40 Reviews This may not be easy, surely at K.N.P. it is not difficult. The big five are -- Lion Leopard Rhinoceros Wild Buffalo Elephant We saw all of them at one go in when we went on a Guided Sunset Game Drive. We also spotted the Big 3 so many times during our drives there, but the big cats we got to see...
33 Reviews We stuck to the main tar Road between Berg en Dal to Skukuza and had no trouble at all in spotting plenty of animals. We saw plenty of birds and animals. Twice we just missed a leopard. The car in front of us had spotted it. We stopped over at Afsaal resting camp. We stopped at Afsaal to use the...
51 Reviews It is confusing there's lots of accommodation and lots of tours, I used to own a backpackers lodge in Pretoria and used to sort out safaris for people, so I'll try go through all your questions 1 at a time, some answers may over lap though: TOUR COMPANIES 1, you can self drive: hire a car, book your...
13 Reviews You should take a game drive that is guided. You must remember that spotting animals is a matter of luck and no one can very well predict spotting them, but given the abundance of wildlife in Kruger, save for the big cats like Lion and Leopard, you have a high probability of seeing all the other...
6 Reviews I’ve been planning and waiting for the walking safari since I was booking the flights and, yes, it was just fantastic. You wake up before sunrise, have a quick warm drink and off to the savannah. Walking there in the nature, trying to be silent, listen to the sound on the birds and the nature was...
19 Reviews There are so many beautiful birds to be seen in Kruger. While getting excited about the animals we were equally thrilled to see so many colourful birds. We spotted the Great African Vulture, Eagle owl, Lilac breasted Roller, A bird that had 2 shades of blue whose name I do not know, Pelicans of some...
5 Reviews Pack some food and head on to one of the many scenic spots near your camp. It is a sure way to have some fun. The Afsaals trading rest house between Berg en Dal and Skukuza is one such place to stop by with family. You can cook a barbecue meal there or carry your cooked food or buy some food there....
9 Reviews All of the major rest camps offer night and early morning game drives. For R100 per person (about $15 USD), you get a 3 hour tour of the surrounding park area back roads in an open-air bus, often spotting some wildlife that you might not see during the day. Things we saw on game drives that we...
24 Reviews Shell Ultra City N4 highway at Middelburg is on the main route from to Johannesburg and Pretoria to the Kruger National park. Thieves are using car lock jamming devices to block the signal to auto lock your cars . Myself and three other friends of mine have been robbed recently of our personal...
8 Reviews I fly about once a fortnight on business :( and as often as I can for pleasure :), but let me confess up front that although its an integral part of my life, I just don't like flying. And I really don't enjoy airports one little bit. Which is why I find it somewhat strange to be writing about my...
9 Reviews Transport within the park has to be done either with Safari Company or with your own vehicle. In the environment of Kruger Park unlike the Etosha Park in Namibia, where the grass is lower and there are hardly any trees, the safari vehicles are more appropriate because they are elevated and the view...
9 Reviews Do I have your attention? Good. Most of South Africa is Malaria free. However, Kruger National Park has Malaria and the mosquitoes to infect you with it. My doctor once told me that 1 million Europeans a year get Malaria! And it can be very fatal after just one mosquito bite. Please do not take...
11 Reviews Do not let children tease elephants, these animals are wild animals, and plz keep distance with car. Do not follow elephants, always allow elephants right of way, drive off slowly if they get too near, do not cut off their path especially when there are more than one car, do not stop between a...
7 Reviews (work in progress) Vistors are not allowed to drive off road is allowed in any of South Africa's national or provincial game reserves. In private reserves, game rangers may take vehicles off road - for example, to view animal kills - but this is the exception rather than the rule and is only allowed...
18 Reviews To help you spot more animals try looking for what should NOT be there. For example, is that solitary dark tuft of grass in the distance really a tuft of grass or a lion lying low? Is that grey object in the distance a boulder or a rhino? So scan the area and try to see what stands out as odd or...
