MY FIRST VISIT TO GREATER KRUGER

KRUGER LUCKY PACKET

My first visit to the Kruger National Park was in 2002 at the age of 27. My then boyfriend, Morné, invited me to go on holiday with him, his older brother Henri and his fiancee, Frieda. Morne have been visiting the Kruger with his family since 1974. I was so excited - I always wanted to go, but never had the opportunity before.

We entered the Kruger at the Phalaborwa Gate. We then followed a gravel road (H9) to the Nhlanganini Dam. I ne excitement in the car was contagious and I had this adrenaline rush. I was hooked there and then.
