Looking for tips on visiting the Kruger National park

[plazma]

Check your car tyres before starting this long trip. There should be about 4.

Ps Alf yes you may hunt your own food, provided its with a wooden (self made) spear or a slingshot.

The elephant is great this time of year. Also a giraffe or lion potjie is not to bad.

You'll want to avoid the "hunt, skin, chow" lion potjie option as it has been reported that 90% of the Kruger lions have feline aids (know where that comes from?).

lots of sunscreen, preferably in a car with aircon and make sure you put a ton of peaceful sleep/equivalent on have a fab trip ... the park is lovely!

I'd advise you to book if you want to stay in the park, especially this month. At peak times they even want you to book for day trips into the park. Two nights is a bit short - you definitely won't be able to do north and south in two days and see anything worthwhile. My favourite camps are Punda, Letaba and Lower Sabie (although it looks as though the character of Lower Sabie has changed since it was rebuilt).

Here are some pics taken in the winter of 2007. I stayed at Ngwenya and made day trips into the park. I must admit I wasn't too impressed with Ngwenya though.
