The laundry last night, we have now hung up in the car and shop to Hluhluwe and get some money went. From there, everything on top tar road directly to the border in Golela. The stamps we had quickly, the Roadtax is R50, and we were in Swaziland. Again, the roads are very good.
Thus we reached the "Hlane Royal NP" as early as two. We booked two nights at the "Ndlovo Camp" and later went like a first time on game drive. Unfortunately the cheetahs and lions in a separate part of the park. How to book a guided tour, we would need more than to see antelope.
Sun gabs today first to see "only" Impala, Nyala, Wildebeest, Moschusböckchen and warthogs.

Gamedrivetag - We drove around all morning in the park and saw yesterday, many antelope. When we in the afternoon to the waterhole at the camp were there were all great "horror" gathered - Elephant, rhinoceros and hippopotamus:
All in all, but we were somewhat disappointed by the "Hlane NP". The advertising promises as much more ...

This morning we drove to Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary ". This is the Park, the Ted Reiley (the father of the "Big Game Park in Swaziland) was founded as the first added. We booked two nights here and looked at times in camp. The "Ablutionblock" (toilet and shower) is a little far away, but otherwise quite ok songwriter. Later we took a small round "game drive". We were on the 4x4 route on the grounds and it was quite amusing (although few animals, but that beautiful "offroad"). On the way back we made a detour to the "Reiley Rock" (inner fenced area of the park), where we personally met Ted Reiley (he f & # 228; leads Incidentally, a Toyota Land Cruiser J4 :-)) and also a few light stone and some antelopes oribi saw.
Later in the camp we visited three Nyala.
two Dutchmen with a Defender also arrived yet, they are the other route, 1.5 years ago and were now down in East Africa. Now they have two more weeks to go until the car by container and by plane home.

from ten to eleven, we have now rented mountain bikes and are thus on Game Drive. It's about the time quite warm and we got a good sweat. We saw zebra, impala, nyala, blesbok and a large crocodile. Unfortunately we had no camera with me.
then we did laundry and sat around the rest of the day.

A black day - first we lost on the way to the border, the radio antenna, and then I'm in Nelspruit in the supermarket parking lot when reversing a small car to overlook. The now has a nice dent and I have a few scratches in the bumper. We then exchanged addresses and I hope that which ended in Namibia liability insurance covers the damage (is a South African insurance that covers all countries in Southern Africa). Then we looked for a campsite (Camping Safubi has no more) and finally landed in the "Nelspruit Backpackers". Here in Nelspruit we now make a few errands before it goes into the Kruger National Park.
