… as if there’s such a thing!
While touring the Lowveld in February, we concluded our trip with a stay at Swadini in the Blyde River Canyon Nature Reserve – more on the time we spent there in an upcoming edition of de Wets Wild. Having first explored the Pafuri area in the far north of the Kruger National Park and then spending time at Letaba in the Park’s central region, we wanted to make one more day visit to the Park, and Swadini being only 70km from the Orpen Gate made that an easy undertaking.
Our route took us from Orpen Gate down to Muzandzeni Picnic Site for breakfast, past Nhlanguleni Picnic Site to Tshokwane Picnic Site where we had lunch, and back to Orpen via Satara Rest Camp. Despite it being an overcast day with regular downpours, we still managed great sightings, as evidenced by this little gallery of images we took on the day (you can click on any of the pictures for a better view).

I’m not sure which is my favorite, this is a lovely gallery of shots. I feel like I say that a lot when I visit this blog 🙂
You are a very kind soul P J B! Thank you so much!
Also, came back and shared on Twitter 🙂
What a wonderful photos… like I’ve seen on TV Natgeo Wild… 🙂
– I wish I could be there.. someday –
Thanks very much Bambang!
We’ll wish with you that someday, soon, you will be visiting our beautiful wild places here in South Africa.
What an amazing array of animals….and all in one day….wonderful 🙂
All very much “par for the course” when visiting the Kruger National Park, Seonaid. Thank you for visiting with us again!
What an awesome day of sightings! Great photos!
Thanks for the kind comment Michael!
Never a dull day in the Kruger, as you’ll know!
I am continually amazed by the wonderful diversity of wildlife that you and your family encounter-I realize everyplace has its drawbacks, but reading of your adventures, it seems magical-
We’re certainly blessed to be living in the country that we do Meg, that’s a fact!
Magnificent pix, de Wets.
Thanks again, Tish!
Great photos once again – would love to go on safari one day!!!
We’re sure your travels will bring you to our shores soon enough 😉
Beautiful images… and looks like we have a great chance of spotting them even from our safari vehicle, right?
Thanks Sreejith! Indeed, in most of our parks and reserves, you can drive yourself around and enjoy sightings like these along the way.
Great photos…all of them. I hope I am as lucky on my safari…as I have one chance and one chance only on this trip of a lifetime.
Thank you Rosemarie!
We’re certain you will have a great safari, but don’t be too sure it will be your only one; if Africa crawls under your skin you’ll find it difficult to ignore the call 😉
That could certainly happen. However, something else is happening in my life that will be a priority. I am going to become a grandma this year. My daughter is pregnant with a son due in September.
Congratulations Rosemarie!
Thank you!
