The Kruger National Park South Africa … What an Amazing, Incredible Adventure it Was …
During May 2006 I started a personal project that would see me drive every accessible Kruger Park road before the end of the year. The objective was then to share all I saw in the Kruger Game Reserve Wilderness with anybody interested. This was in the hope that the record of events might inspire more of you to visit and enjoy even more this Eden, this Treasure that belongs to all of us in South Africa … after all the Kruger National Park remains one of the world’s most precious wilderness areas.
The Final Journey, the Last Day in The Kruger
On Saturday October 8th 2006 around 06.00 hrs I drove the final 12 kms from Berg-en-Dal camp to the Malelane Gate. This short drive marked the end of the Kruger project …
I had spent more than 30 days in the Game Reserve and driven in excess of 5,000 kms in order to cover and record my drives. It had been a fascinating, enjoyable, exciting and real privelige to spend the time in this most wonderful wildlife eden.
It was fitting that on this short drive to Malelane Gate that I saw 5 lions and a large breeding herd of Kruger Elephants.
Hopefully some of the visitors to this Kruger National Park website will become determined to repeat at least part of my adventure because that’s what it was for me …

Over the years Hennie has witnessed many big 5 incidents and was witness to the massive floods that partly destroyed Sabie Park in 2000. He has writtten great stories about the pure joy of living in the bush, right “Next Door to the Kruger”.
