2013 (76) November (26) Ficksburg Bridge - no cherry blossoms here Caledonspoort - what happened her

The Kruger National Park (KNP) in the north-east of South Africa must be one of the top tourist attractions, not only in South Africa, but world wide. I will not do justice to write about it on this blog, but I decided to include a short post with a few pictures, just to wet your appetite. During this tour to all the border posts of South Africa, we had to enter the KNP to visit 2 border posts between South Africa and Mozambique. We entered KNP in the north-west at Pafuri gate, camped at Shingwedzi, and exited at Phalaborwa gate. Later, after visiting the Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport and the Lebombo border post, we re-entered KNP at the Crocodile bridge gate where we also camped for one night.
