While traveling the scenic Panorama Route, you may come across this historic signboard commemorating the Trichardt-Potgieter expedition. This plaque marks a significant moment in Voortrekker history.

Close to this spot, a group of Voortrekkers, led by Trichardt and Potgieter, set up camp by the river while some of the men ventured out to search for a way down the steep escarpment. Days turned to weeks, and when the scouting party didn’t return at the expected time, the waiting group feared the worst. In their sorrow, they named the river near their camp the Treur River ("River of Sorrow").

But the story didn’t end there. The men eventually returned, having successfully found a route. Overcome with relief and joy, the reunited party renamed another nearby river the Blyde River ("River of Joy"). These names remain today as part of the emotional and geographical history of the region.

We have had some wonderful rain over the last week that has slowly transformed the very dry Kruger region.

Signs of life are now showing, and we are reminded that the bush is extremely resilient as seasons come and seasons go.

We are excited for the summer as we gear up for a busy year-end.

See you out there!

We recently spent some time traveling up north on the R71, in the heart of the beautiful Limpopo Province. As history enthusiasts, we were excited to discover a fascinating site where, on April 30, 1901, the last Long Tom cannon was destroyed.

These formidable cannons were used by the Boers during the Anglo-Boer War against the British forces, who were vastly superior in numbers. The Boer forces, fully aware of the power these cannons held, chose to destroy them rather than let them fall into British hands.

On this hill, as the British advanced, the Boers packed the last operational Long Tom with dynamite, blew it to pieces, and left a sizable crater that can still be seen today.

Just over a year later, in May 1902, the Anglo-Boer War came to an end with the signing of the Treaty of Vereeniging. Despite their fierce resistance, the Boers were ultimately defeated, and the British established control over the former Boer republics.

As the vegetation thins and dries, and waterholes diminish, we're reminded that the dry season is upon us once again. These drier winter months present a challenging time for all creatures, testing their endurance and resilience. It's a harsh reality of nature that not all will make it through, echoing the age-old saying that only the strong survive.

Experts explain that this natural selection ensures that only the most capable animals thrive, which ultimately strengthens the species as a whole. It's a tough, yet fascinating aspect of the natural world, reminding us of the resilience required to endure and prevail.

In any case, for those seeking a safari experience, this may be the best time to visit. Witnessing the raw beauty and brutal honesty of nature firsthand can be a profoundly impactful experience.
