Borderline's School Trips to Kruger - With Homework

Post by Richprins »

Borderline gave me about 1000 blurred photos of his trips to Sand River Bush camp with school groups over the years, so best not to waste! \O

I will add some questions with each episode, in keeping with the educational theme! ..0..

Obviously I am not sure exactly what is going on with each offering, but can work most out! lol




Here they enter at Phabeni on a winter trip. Nyamundwa Dam:

The camp is on the Sand River, obviously, more later!

The popular vulture bathing place near there:

After unpacking the kids go on a game drive and guided walk! :-0


They often go on the S36, this is Manzimhlope I think, now defunct:

And then the walk begins, quite an astounding experience, according to Borderline.

The smaller things are not overlooked, of course!
