  • Our stay at Maroela Satellite Camp in the Kruger National Park was a delightful experience. After a short drive from Tamboti Tented Camp, we found ourselves in the picturesque campsite of Maroela, surrounded by large trees providing ample shade along the Timbavati River. The day was filled with exciting game viewing, including the thrill of spotting a tortoise for the first time on this trip through the Park, which made Sonia particularly happy. As always, we made sure the tortoise crossed the road safely before moving on. Witnessing playful lions in the riverbed and others of their pride at a nearby zebra kill added to the day's highlights. Although rain prevented us once again from having a braai, our evening was still splendid with a wonderful dinner, prepared in the communal kitchen. Despite a minor inconvenience of a leaking mattress, we slept soundly and overall our time at Maroela was a fantastic and memorable experience. #DustBugs #adventuretravel #southafrica #southafricavlog #travelongravel #krugernationalpark #maroela #tamboti

    Hi guys another awesome video as always totally real elephant drinking water lions feeding. When you mentioned about lions growling in the night it's a noise I remember you can actually feel it in your belly!!! Well you will always remember camping losing your charger and a puncher in the mattress but this is what memories are made of. I'm sitting on my settee grazing Wagoo biltong driving around the Kruger Park. My daughter's friend is in the Kruger Park at the moment and sent photos two warthogs sleeping under their patio only in South Africa thanks for taking me along cheerio till the next one

    Hi you two! Many many thanks for this video. The close-ups, especially the one of the giraffe's ears, but also of the birdlife, really are unique, not to mention the lionesses rolling in their sleep! I'm ready as always to enjoy the next trip with you.
    Keep safe!

    Awesome video as always. Thank you for sharing. Never stayed at Maroela but love Tamboti as well as Orpen. Wonderful sightings of the Birmingham lion pride at the Orpen water hole, including some white lions. Fun fact: lions turn on their backs with legs up in the air to assist with digesting their food. Looking forward to your next camp. My favourites have always been Lower Sabie and Croc Bridge. Safe travels.

    2x een circel of life in beeld, eerst de leeuwen die aan de zebra knabbelen en dan op 28.30 minuten de leuke variant: het vogeltje dat zijn snaveltje onbekommerd schaaft of schoonmaakt aan de knobbels van de giraffe! Die dat stoïcijns lijkt te ondergaan 🦒😄🐦. De 2 leeuwen die samen heerlijk relaxen; daar word je gewoon helemaal zen van als kijker. Je wilt die houdingen bijna zelf nadoen na een dag hard werken, dat zou eigenlijk ook geen gek idee zijn. Die zoogdieren zouden waarschijnlijk niet gaan crossen door het park om een powerbank terug te vinden, al ben ik blij dat jullie die toch ineens heel dichtbij terug vonden 💡 Jammer van de regen die dag maar mogelijk wel even verfrissend voor mens en dier. Ben benieuwd of de zon weer gaat schijnen dus het is afwachten tot de episode van maandag of dat het geval zal zijn 🎥🇿🇦

      @@DustBugsTravel I so agree with you. We were there in October of 2023 and I just miss the magic of the kruger where one just forgets about everything and enjoy the bush and animals. We have managed to go for the last three or four years at different times. Such a wonderful time. Nothing like it.
