We go back to the Kruger at the end of the South African summer. Join us as we move on to Letaba. We take the fantastic Tropic of Capricorn loop again and find hundreds of zebra, wildebeest and loads of elephants including as magnificent big tusker. Once we get to Letaba we struugle somewshat dued to all the closed roads but still find things to see.

Great attitude Les. This is why I think you are one of the great safari travel channels on KZfaq. Keeping it positive even when game is scarce. The videography on that huge tusker was absolutely awesome! Thanks again mate!

That Capricorn Loop is like Kruger's Serengeti in the summer after good rains. Fantastic!

That's exactly what I thought! Somehow that loop seems to be more like Africa than the rest of the park!

Thanks for wetting our appetite for Letaba, only 70 days until our 21 night north to south Kruger trip now. Hoping for less rain. Looking forward to the new shop there. Thanks for sharing with us.

Great job OC! And lovely to see Mrs. OC do a "cameo" at the key drop! We spent March in the Kruger with a very similar itinerary.

Another great video! I love how green and lush the park looks. Looks like you are really dialing in your video settings and editing with this year’s trips to Kghalahadi and Kruger. I’m really enjoying following along on your adventures 👍👍

Thanks for that! I was pleased with the editingthis time although it's hard to judge when you are so close. Looks like the many hours I spent on each video (sometimes I thought it would never be finished) is paying off!

I am a South African living in London and I love your posts - where does the lovely music you use come from. Is some of it from Brand Dollar?

@oldcodgerwithacamera 2 ай бұрын

Many thanks. The music is from Epidemic Sound.

Sometimes it just happens like that but I was surprised at the Lower sabie shop being temporary. Shame. Did the reedbuck come for tea?

@oldcodgerwithacamera 9 ай бұрын

I assume you mean Letaba shop? They were building the new shop while we were there and it opened yestrday (25th August 2023).
