Kruger National Park

We left Nelspruit on Saturday 19 July after a enjoyable stay at the Hilltop caravan park. After refueling the bus we entered the Kruger National Park at the Malelane gate only for the day. Because our reservation was only from the Sunday in the Kruger and our month's stay at Hilltop caravan park ended on Saturday we decided to go in with our Wildcard for the day and wild camp for Saturday night. We enjoined the day in the park and exit the gate at Malelane just before closing time. We had to do some shopping at the SuperSpar in Malelane and after getting all we needed but before paying for the lot I asked the shop manager if it would be ok to camp in the parking area with our bus, he was only to happy with us being there for the night, and I noticed later on during the night that the security guards was paying close attention to the bus and our safety was never in doubt.
We left our night camp at seven o'clock on Sunday morning and after the formalities at the gate we started our adventure in the world famous Kruger National Park . We traveled slowly to Skukuza camp from the Malelane gate, it is only 64km to Skukuza with a speed limit of 50km/h on the main roads but experience has tought us that at 20km/h we see the most game and we have enough times stop with the bus and not loose our sighting .Skukuza is the administrative headquarters of the park and therefore also the largest of all the camp's.  While Anita was doing the necessary at the reception Aluschka and I took a walk to the campground to look for a suitable spot to park the bus and make our camp. We found just the perfect spot and while I returned to fetch the bus she kept our spot safe because the campground was filling up fast with campers coming in to claim theirs.
We had a six day reservation in this camp and we intended to make the most of it . Now in retrospect we had a wonderful time at Skukuza with the most Lion sightings ever in the park and although we enjoy the hole park, Skukuza is our new favorite camp. We did many game drive's with the mini bus and the big bus but we all agree that we prefer to go on game drive's with the bus because of the height of the bus, we sit so much higher than any other vehicles and enjoy an clear view of the game. We particularly enjoyed turning off the engine and enjoining a sighting of Lions or Leopard for a hours with all the comforts that comes with our bus.
