One detail I did not mention in the previous post was that on they way into camp the previous evening we stopped at the Gate and paid for a sunset drive the following night . It was the first time we have ever been stationary at a Gate literally at closing time .It was not a good experience for me as I realized how little security there is in KNP .To say that cars were allowed out unsearched or challenged was an understatement .The staff all had a serious case of going off shift I don't want to do anything to delay going home . The following evening would prove to be worse ...

The following morning we started with the same species from the day before

And a bigger fellow with a leak ..

We found this fellow impersonating a stick creature so we stopped to allow it to cross the road safely .

Image

A little further on we found a boon as happy as a pig in sh... or a boon in it having breakfast of bugs .

There is a general lack of serious supervisors in Kruger :evil:

I think it is impossible to check all vehicles at the evening exit rush, Rog...maybe they must declare they take a few vehicles off randomly and search them top to bottom? I feel for the gate staff in this respect? -O-

Disgraceful baboon! @#$
