For all those travelling on holiday this December | January. Travel safe and have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year. 

Hoping you will all provide feedback on the various campsites you visit. 

 

Likewise Meneer, Where are you heading? I will be going camping on 2nd week of January in Morgan’s bay, will do day trips to Trennerys and Haga haga. The rates would also be favourable. Those camping in this peak season, what is the going rate? 

We leave the end of Jan headed to Mossel Bay and intend taking several months to slowly return and then may even just pass by and keep going, not an any rush to return. :)

Thanks Brian, likewise, to you and your family

Also, to all other happy campers, stay safe and a blessed Christmas

Dieselfde vir julle, dankie Brian

Safe and happy travels to you all.

Happy and safe traveling to you all. Have a blessed Christmas and happy new year from a 44C Crocodile Bridge.

We plan to do Namibia and Botswana again next year for about 4 months.

Has anyone seen anything about SANParks “Long Stay” discounts in 2025?

Where are you heading Richard?

For many years, during my working career, we had (as usual for employees) the annual Christmas and New Year holidays elsewhere. Expensive, yes, but it was "that time of the Year" when we could rest and (initially) keep the kids happy. After the kids went their own way, we still kept up the tradition - holidaying at Christmas! At least this meant relaxation - even at high cost - at the end of the year.

Then, happiness, retirement!! Now we felt, we could choose our break-away time when it is not so expensive ... and we could stay at home during the festive period. This way we could still enjoy the "break" by going to lunch and dinner, braai, visit places of interest and so forth ....... hah .... what a bore! Decided not to go that route again. Everybody gone and we are sitting at home? No ways! Think this is an inborn thing .....

So, we've been back into the festive and holiday mood for the past couple of years. Camped at  Soetdoring for the past three years over this period but decided to venture elsewhere for this year ........ Tava Lingwe!!

Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas and Prosperous New Year everyone!!

 

 

I have been communicating with a senior person at Sanparks re the expired discounts still showing and the 'missing' 2025. There may not be Long Term discount, they may still be seeing how full/empty they are going to be.

Instead I took advantage of the Black Friday rates .... mostly much better than the Long Term stay and a full month was not required and it covered periods not usually included in the Long Term Stay.

Basically February - KTP (Twee Revieren);

March MZNP;

April Camdeboo enroute to Karoo NP;

and May Bontebok.

We are yet to do Namibia and Botswana.

Well, we're going to Remainia. So, to all of you going caravanning, we wish you all that you wish yourselves and above all, be safe.

Want to hear all about your travels in the new year.

Thanks for the the invite, I would be in touch 

Thanks Richard.

Do I understand correctly - Romania? If so, where in Romania? Just curious, because my daughter and family lives there (for more than 21 years).
