Trip Report Coming
« on: July 03, 2014, 07:56:27 PM »

Our last night at the Cape and sadly we leave tomorrow. All I can say is what another fantastic trip. We have just downloaded over 5000 pics to go over to add to the report plus videos. This report will feature a lot more pics to give people an idea of the fun we have on these trips.

Stay tuned.

 I'm looking forward to seeing more of this trip. Like everyone else I dream of going to the tip...one question though, how is it that there are no Crocs in that water? I'm not familiar with the north so please forgive my ignorance. Cheers! Andrew

A lot of the rivers along the OTT are freshwater. There are crocs in the Jardine River and surrounding coastlines.

None at all.

I am half way through going through the 3000 pics. Unbelievable photos that will be on the report.

Well done to the photographers. :cup:

Renno,

Great to hear that you made it back home safe and sound, I got the link and I must say, for someone who was spinning the story that you aren't that good at photography above the waterline - your shots are nothing short of stunning.  Fabulous work.

I can't help but post up this one below.
