Is Hunters road still an option these days (after the last hoohaa)?

According to their plans, will still be open to drive until April 2014. We will see what happens. Two years ago the campsite was to be moved off Kubu and that still has not happened. African time

Neil do you have some idea of when you are planning the trip? ie does it include over Christmas time or early December....

WayneSchalk · Post by **WayneSchalk** » Mon Feb 17, 2014 8:17 am

The dates we have is between 13 December up to 3 January. SO have to plan it somewhere in there and decide for how long.

Whoever put in Senyati, ain't been there for a while. An absolute ripoff. Bookings are chaos, no maintenence and they only pump water for the ellies occasionally. I'll never go back. Going to Luiwa plains in Nov instead of Bots.

Noted,that's what is great about forums,live info feeds.
Thanks
