CLAUDIA & CARSTEN'S WORLD EXPEDITION

Re-entering South Africa

The Kruger gallery is placed here to give continuity to South Africa on the website, but this part of the trip actually happened after Swaziland. Entering SAF through Beit Bridge was VERY different compared to the Namibian side. Here is where all Zimbabwe, Mozambique and other African Nationals enter South Africa, so we were the only white people in the queue and the customer service was not really "service" oriented.
