    The Kumuka was an excellent way to see the wildlife of Kruger National Park. The high vantage point allowed you to see over the top of the vegetation and also allowed for excellent views of some of the animals that attempted to hide in the roadside vegetation. This vantage point allowed for excellent photo opportunities by opening windows in total safety.

  • A Dik-Dik at Letara Camp - Kruger National Park
    A Dik-Dik at Letara Camp
    by Bwana_Brown

    Our no frills rental car served us well during our 2-week 4000 km (2500 mile) excursion around a small part of South Africa! You will find that the roads in Kruger are a combination of very good paved roads as well as not so bad unpaved ones (this could change during the rainy season!). All of the Camps have petrol (gas) stations where you can fill up without problems. Note that the speed limit in the Park is 50 kph (30 mph) because you never know when game will decide to exercise its right of road-crossing! In our case, we had no Transportation problems at all (for more details on our car, see my 'South Africa' page). This photo shows a friendly Dik-Dik that was wandering around Letara Camp while we recharged our video camera batteries - they had conked out just as we saw a lion about to try to mate with a lioness!

    We entered Kruger through the Paul Kruger gate near Skukuza Camp. From there we drove north for our first night at Satara Camp. The next day we meandered north by way of Olifants and Letaba Camps before reaching the new Mopani Camp where we spent two nights. Following that, we exited Kruger near its centre at Phalaborwa and then, because of time constraints, drove south on highways outside the Park. We then re-entered the Park at the Numbi gate near Pretoriuskop Camp, from which we drove across the very dry southern part of the park before exiting at Crocodile Bridge. By then, it was getting late in the day and we were lucky to find great accommodations in Nelspruit (see my South Africa page for details on that one!).

    The Tazz! (photo by Cliff)

    We rented a small Toyota Tazz from Budget at Johannesburg airport and drove to Kruger via the town of Sabie and a tour of The Escarpment. The highway system in South Africa is very similar to the Interstate highway system in the US. The roads are in excellent condition and getting around is very easy. Rest stops along the way are clean and well run. It took us 4 hours to get to Sabie, where we spent the night. The next day we took our time touring the Escarpment (Blyde River Canyon) before heading down to Hazyview toward Kruger. Our original plan was to stay at one of the all-inclusive resorts inside of Sabie Sand Game Reserve, which is adjacent to Kruger on the western side. But what we didn't know was that in order to get through the gate to Sabie Sand, you have to have already made reservations at one of the resorts. With no reservations, we were out of luck. So we decided to spend our first night inside of Kruger. We made it to the Paul Kruger Gate a little after 5:00 PM. Since it was so late in the day and the park gates, as well as the camp gates close at 6:00, the reception office called ahead to Skukuza Camp for us to make a reservation since Skukuza was the closest camp. It all worked out fine and we had a good stay at Skukuza before moving on.

    The closest airport to Kruger is Mpumalanga airport in Nelspruit. Its about a 40 minute drive from the park. From here you can catch a plane to Johannesburg with other domestic and international connections there.

  • THE
    THE "BEFORE" PICTURE IN MANY
    SAFETY FILMS
    by DAO

    Let's face it, getting to South Africa is not cheap and Kruger National Park is MASSIVE. It has well laid out and signposted roads, free road maps and plenty of places to stop (meals, toilets, etc.). There are plenty of places to buy guidebooks on the animals and their habits. A good guidebook even tells you where in the park to find the animals you want to see during different times of the year. Do you need to spend big money on an animal expert who drives you around the roads? NO! Invest your savings in a better camera and get driving! And stay in the car! Please use the link below for the best Car Rental Business in Southern Africa The picture was staged to show you the dangers and what not to do. We risked our safety to help fellow VT’ers!

    You can travel around Kruger in a car or you can take a trip in one of the many 4x4 safari vehicles. These are highly recommended as you can't take a personal vehicle off the paved roads in Kruger.
