MUST SEE: More Kruger Park Madness
We hope you’ve planned your long weekend in Kruger Park (with your kids If you got some). If not, here’s some more footage shot in Kruger Park that will blow your mind and convince you to go. Regular Representers will have seen our Elephant encounter (see below) but this one takes the ‘buffalo’. Watch till the end you will not believe your eyes – a veritable animal rubgy match. Our favourite moment had to be the return of the buffaloes as one movement one animal. (Remember with YouTube the best thing to do is let the page load and as soon as the video starts playing press pause until the video is fully loaded – you can tell from the red line – then you can watch it without interruption.)

Kruger Park has been around more than 100 years and is probably one of the most affordable bush experiences in the world. There’s nothing like it – driving around in your car having a laugh, trying to “spot” the big five… a 5am wake up call followed by a greasy breakfast cooked on a skottel at a picnic spot as you watch the sun begin to rise across the sky, a cold beer at a waterhole then a dash back to the campsite to make sure you make it in time before the camp gates close… Evening’s mean it’s time for a braai outside your hut, a walk around the perimeter of the camp looking for hyenas, a frightening midnight dash to the loo…. I have heard some snobby types dismiss Kruger park as “not being as close to nature” as you are in a private reserve because you drive in your own car and stay in big camps in Kruger. Ignore them. In Kruger you are independent, not reliant on expensive game drives to...
We will be back!
