    Awesome video guys! How many nights did you stay at Tsendze, I'm looking to make a trip the Kruger next year and need to plan.. is it worth it to stay only at Tsendze or how many nights would you recommend and where to from there? (Was Satara worth it?) My total duration I have for the trip is about 10 days. Your input would be greatly appreciated!

    • @NicoleEddy1
      @NicoleEddy1 2 дні тому

      Hey :) We stayed there for 3 nights which was perfect to really soak in the campsite & enjoy the drives in the area (Tropic of Capricorn is a must)! I would definitely combine it with another stay or two. Satara is always great for seeing the big cats, so that's a good option and another favourite of mine is Letaba or Olifants if you can't get into Satara. Shingwedzi however is my ULTIMATE best camp in the Kruger, so it could be a good plan to do a couple of nights at Shingwedzi, followed by Tsendze and then Satara.

    Thanks for that. I wanted to relive my own experiences of driving around the park. I've visited 3 times but not for over 30 years (I'm a Brit). The stories of South Africa's steady decline make me sad. It's such an incredible place. Perhaps I'll get back to the park one more time; but the things I hear make me nervous about heading to RSA again. Perhaps I'm being overly pessimistic. I'd love to see that African sun rising again over the bush. Beautifully shot and soundtracked, by the way. You seem like a lovely couple. I get on well with South Africans (and Aussies, and Kiwis) and often think I should have been born in the southern hem.

    World-class and amazing area! I know it like the back-of-my-hand! I have climbed Sneeuberg and seen Table Mountain in the distance, been to the Maltese Cross, the Wolfberg Arches and slept in the Wolfberg Cave. I have stayed at the original Sanddrif homestead and swum in the feezing waters. I knew the owner, "Wit" Andries Nieuwoud and his son, Rensie and wife Olive, who used to run the cabins (I remember staying in "The Willow" many times!) and campsites on their farm, Kromrivier, as well as the fresh bread and anything-else-which-you-might-need shop at the old homestead. What beautiful people and what wonderful memories! According to legend, I am the very first person to ride a motorbike (Honda 750 classic) down the final and steep pass to the farm, in mid-winter, and over 10cm of solid ice on that notorious curve on final approach! It was so cold that we could not even light a fire, so I drained some petrol from my motorkbike tank! On one occasion, when my brother and sister-in-law came with us to our favourite getaway, Olive told us that they were full booked, but that they would like us to stay in the new homestead, which we accepted with glee! What a privilege that was! The only "problem" was that at night, the goats used to clamber noisily onto their roof, just outside the home! Thank you, Nicole, for refreshing our wonderful memories! I am now eighty years young, still drive my beautiful Land Rover Discovery, and still plan to visit the Cederberg again! You have twisted my arm, honey!

    Hi, I'm just reaching out to you because I just received a copyright violation alert from UA-cam and noticed the poster also stole your video in the same compilation - I'm guessing without your permission. @22:36 ua-cam.com/video/gAp779PYLss/v-deo.html This happens to me a lot - it's very annoying. You can file a copyright removal request, but it only puts a pause on their earnings. BUT if they get 3 strikes in 90 days, their page is completely removed. However, you need to select 'standard' under 'removal options' for it to count as a strike. So I'm hoping you will join me in getting this page shut down, because they are repeat violators and together we can stop them from stealing our intellectual and artistic property.

    Awesome vibes with that caracal sighting! Stumbled on this video just now and maybe not coincidentally after recently having seen a caracal in kruger myself. Also my first ever and what a sighting! Just like you I was all over the place (even climbing on the top of the car to follow it. I feel your frustration about the footage, because it is so hard to get it in focus in the tall grass. However, I've kicked myself in the head even harder. I had mistaken it for a jackal at first, it was just so camouflaged. That was when the caracal was in the grass just next to my car window... and I just sat there until he moved and I realised how stupid I was not to have my camera ready. That repeated itself as the caracal crossed the road while I was climbing back in the car. I've never felt more stupid and excited at the same time. It was just amazing!

I've never been, but next March we'll have to decide to stay either in Lower Sabie or Satara for 2 nights (as Olifants will be too far away from Crocodile Bridge Rest Camp with spotting and all that). I feel like Satara is at least a bit less busy than Lower Sabie, but I can also just be totally wrong. We will enter Crocodile Bridge Rest Camp and will have 3 nights before leaving Orpen Gate for Hoedspruit. Tips? Thanks in Advance.
