Thank you Mel I forgot to mention Bookworms friend(Pieter) is also joining us and to make it more of a adventure is that he's never been to Kruger

What do you think of Tsendze so far?

Rodger is on leave but we met Evilina and her husband who says hi

Wow Tsendze is GREAT, unfortunately they were burning the grass in a controled fire and the smoke was really bad, so now we will have to go on other routes that was not burned
