Kruger 2020: On the Road

We hit the road from Graaff-Reinet, N9 via Middelburg to the N1 (caught myself doing 135, car was feeling a little loose, realised I’m towing a teardrop, slowed down), N1 all the way to Meyerton. 788 kilometers. We live hella far from the Kruger (We could move to Scarborough. It’s 16km from here, and you really can’t live further from the Kruger than that without moving to a different country).

This is the Klipdraai Caravan Park in Meyerton. It’s huge. 220-ish stands. I suspect it pumps in season, but it was nice and quiet when we overnighted there. List of Rules & Regulations as long as my arm, just shows you what people get up to sometimes.

And then it was the next morning and there was more road to deal with. The GPS proposed the shortest route and I (fool) took it, ran into Joburg traffic. Should have taken the R551 through Heidelberg to Delmas. N12 Witbank, N4 (other) Middelburg, Belfast, Dullstroom.

Stopped at Anvil for lunch, good but the beer is not as good as it used to be.

Previously from Dullstroom we took the Lydenburg Sabie White River route to Kruger, but this time we went via Ohrigstad to Hoedspruit to visit some friends, slept over there, entered the park via Phalaborwa gate.
