It takes a l-o-n-g time to get to Kruger National Park when you drive because of all the potholes...everywhere...potholes...big potholes! It took me a while to figure out that everywhere else...most of Botswana, all of Namibia, and western and central South Africa have good to great roads. But eastern South Africa has so many potholes that you have to drive extremely slowly. Everyone complains, too. Near the end of our adventure, it dawned on me why the potholes never got fixed. Drivers are being trained to slow down, no matter where you come from, because when you drive down a road, you are never sure when an animal might make an appearance right in front of you. Drivers need to be ready to stop, and potholes are the way to do it!
