-Hello, Julia.
-Good to see you.
-Nice to meet you.
-So you got loaded up?
-Absolutely.
Jacques Bardenhorse is my guide for the next two days, a game arranger since 1992. He knows the Kruger like few others and specializes into taking walking groups out into the wilderness. The moment you step outside Burger dale rest camp,...
