It was our first night in a camper and in the National park with magnificent view, tranquility. Caravan site was really nice.
tranquil surrounding,excellent service and a lovely chalet
We know more or less all the park in SA but had not been to KNP. So off we went , took a leisurely drive from Stellenbosch to the KNP and stayed for 5 days in a well equipped chalet . Knowing more or less all other SA park.s ,we ob visually compared everything with our experience in other parks.
In short: if you are looking for relaxing place, then that is the place for you. It defiantly was for us !
wildlife: much more then we expected, had a Rhino 100 meter in front of us,Lion up the mountain pass and all the other animals and birds.
Scenery: absolutely stunning.
Weather : the way you expect in March
Accommodation: super
Food: very good and plenty full, very friendly staff.
Transportation: very clean and modern car for outdoor drives with a good guide.
Highlights: Our whole stay was a highlight . One of it was a bit more special when we were alone with a ranger at "Doornkoek Picnic|Braai Area ", had a lovely braai and could ask all the questions only a "Tourist" want to ask .
Summary: We loved it so much that we are now booked in again end of August 2019 , this time even with a longer stay than last time.

What a drive we had through the Karoo - the scenery is outstanding. For camera enthusiasts, you simply don't know which way to focus.

Very nice place where to go around fro our, to see incredible starry skies
The landscape is gorgeous and the accommodations are lovely - all have a great view of the buttes at sunset. Lions have been reintroduced into the park now.

The Karoo is a unique biome and if you enjoy the spectacular peace and quiet of the semi desert with its abundance of specially adapted plants, animals and insects this is for you. Nice pool and good restaurant - and some ancient fossils on display.
I usually stay here on the way to Cape Town and love the scenery, the karoo lamb and the peaceful atmosphere.There are some interesting fossils of dinosaurs still embedded in rock.
