Sad to leave the Kruger for the last time as we head off to the most northern gate. We almost certainly will never return so we feel compelled keep stopping for our farewells to the various Kruger animals, including a heard of elephants. It's been a tremendous privilege to be here with them.
The journey to Parfun gate and our exit takes longer than expected for the above reasons. We collect other Bobo friends en route as we head west towards the Mapungubwe National Park and our last campsite in South Africa for some time. Like many others we try an abortive trip to Nwanedi National Park en route, as suggested in the day book...but we all give up on the rough washboard road..simply running out of time on the 350km journey. A visit to the Spar shop in Musina and a fuel top-up set us up for a braai tonight and the journey tomorrow.
Finding the campsite is a challenge for us all, most getting lost on route. The directions are poor but our trusty Garmin gets us there with friends in tow over the unsurfaced road. Some of the group a little frustrated but there's nothing like a beer/glass of plonk and a flaming braai with fellow adventurers to sort things out; a good end to a long day.
Botswana and the border tomorrow.
Goodbye Kruger.....
