Visiting Kruger National Park was a cool experience. It is so vast and it's incredible how quickly the scenery changes as you drive through the park. I think the one downside is that because it's so big, it's sometimes hard to pinpoint the location of animals. That said, we had a heard of 20+ elephants walk right in front of our jeep, which was one of the coolest things I've ever experienced. It is 100% worth a visit!

Having seen 4 out of all the Big 5, I could appreciate how challenging it was to find them. This is the appeal of wildlife safari. Being a national park, man-made features have been kept minimal, other than in rest camps. Speed limit has also been imposed for the safety of visitors and of animals.

It was a fantastic experience visit the park and stay close to wildlife, an old dream realised.
My wife and I left South Africa planning our return to the Kruger. We used accommodations, food, transportation and guide from Baluleli Safari Lodge and it was very good. We deciced this time of the year to avoid high temperatures and It worked very well, next time we will try during spring for a different scenery and more birdwatching. The park is very well organized and prepared to recieve tourists and showed strong interest in wildlife preservation.

The lodge, guide, food and wildlife were all wonderful. Dont hesitate to book with Kruger Park Travel. Their response to any inquiries was pretty fast as well. Thanks again!

We personally liked sabi sands more. It feels wilder and less crowded with people. No concrete roads and nobody else driving around, only authorized safari drivers
An amazing experience, to be able to see wild animals in their own environment.
We stayed at the Imbali lodge in Kruger, very impressed with the accommodation & food.
The trip was several hours to get to the lodge which seems long , but i guess if you want to see the animals deep in the bush, you have to travel.
We were very fortunate as on our way to the lodge on the first evening, our guides manged to find a pride of lions in the darkness, very exciting!
Our guide was very good, she was informative, very enthusiastic & very patient which was needed when trying to find the elusive Rhino & get reasonably close to them.
Our weather was good.
We were very fortunate to see the big 5 plus a cheetah, Giraffe & many other animals... inc Wild dogs, Wart hogs, Buffalo.
It is certainly worth getting up early for the morning drive as its the best time of the day!
Would recommend a Safari & would certainly do another as I'm keen photographer & was able to capture some truly amazing animals in their natural habitat.

Kruger National Park has beautiful scenery with mountains, plains, and rivers. There is a very wide variety of wildlife to view. The staff at Kruger National Park seems to be vigilant regarding the safety of the animals within the park.
12 days photographic trip to Kruger National Park
The wildlife in the park at times was a bit sparse, which could have been because of the drought when i was there but we always found something around the next corner, but mostly plenty of animals around.The first few hours every morning was the most productive.The accommodation was clean and tidy. At Oilfants it worth getting a bungalow with a view of the river. You could get what you needed from the shops (milk, bread, meat, sweats). The restaurants where fine, not a lot of options but the steaks where the most consistent over 4 camps and was cooked perfectly.I would highly recommend a self drive trip to the Kruger Park, and staying 2 to 3 nights in each camp so you can get the most from each area.The weather was around 26 to 36c most days with one night off rain. To get the best from a trip to Kruger you need to put the time in and keep looking and at times just stop and just wait.

The Kruger National Park safari was a very intense adventure full of exciting moments.
I was lucky because I could observe and photograph many animals and birds. I stayed very well at a lodge at Marlot Park, near the Crocodile Bridge Rest Camp. The safari guide was very competent and gave me all the information about the animals encountered. The park is very vast and the camps are very well organized.
The Gem of South Africa
Took me two days to find the big 5 and saw a abundance of other wildlife including beautiful birds at the different hides throughout the park. Some places have amazing scenery like the Most Southern Baobab and the Fever Tree forest up in the north of the park. Weather was sunny with high temperature, had a few days of rain aswell but mostly clear sky’s. Chalets were clean and cleaned while driving for the day. Food is great in Skukuza and Lower Sabie but other camps like Satara was not the standard you would expect but still decent enough. We drove with our own vehicle and it was fruitful. Most leopards were spotted in the south of the park. I would recommend going to Kruger if your native to South Africa or from abroad, I can guarantee you won’t be disappointed.
