there are loads of gift shops at all the main camps through out the park , but the only thing is they are very expensive with everything we bought a red bull and energy drink in the park it cost us R20 , out side the park you can buy one for about R9 even books on the park are dearer in the park than outside .....
anything and everything
twice the actual price out side the park Leave a Comment Theme: GiftsAddress: kruger parkDirections: mpumalanga

 I feel bad for this lion. On
sale at Skukuza. by diver-x
I'd stay away from buying local crafts at Kruger. You can get much better deals on the same exact stuff outside the park. In general, you'd pay at least twice the amount for a craft item inside the park as you would at a roadside market outside the park.
We bought our daily supplies of snacks for the road and wine at night at the camp shops.
When we were there, the currency conversion was approx R6.70 = $1.00 USD. Here's what you can expect to pay for some miscellaneous items:
Energy bars: R4.60
Candy bar: R4.75
Bag of Trail Mix: R13.50
Bottle of wine: R41.25
1.5 litre of water: R4.65
Coke Light (340ml can): R4.40
Coke Light (2 liter bottle): R13.50
Small wedge of cheese snack: R1.80
Small box of cookies: R11.25
Cork screw: R15.35
Souvenir fridge magnets: R30.00 each Leave a Comment

 Typical ethnic design on cloth by Jenniflower
They dont have the variety though of course, so buy what you can form them and browse the retails shops within the KNP too for extra gifts you might like.
Handcrafted items like jewellery, baskets, sculptured wooden animals, linens, candles, clothing etc. There are many, and of excellent quality.
I would have about a R100 budget for gift shopping per day... at least! Leave a Comment Theme: Local CraftAddress: At the KNP gates throughout the parkPhone: +27 (21) 424 1037Directions: At the KNP gates throughout the parkWebsite: http://www.krugerpark.org/ Other Contact: http://www.sanparks.org/

 elephant dung has just the
right size by tompt
If this sounds to dirty you can also buy paper made out of elephant dung.
An elephant dung box complete with a small amarula bottle and glas costs about 300 Rand (ca. 30 US Dollar, or 30 Euro) Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Just a small variety of things that you would expect to find in a gift shop. But with an African flair of course. Leave a Comment Theme: Gifts

There are also stores at the main rest camps that offer food, liquor and gifts. I have heard others say that food at the stores is very expensive, but I did not see a HUGE difference in the prices at KNP than I have at the Pick n¡¦ Pay in Cape Town. Though Skukuza was more expensive than the other rest camps we visited. (Bottled water was 15R instead of 5R!) We did bring along our own food such as fruits, nuts and raisins, bread, peanut butter and crackers! Than again we were on a budget. ƒº Leave a Comment Theme: Other
