The campsite has 15 sites , no electricity
ie. no fools with floodlights, aircons and TV . Just peace and quiet at night and darkness. This camp has all the night sounds and calls, Lion, Hippo, Elephant rumbling tummies, Hyeanas and Jackal.Titus the kamp komandant, lights up lanterns at night for the the spotlessy clean ablutions and kitchen he maintains. Titus is from the old school, takes pride in his work and is early on his duties cleaning braai grids , and emptying dustbins., sweeping raking ect ect.
Please dont tell a lot of people about Balule, the best kept secret of KNP.
Gameviewing is excellent in this part of the park,its on the Savanna and Mopani veld boundary.Its one of the dryest Septembers I have witnessed. Pools and streams all dry.
The migratory birds has arrived , and the birdviewing is excellent. Spotted a new one on my list, the open billed stork.Raptors , they are all there.
Well game plentifull as allways, saw the big five, now I only call the big 5 if its a BLACK RHINO.
Fantastic sitings of lion daily, 3 different prides on one single day.
Leopards are full up,
saw a brotherhood of 3 cheetahs.
Big I mean big elephant bulls around Balule
What a place !!!!!!!!!!!
And than off course the the gravel roads hardly has traffic, because all the other cars and 4x4"s only stay on the tar road network
, whish I was there to photograph those lovely animals but some of us must work. Balule is one of my brother in law favorite places to go camping
