Day 2...Early morning start to get to the Kruger Orpen Gate for our full day Safari... And I have to say the Kruger National Park did not disappoint us...

Charlie our guide was a wealth of information and won me over because of his bird knowledge..

Over and above seeing Wildebeest, Buffalo, Impala, Elephant, Waterbuck, Warthogs, Cheetahs, Baboons, Monkeys & Giraffes, the birds were amazing.. European Rollers, Lilac-breasted Rollers, Bateleur Eagles, African Fish Eagles, Burchell's coucal, Tawny eagles, Herons and more...

We returned back at Kingfisher Creek exhausted, but filled with admiration once again for the African Bush and it's Wildlife...

Arrival at Kingfisher Creek was lovely... Small little lodge in the Guernsey Park bordering the Kruger... There is a fence between the two but that might come down in time.

After checking in we went on a game walk with our guide, learning about all the medicinal uses of the plants around... Ending off spending time with some giraffe before heading back to camp for a lovely hearty dinner...

Ending the day with a nice rain storm while listening to the hyenas calling outside the room...

Desire Travel is on the Road (or Air) Again!

The adventure begins! We took off from Windhoek at 07H00, made a quick stop in JNB, and then touched down in Hoedspruit—a destination we haven’t explored in quite some time. Excitement levels? Off the charts!

First stop: Kingfisher Creek. Nestled in the heart of the bushveld, this hidden gem is already setting the tone for an unforgettable experience. The fresh air, the sounds of nature, and the feeling of being completely immersed in the African wilderness—pure magic!

Stay tuned as we explore, discover, and share all the incredible moments from this journey. Hoedspruit, we’re ready for you! ✨🐘🌿
