S1 - Ep 434 - Tamboti Tented Camp!
Рет қаралды 36,273
5 ай бұрынOur two-night stay at Tamboti Tented Camp in Kruger National Park was a thrilling experience. After leaving Satara Rest Camp, our anticipation grew as we had heard glowing reviews about the camp's beauty. Upon arrival, Tamboti lived up to its reputation as one of the few wild camps, with safari tents strategically placed along the Timbavati River, offering breathtaking views. Exploring the surroundings, we encountered incredible wildlife, with the highlight being our first glimpse of a leopard on this trip. The sunsets were nothing short of spectacular, adding to the overall enchantment of our stay. Tamboti Tented Camp left such an impression on us that we will be back. #DustBugs #adventuretravel #southafrica #southafricavlog #travelongravel #krugernationalpark #tamboti

Hi from New Zealand. Visited Kruger 60 years ago, driving a canvas topped MG,! Fearless UCT students! Until your wonderful journey, never realised the scale of Kruger, the varied landscapes, the animal varieties. Now a kiwi in his 80s, your trip has been a revelation. Safe travel. Jim

We are loving this trip! Firstly my wife’s favourite camp is also olifants, sadly we experienced a sighting that has stayed with us. On our drive up to olifants we came across a huge male in the road. We found out that he was injured in a fight with several other males. Every time we left camp and returned we passed him and watched as he slowly died over several days .It is a memory that has stayed with us. We celebrate life and mourn the dead. Life in the Africa bush.

Happy Birthday Curtis. There cannot be a better place on earth than the KNP to spend one's birthday 🤗. Man, did your potato crisp rolls spark a sudden desire to do the same. My favourite has, since student days some fourty years ago 🤭, been salt and vinegar flavoured crisps on sliced, buttered white bread (very fresh) rounded off with coffee! Like manna from heaven 👌. I hope you enjoyed. I certainly did 😏.

Oh my goodness, what an amazing nerve wracking trip for me, animals for Africa😊, many blessings on you bday Curtis & happy anniversary 🎉. My younger brother as a teenagers used to go on surfing weekends with his group of friends, of course being the older sister I would make sure they were eating so would drive to beach with a supply of bread rolls & crisps which became known as " Surfer rolls", still to this day popular @ school snoepies 😄😄🚙

Also the tent facility - excellent and pure plaas. So true what you said you never get fedup with the Kruger. One could live there if it was pissible. Well done and till the next one.....

You guys will be able to say you were there during the Great Lion Plague of 2023! (That said, you have some eagle eyes in the car, so you're going to see a lot of things the rest of us miss.) And a Badger! Ratel, really. That's also the proper English name. Or "African Wolverine" if you want to name it after some Northern beastie. As long as they don't visit, they're nice to have around. (I mean as in as long as the don't decide there's something they want in the same tent as you.)

De zebra peuter is voor mij de ster van deze episode, inderdaad wat een schattige fluffy stuff over de nek en rug 🦓🤩. De olifantjes zijn ook heel komisch, onderling elkaars ‘krachten meten’ en ondertussen een soort gracieuze ballet show met hun slurfen uitvoeren 🐘. En de foto van de leeuwenkop, wow stuur die toch eens op naar een foto wedstrijd, volgens mij maak je dan echt kans op een prijs. Last but not least, leuk dat de one and only Dusty ook even ‘in het zonnetje’ werd gezet met prachtig uitzicht 👍🐻 Als ook jij zelf Curtis, je werd er duidelijk even verlegen van haha, terecht dat Sonia aandacht gaf aan je verjaardag, en hopelijk many more to come 🎉

I'm absolutely loving your Kruger videos! I feel like I'm there. I haven't been to the park for about 7 years or so since we moved to Australia. We will be coming to Kruger in April/May 2024 when we visit family in South Africa. Can't wait.

Happy Birthday to you Curtis! What a blessing to celebrate your birthday and anniversary in the Kruger. Sitting at Nsemani Dam, once again, brought so many wonderful memories back of times with my folks there. Tambotie looks like a wonderful camp. What wonderful sightings you had. There are lots of ellies in the Kruger. Looking forward to the next episode.

Hi you two, master game spotter and master braaier! What a lovely trip again. I have no words to describe it. After your videos, when next I go to the KP, I'm definitely going to spend more time on focusing on birdlife as you have now taught me. Congrats on 6 December. May there be many more days to share with Sonia (and, of course, with your fans on KZfaq!) I'm ready for the next outing. Keep safe!

Adding to my previous post, this year in May on my birthday we were travelling on the s3 towards Pretorius kop when we noticed the Mishawu dam which was previously closed was now open to visitors. It is a beautiful dam and we parked to enjoy the view. We noticed an elephant on the far side in the water .we soon realised It was not enjoying the water but was in fact trapped. It seemed that its hind leg was trapped or broken .It struggled and soon lost its fight and drowned. This happened in minutes and left us distraught. We were planning a breakfast at Pretoriuskop but this put a damper on the birthday.

Hi. Thank you so much for your video's. Just wanted to ask, why are you not sending up your drone. Is it not permitted in the park? It would be awesome though.
@DustBugsTravel 5 ай бұрын
Drones aren't permitted in any National Park and, although I think Kruger must be an awesome sight from above, I totally get that drones flying about would disturb the peace-and-quiet in this magical place and, even worse, spook the wildlife. 😍

We never see Sonia. You encourage me to visit the Kruger National park. What is cost of your petrol bill so far driving from Cape Town to your current position
@DustBugsTravel 5 ай бұрын
Sonia isn't keen on being filmed. 🥰 That's why you'll only see me until she hopefully changes her mind one day. I haven't gotten around to adding up all our trip expenses yet, but I would think a fairly accurate guesstimate would be about R5k on fuel from Strand to Tamboti. It has to be kept in mind that we used a very small, economical Renault Kwid, so that plays a big role in keeping fuel costs down to a minimum. 🚙 You should definitely think of visiting the Kruger National Park, you will love it from beginning to end. 😍

Hi Curtis en Sonia. Ek antwoord in Afrikaans. Dit is pragtige video. Wat Sonia sê hier by 44 minute rond, is baie waar. Ek doen dit nog. Somtyds sit ek Cheetos op, of Doritos. Op skool (1975) kon sommige van ons pouses uitgaan. Dan het ons afgesak na kafee toe waar ons halwe katkop, tjips en Coke gekoop het. Ek weet nie waar die naam vandaan kom nie - dit was basies uitgeholde witbrood met slaptjips in. Jy behoort dit te ken. ( Dit is seker nie vêr verwyderd van die Britte se Chip Butty af nie.)
