    Piet Grobler by right with Kruger and Stevenson-Hamilton the three founders of the "Wildtuin". Grobler was born in Boekenhoutfontein, the farm of Pres Kruger near Rustenburg. He was a Rebel in 1914 and was elected as minister in 1924 when Genl Hertzog became prime-minister

    Hi Curtis & Sonja, enjoying the trips tremendously, have to say I close my 👁️👁️ when the animals are feeding, feel a need to jump out & chase the predators😅. I know it's nature but can't help myself😊. Have an extreme fear of big cats . Thank you for sharing 🚙🚙🚙🚙

    Wonderful to see Satara. The wooden deck at the restaurant must be a new feature. Looks good. Timbavati picnic spot has been there a long time. S100 is best drive to see lions. Had many sightings along that road. Best time to drive it is early winter morning. So fantastic to see that huge buffalo herd and also the zebra herd. Never seen the camping ground so empty. Thanks for the video. One small crit. Hope you don't mind. When filming side to side go much slower. Otherwise we see mostly a blur. We made that mistake with our first video in 2001 and learnt a lesson to do it slower in the years that followed. Oherwise fantastic to see all around Satara.

    Hi you two! What a wonderful trip again. Such abundance of everything. The 'zebra crossing' was quite a sight. I also do not remember seeing such an enormous herd of buffalo there. I also know that lizard as the Bloukop Koggelmander. Thank you for showing us so much, also picnic spots, hides and restaurant /shops and other interesting places. I'm ready for the next trip!
    Keep safe!

      That Southern Tree Agama was absolutely stunning! And he did 'koggel' us a time or two! 😍🦎 So happy to hear you're enjoying our visit to this magnificent place.

  • @flodillon991
    @flodillon991 Рік тому

    What an amazing abundance of animals you saw today can't believe it that buffalo herd was so huge. I must say sometimes I was a bit nervous for the two of you with the closeness of some of the animals. Thank you well down.

    Fantastic. Seeing your videos has definitely put a fire in my belly. It's been 25 years since I last visited the KNP. I hope to visit again one day. Makes it harder, living over 6000 miles away.

    Sonia the game spotter was weer eens ‘spot on’ in deze episode 🤩 Geweldig is haar oog voor & duidelijk hoorbare connectie met de dieren en haar voorspellende gave wanneer we wat gaan zien (de Buffalo, at your service madame 😂). En zij verbinden zich ook duidelijk met haar, zoals ze aandachtig terug kijken. Checking out the situation, zo lijkt het, en dan zien dat alles oké is met jou aan haar zijde 😁 Werkelijk schattig de vele olifanten baby’s! Die grote olifant die met zijn slurf meerdere keren lekker in zijn eigen oren peuterde is erg grappig 🐘🐘🐘. De rustende giraffe 🦒 heeft een opvallend mooie ‘tekening’ qua vorming van zijn ‘vel vlekken’. Geen wonder dat hij bleef poseren. Goedgegun, dat valt jullie op deze toer gelukkig ook toe en daarmee eveneens de vele volgers. Mijn filmpjes uit 2016 moet ik nog eens een keertje aan elkaar gaan plakken 😅. Dus ik blijf heerlijk met jullie mee genieten, met mijn Kruger (dieren) boekjes onder handbereik 🦛🦓🦏🐆🐅

    This channel has the most genuine and realest relationship I’ve ever seen. Both of you are just such close friends and it makes the content so refreshing! What time of the year did you do this visit to the Kruger? Seems so quiet I love it

    • @DustBugsTravel

      Thank you for visiting Kruger with us! Your kind words are much appreciated. 😊 This trip was in November / December 2023 and it was indeed relatively quiet, which we really enjoyed.

    Mananga Adventure Trail is a 48 km long 4x4 trail that you can book and drive in your own 4x4. You should read A South African Eden by James Stevenson-Hamilton. He was the first warden of Kruger in 1902 until he retired in 1946. It is an excellent read and very interesting as it is based on his diary that he kept most of his life until his death.

    It's not often you see those big "Serengeti sized" herds in Kruger. You guys really had a pretty exceptional Kruger trip (which I'm sure you're well aware of, having been there so often before.) I wonder if the dry conditions up North have led to migrations to where there's more grazing and water?

    • @DustBugsTravel
      @DustBugsTravel  Рік тому +2

      We're so grateful for everything we got to see and experience, it was magical. I would agree with you. I feel the fact that there was so little water in the North definitely contributed to smaller groups of animals, but then again we could've missed them too. 🤷🏻‍♂️ It's actually quite awe-inspring to be surrounded by large herds of buffalo and zebra like that, this was the first time that we've seen so many buffalo together and it was super cool that they were in and next to the road and not far away. 😍🐃🦓

  • @susannaemmerich1166
    @susannaemmerich1166 Рік тому +2

    The park used to have beautiful big trees, and thanks to the elephants ofcourse not only the elephants, they are few and far between. 🙃🙈

    • @laliedutoit
      @laliedutoit Рік тому +1

      They should emulate Pilanesberg's approach and regularly shift camps for tree planting. In this context, it is advisable to cultivate 'elephant-proof' trees such as the Crimetart.
