    Travelling by car vs. tourbus etc. is a great way to see the park. If you're renting, try and get something relatively high, such as a minibus or SUV, it really helps with the tall grass.

    You're expected to stay in the car at all times, except for some designated lookout spots and bridges.

    Try and keep to the speed limits, as they do sometimes trap in the park.

    good gameviewing from a 4x4

    How higher you are the more you can see. Because you are not looking straight in the high grass but over it. That is why the safaritrucks are high. If you want to have your own transport a 4x4 will do the trick. You can see over the grass and over other cars in front of you.

    Not all roads open to caravans

    Not all roads are open to caravans or Motor homes, and when there are heavy rains some roads may be closed.

    TO GET IN AND AROUND MPUMALANGA ONE NEEDS A TRUCK OR BAKKIE AS WE CALL THEM, AS A LOT OF THE PLACES CARS ARE TO LOW TO GET THROUGH, AS I DISCOVERED. MANY PLACES I HAD TO TURN BACK.
