane Satellite Camp in the Kruger National Park, we changed our plans and decided to forgo camping and upgraded to one of the camp's five bungalows. We were delighted by the breathtaking surroundings, a picturesque camp nestled amongst large trees, including the southernmost baobab we saw in the Park, with lush green grass along the Crocodile River. Our game drive proved to be a wildlife spectacle, featuring encounters with lion, wild dog, rhino, vibrant birds and various other animals. The evening was spent enjoying a braai before retiring to our comfortable bungalow. The following morning, after another remarkable game drive, we indulged in a delicious breakfast, bidding farewell to this extraordinary camp. #DustBugs #adventuretravel #southafrica #southafricavlog #travelongravel #krugernationalpark #malelane

    Hi you two! Malelane is a beautiful camp in the green South. Thank you for another great trip full of majestic giraffe, naughty dogs, loving lions, wonderful birds and spectacular views of the green surrounds with the mountains on the horizon. I'm ready for the next trip!
    Keep safe!

    Those wild doggos are always so full of life. You guys are making me jealous. I'm already planning the next trip. 😂 So green there in the South. Amazing.
    Also, I've been pronouncing Malelane wrong this entire time. 🙈

    I always enjoy your trips but Kruger has been especially wonderful. I like the way you don't just sell out the big five but stop to look at insects, birds, small animals and large ones. It's been very interesting. Verna

    Thank you for another exciting journey from Berg-en-Dal to Malelane and surrounds, filled with fantastic sightings. You have indeed been blessed with remarkable sightings throughout your trip. I've never stayed at Malelane Satellite Camp before but will indeed include it in my next trip to the KNP. It appears to offer a very tranquil atmosphere with close proximity to the Crocodile River and above-average accommodations. Sad to know it will be your last camp in the next posting, as your journey in the KNP comes to an end 🤭. Lap up every moment ..... 😊

    Love gravel, love the mountain range in the background. Warthogs are so cute. The shapes of trees fascinate me. Especially the kanniedood tree! Love your braai, looks very merry. Wish I could come out and join you with my glass of wine. Nothing beats a rondavel for camping.

    I am reminded of the 50/50 program we watched on SABC years back.
    I am so grateful to you for taking the time to really show us all the types of wildlife.
    I absolutely love watching your videos.

      You missed a few episodes, it seems! 😁 We ate pap-and-sous in Olifants, Satara and Berg-en-Dal and I made our own pap in Lower Sabie. Sonia is from Limpopo and I'm from the Eastern Cape, so pap will always be a firm favourite with us. But we love braaibroodjies on the fire just as much! 😍🥪

      Yes, we saw quite a few cross the road, but I was just too slow each time to catch any of them on film. Amongst them was a beautiful, bright green one. 😍🐍 Unfortunately we saw a few more that had been killed by vehicles. I found that quite sad and chose not to film them. 😥

      It looks like another bird to me, just much higher up. There were many marabou storks in the sky that day. 🦅 I don't think it's a plane or anything else.
