UK Van Lifers Discover what South Africa is really like [S9-E5]

OMW, R1300 for a parking spot ? How much is a room there ?

Magic to see that leopard so close! Isn’t it amazing how nonchalant they seem ❤️

We had our honeymoon in South Africa 2 years ago and spent a few days in sabisands which is along side Kruger. So many leopards and lions. Great to see your video, must go back

My beautiful country ❤❤❤

Fabulous video, can’t believe how much wildlife you saw. Thanks again for taking us along!

Wow! Kruger from south to north in a day and a half! That is either a world record or very close to a world record. I don’t know whether to be impressed or shocked. You missed out on so much – but I understand you had places to be. Very impressed with your dedication to driving! You were lucky with your sightings – two leopards! I visited Kruger for many years before seeing one. What you missed – many beautiful camps, picnic sites and views, including the renowned Olifants view and the deck at Mopani. There are many shops throughout the park, including at Satara, that sell the stickers you were looking for. If you really want a sticker, reply to this and I will get you one next time I am there.

The best time to visit any nature reserve and to see the most game is during the winter months! 🙂

I’ve been following your adventures since you set off in Trudy the first time. You took me with you on extraordinary travels around the globe. Hard to tell which episodes I favour most as everywhere is special. However, there is something extra special about this video. Maybe because this is my country of birth. And the Kruger one of my most favourite places ever visited. Thank you for taking me there again. Enjoy.

Yip, you are right, you ended your drive around the world in the best place in the world – Kruger National Park!

Winter is the best season to go to Kruger if you want to be able see animals. In summer it's lovely and green, but then the grass is long. Winter it's dryer and the grass is short enabling one to potentially see more animals.

PLEASE stop referring to antelope as ''deer' in South Africa. I'm enjoying your programme very much except for your misinformation, particularly your comments on the animals. Deer are widely distributed, with indigenous representatives in all continents except Antarctica and Australia, though Africa has only one native deer, the Barbary stag, a subspecies of red deer which is confined to the Atlas Mountains in the northwest of the continent. 🙂 Also, it would be helpful to your viewers if you went into the geography a little deeper and told them that those magnificent mountains bordering Maputo are called the Lebombo Mountains.

The trees are Mopani trees and their leaves change colour in the Spring. Interesting facts about Mopani trees:- Mopane twigs have been traditionally used as tooth brushes, the bark to make twine and for tanning leather, and the leaves for healing wounds. The wood is also used to make charcoal and for braai wood. The tree is a major food source for the mopane worm, the caterpillar of the moth Gonimbrasia belina. The scent is rom the Sagebrush plants alongside the road. What is African sage used for?

A remedy made by mixing S. africana tea with Epsom salts and lemon juice was used by the early settlers in South Africa to treat stomach troubles, including colic, diarrhoea, flatulence, heartburn, gripes and indigestion. It was also given to cows after calving to help in the expulsion of the placenta. Also those ''monkeys'' on the bridge are Chacma Baboons.

Thank you, a stunning journey through the Kruger Park. Wonderful to see the herd of elephants crossing the road 🐘🐘🐘🐘
