We left you and Kruger on 15th December 2020 and as you may recall not a moment too soon. The heat and drought stricken conditions around Lower Sabie were just too much to bear. From Kruger we travelled to Jo’burg…
Videos and photos of good rain in the dry areas of Kruger are coming through this evening – just after we left. Hopefully Kruger will respond quickly to good rain and will be ready for us at the end of…
Sunday, 13th The prolonged heatwave is taking its toll and I go out by myself, heading for Salitjie S30. The forecast is for cooler weather today and change is indicated by a large storm cloud to the north with lightning…
Friday, 11th We must, rather unexpectedly, return to Malalane today to complete some of our errands from yesterday. This is no problem as I wanted to travel the S25 Crocodile River road at some stage. So, uninterrupted by lions and…
“God works in mysterious ways”. For some reason my 4am alarm does not sound and we only rise at 5am and then leave the gates at 5.30am. Remember that today we are heading for Malalane for Renette’s dental appointment and…

Saturday, 5th Again, a strong, cool blows during the night and we awake to leaden skies. Sadly, only a little misty drizzle falls. We are going to replenish our groceries today in Komatipoort so at 5.30am we take off down…
Following on from yesterday’s legless ellie may I remind bloggers of this Satara ellie that I saw a year ago with this hole in his trunk which did not seem to inconvenience him at all. With the caravan in tow…
The S100 and Nwanetsi area is so beautiful that I could travel up and down this road every day – especially as there is so little traffic early in the day. Again, it is cloudy as we creep down this…
Again a strong south wind is blowing this morning but the clouds are thin and by 5.30am it is bright enough to venture out. Satara has not been at its best. The road north along the H1-4 has so little…
I am changing tactics somewhat. I am finding that preparing a blog covering the events of the day can mean that I get to bed after midnight – which with a 4am rising is leaving me a bit ‘zonked’. So…
