Sorting through my photos of weekends in the Kruger over a period of at least 30 years I decided to share some. Been visiting the Kruger since I was 16 years old with my parents. After getting married introduced my wife and kids to the Kruger. I have seen many a change take place in the Kruger some good and some not to good. Kruger gate was non existent and Orpen gate was deemed inaccessible. Certain times of the year the northern areas was closed due to road conditions and flooded rivers.

Old Kruger
by: Jenny

I like hearing your stories of old Kruger the way you remembered it. Things have changed over the years but it is still a fantastic park to visit. Thanks for sharing your pics and stories with us Lourens.

"It's 768 pages of the most amazing information. It consists of, well, everything really. Photography info...area info...hidden roads..special places....what they have seen almost road by road. Where to stay just outside the Park...camp information. It takes quite a lot to impress me but I really feel that this book, which was 7 years in the making, is exceptional."            - Janey Coetzee, founder of CAROK (Camps and Roads of Kruger)  South Africa
