Magnificent stay as always.
Have been to Kruger many times over the last 30 years and it never disappoints. It's very easy to self drive but make sure you get off the tar onto the dirt roads. This time we were fortunate to see a cheetah with her 2 young Cubs who were playing around a tree all to ourselves.
Accommodation we stayed at Satara camp which is a good area to look for predators. The camp has recently had a facelift and though accommodation is simple it's comfortable. The restaurant has improved tremendously with the introduction of 'Mugg & Bean' in several camps. They have a very good selection of food and reasonably priced.
Suggest you visit outside school holidays as it then becomes too busy. It's a huge park so make sure you spend several days. We can also highly recommend the tented accommodation.
Review about Mala Mala Game Reserve by Sue
I liked Mala Mala a little bit better because it was easier to find and see more animals in a game ride.
A wonderful safari adventure was experienced and many cherished memories were made.
The Timbavati Nature Reserve safari was truly a magnificent adventure enjoyed very much by my daughter and myself. From the moment of our arrival at the airport, we were greeted and taken very good care by all whom we met. The Ngala Safari Lodge, which is part of &Beyond resorts, was most impressive! The individual thatched cottages were quite charming and we were beyond satisfied with every meal. With our remarkable ranger and tracker, we did see all the big five animals and so much more. Having the open jeep made the animal viewing much easier for all of us to see the animals. The highlight of the game rides was the breakfast in the bush! The staff managed to surprise us as we were out on a morning game ride when suddenly we came across a gorgeously laid out breakfast with table and chairs for all of us. Having been on several safari, I would definitely recommend the Timbavati Natual Reserve for a safari.

Way off the beaten track
This is a fantastic park to visit if you have already been to other, more popular, national parks in East /Southern Africa. It's not the kind of place where you will see a vast variety of animals (elephants being the main one here), though you will get to see a decent amount of different animals and birds, and not forgetting plenty of wonderful baobabs. What you will get, though, is the feeling that it's just you and your 4WD out in the vast wilderness, exploring somewhere truly remote. The roads are rough with lots of growth so that you often can't work out what is the road in front of you. But this just adds to the excitement.
The scenery is beautiful as well, so there are lots of upsides to this place.

Review about South Africa by Rothdigga
Ideally I would like to see all the animals that I shoot photos of as totally wild "not on reserves", but I realize that in South Africa that's just not available as much. The parks I've visited have been amazing and the birding is top notch.

Review about Tanzania by Sebastian
In Tanzania we found every animal we're expecting to see. The parks scenary are really diferent from one to the other, so we got really diferent experiences in each park we went to, despite we're looking for the same thing in all of them..., lions, cheetas, leopards, elephants, rinohs..., and their food, all managing to get along living together.

Review about Zimbabwe by Nicole
The national parks in Zimbabwe are set in different geographical locations which offer bush, lakeside, cliffs or mountains and makes it very interersting and varied to visit. Its low level of tourists keeps safari very wild and the guides are usually of great knowledge. Birding is wonderful, with over 650 species of birds recorded in the country. Besides, there is the cultural heritage which is worth a visit too, like Great Zimbabwe, or ancient bushman paintings to be found all over the country.

Review about South Africa by Glenda Hall
I loved South Africa, and I will definitely be back. September was a lovely time of year, not too hot. Loads of wildlife and birds (all beautifully coloured). A photographer's dream!
