Once through beit Bridge border, which only took us 30 minutes to get through in total, we headed towards the Kruger Park’s most northern gate, Pafuri , as we intended staying over at the Punda Maria camp. About 500 metres from the entrance to the Tshipese mineral hot water springs resort, one of our rear tyres totally burst, taking part of the cars plastic moulding and a rear light cover with it!
Needless to say we decided to spend the night at Tshipese instead and Marc enjoyed relaxing in the hot water after changing the tyre. We also figured out that we would never have made the camp concerned before the gates closed, so all worked out well in the end.
