Great for leopards, saw wild dogs, lions, very nice lodge
We stayed at Flat Dogs Camp just across the river from the Park for 5 nights. That is a lovely facility with great food. The elephants wander freely by the hatched-roof "tents". sometimes snacking on them. It was the dry season so most of the wildlife was crowded near the river which meant lots of wildlife sightings, but also quite a few other vehicles. Our drives away from the river had far fewer vehicles and found wild dogs, and other good wildlife. One nice feature is the park allows night drives (until 8pm) which were not allowed in Botswana parks. We greatly enjoyed seeing the nocturnal animals. The weather was warm but not too hot, there were almost no bugs. Everyone in our group of 7 had a great time there and highly recommend it.
Review about Kruger National Park by moonnuthatch
Birding and animals superb, but too commercialisedfor my liking. Understandable, but too many vehicles gather round the most notable animals.
Review about Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Game Reserve by moonnuthatch
Wildlife is superb but can be patchy. Bush is very thick in parts. Some superb scenery. Have no yet stayed in reserve camps.
quiet,peaceful and relaxed
Review already posted, by seperate report. Great chalets, superb scenery and great atmosphere. Great reserve for rhino and giraffe.
A quiet, peaceful and relaxed game reserve setting with superb scenery
We stayed 2 nights, en route from Kruger, via Wakkerstroom onwards to St Lucia. The chalet accommodation and camp was superb. We were unfortunate to be on the edge of a major storm, but nevertheless managed some good game driving with plenty of White Rhino, Giraffe, Zebra, Hartebeest and Wildebeest. We alsotook time to study the smaller animals and reptiles they are often neglected, but are equally enchanting. We met a Ranger who could not have been more knowledgeable about his passion, the Rhino. The scenery was amazing with superb vistas below the large cliff face, and generally it is much more open than some reserves. We had a bush braai at a very well maintained picnic stop in bush. Birdlife was a little disappointing, but that was merely due to the bad weather. I am sure had the sun been shining there would have been plenty of raptors. As with all game reserves in SA beware of the monkeys, they will sneak into the chalets or vehicles and thieve anything. Would love to go back again.
