    Hey thanks for sharing!
    - can you tell me what is the power/ load shedding situation in the camps? How long were the cuts and did the generators always work?

      Hello, I'm glad you enjoyed the content. When I camped in Satara end May and now August/September in Shingwedzi and Pretoriuskop, the generators kicked in. Heard it humming in Satara and Pretoriuskop but no noise in Shingwedzi. Had power and absolutely no problem. 😊

      Apologies we were on stage 3 so ran for 2 hours in the day, and depending on the time slot for the area, if the next 2 hour loadshedding timeslot was between the hours 22h00 - 5h00 they did not switch the generator on in Pretoriuskop but will switch on around 07h00 in the morning. But this created very little inconvenience, carry a torch, have a flask with boiling water to make a cup of tea, listen to the birds and before you know it the power is on again 🐾

      @@ladyandherlandy Thanks - not sure what the stages are, so generators will not come on at night? Asking because we come in December, and without fans/ air con it's going to be very warm, not to say that food/ meat in the fridge would be tricky

      @RG....... stages 1 to 3 is maximum 2 hours of loadshedding per day and impact low. Stages 4 to 6 ramps up to two or 3 sets of loadshedding per 24 hours and can range between 3 to 4 hours of loadshedding so off for 4 on for 6 hours. The generators in the entire Kruger National was reliable and did come on and switch over was automatic. Except in Pretoriuskop as the camp staff drove out to the generator outing the camp to switch over manually. The shops were run well and had cold items, frozen and fresh foods and ice all the time. Which camps are you visiting?
