RIP Kruger

Kruger on the Ngorongoro Crater rim

Kruger, our old but reliable car, has finally let out his last breath.

He drove us around Botswana for 5 years in the bush, and then took us on a memorable 6000km trip from Gaborone to Dar es Salaam, through some of the most awesome wildlife parks, and some of the worst roads, all with no problems.

With over 350,000km on the clock of this petrol 4x4, with no modifications to the engine, he's broken down suprisingly few times.  But the mechanics of Dar es Salaam have finally got the better of him.  And after 3 major breakdowns in 6 months, he is now well beyond repair. 

RIP Kruger, you have served us well!
