After being very busy at the campsite, we leave at 9.40 to the Kruger Park

They tell us at the gate that the model T is not aloud in the park…Shit.
We decide to split up. Dirk-jan and Inge go into the park with the LandRover and Dirk and Trudy take another route to the south. We meet each other tonight.

It’s nice to discover the animals by ourselves, we see a lot of them.

Driving the small offroad routes is the best!
But takes a lot of time, we planned to go out of the park at 16.30 at the OrphenGate.
At 15.30 we check the map and find out we have to drive 2,5 hours more to get to the gate.
We decide to take the tarmac road.
There as well we see a lot of animals.

Our tank is getting low.
We stop at a lodge to fill it, more safe than in the open park..

The sun is going down, still we have 40km to go. We assume the distances in the park are in miles.

At 18.30 we leave the gate, veryverylate according to the guard..
We call Dirk en Trudy that we go to find the nearest Lodge.
After driving 30km in the dark (very Dark) we find one.
In the bar the barman finds a scorpion.
