Kruger, Shingwedzi Dec 17th - 19

Rain, fewer animals and the north of the park. Here it just rained and rained so we didn't even see the point on going out on many drives but we did do a short drive just before the gates closed along the river, it was very scenic and perfect leopard country but luck was not on our side. The following morning we heard a helicopter over the restaurant and later found out it had been bringing people in from one of the rustic camps to the north which had been flooded in so they were flying the people out to get some supplies and then flying them back in to ride out the wet until the river dropped enough to get back out. All sounded very cool but would this mean our rustic camp would be okay and would the border to Mozambique be re-opened (all of the gravel roads had been closed due to the rains!)
