Thursday, 7th February There is a light drizzle today as we set off to the Luvuvhu River. I am specifically after the Racket-tailed Roller, the Three-banded Courser and the Lemon-breasted Canary. I have been told that the Roller has been…
Wednesday, 6th February Today is cloudy and cool so I decide to spend some time down at the Luvuvhu River. Renette understandably elects to stay in camp. At 5.30am I am the only car at the gate. I must mention…
Tuesday, 5th February The weather forecast has it spot on and at midnight the rain begins beating on the caravan and the wind is tearing at the awning. We arise at 6am with a light rain falling and everything soaked.…

Wednesday, 23rd January It is cloudy and dull with a light south wind blowing so we change plan and head down the Nwanetsi River road (S100). Although not as lush as Nwaswisonto, the grass is quite high – enough for…
Kruger Park 2019 – A five month trip covering the length and breadth The longest continuous spell that we have ever spent in Kruger was 36 days in February/March 2017. We loved it so much that we were both sad…
