It has been and is amazing. Chilled, enjoyable, accessible and a super high animal spotting success rate. It is a strange mixture of incredible landscapes, thousands of animals (reckon we've seen most of the 18,000 Zebra) and South African family camping holidays.
Our campsite last night was a bit random. 30 odd sites for camping all full with 4*4's and trailers that turn into small houses.
The safari's have been proper cool. The herds are huge and it is a really easy place to get around. I guess some purists might be put off by that but we've found it brilliant.
The park is enormous and is based on waterholes connected by a network of gravel roads.
The openness and scrub landscape make it feel quite barren, but bathed in sunlight it was beautiful. The pan itself is like a brown and green sea from a distance. It drew us back plenty to just look at it.
As we knew our readers would want it confirmed, Cross and Bray took one for the team and tested the pan. We also dont just believe what we read and wanted to know whether it really was salty.
There were very different styles. Bray went for selecting a rock and tasting. Cross a full press up position licking arrangment.
Same outcome. Salty.
The pan also gave us some photo opportunities we felt we couldn't miss. Animals wise we will let the photo's tell that story. pretty successful though.
