Kruger Park (South Africa) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Kruger Park in South Africa.
South Africa is famous for its exceptional natural beauty and amazing variety of flora and fauna and in this respect the Kruger National Park is somewhat akin to a modern day Noah's Ark.The park's Black Rhinos were once an endangered species due to ruthless poaching but now the park is a welcome sanctuary for these wonderful creatures and it also protects the Hyena as well as the African continent's most endangered predator, the Wild Dog. In the dry season most of the park's wildlife gathers around a few remaining waterholes and it is then the perfect time to observe the animals at close quarters.The fascinating fauna that is to be found in South Africa along with its incredible range of wildlife, scenery and unique ambience, deserves far more than just a flying visit. Since its inauguration a century ago this wildlife park has developed into a well organised enterprise with around six hundred employees who are responsible for maintaining the exceptional Kruger National Park, one of the last and most remarkable animal paradises on Earth.

Explore the national parks
--------------------------
SAN Parks (South African National Parks, sanparks.org) is responsible for 20 parks across the country, and its properties are much cheaper than privately operated lodges, including those that have their own concessions in the national parks.
The most traditional South African family holiday is a self-drive trip from Johannesburg to the 19,500 sq km (approximately the size of Wales) Kruger national park. Entrance for foreign adult visitors, called the standard conservation fee, is £18 a day (child £9). Bookings should be made online in advance (fee £1.20).
Accommodation options in the national parks range from campsites, huts and chalets to cottages and guesthouses, all bookable through the parks’ central website. In Kruger, sociable types can self-cater in one of the rest camps. The largest of these, Skukuza, offers cottages of various sizes, shops, a decent steakhouse chain restaurant, as well as play areas and swimming pools for families. A cottage for four costs from £138 a night.
Those who dream of a truly isolated bush experience might prefer an electricity-free tent at one of the wilderness camps, where only a low fence separates people from animals. At Tamboti, on the Kruger’s western edge, a two-person tent costs from £32 a night.
If getting that intimate with wildlife is too daunting, but regular camps are too big and crowded, a good compromise might be one of Kruger’s many bush camps: three of the most popular are Biyamiti, Shimuwini and Talamati. A bush cottage at Biyamiti, on the banks of the Mbiyamiti river, which comfortably sleeps a family of four, costs from £150 a night. Wild dog, white-tailed mongoose, cheetah and leopard are often seen around this camp.
Shimuwini is Shangaan for “home of the baobab” and refers to the huge 3,000-year-old trees that line the Letaba river. Cottages along the Shimuwini dam cost from £66 a night for two. At Talamati, residents enjoy the bonus of privacy, as only they are allowed to use its access roads, waterhole and hide. Cottages sleeping two cost from £66 a night. Giraffe, kudu, eland, impala, zebra, rhino and buffalo are all often to be seen from the cottages’ verandas.
The Kruger, like all the SANParks, is set up to make self-driving and self-catering holidays easy, even for novices. Managers and support staff are available around the clock at rest and bush camps, to ensure guests’ comfort and safety. Rangers are available to guide walks or drives, with rates from £12 per adult for a night drive from Skukuza. While groceries are available in the rest camps, the towns of Komatipoort and Malelane, with their supermarkets and off licences, are close by. Water at the bush camps comes from boreholes and is drinkable, but salty.
Visitors should note that the Kruger is in a malaria-risk area and that booking is recommended at least 11 months in advance, as the camps are very popular. Cancellations do occur, though, so it’s worth monitoring the site.
Fly to major airports
===================
Internal flights in South Africa, especially to airports close to remote bush destinations, such as Skukuza, Hoedspruit, Hazyview, Hluhluwe and Richard’s Bay, are expensive. Picking a safari close to a big city airport served by local low-cost airlines (Mango, Kulula, Safair) will bring the cost down significantly. Car hire all over South Africa is reasonably priced.
The malaria-free Pilanesberg national park, for example, is just two hours’ drive from central Johannesburg and 1½ from the city’s Lanseria airport. It is one of the most beautiful parks in the country, though its proximity to the huge Sun City holiday resort means it can be extremely busy at weekends and during school holidays. Visit during the week, when prices dip and the 550 sq km park is much less crowded. The Black Rhino Game Lodge has 18 detached suites overlooking a busy waterhole, from about £123pppn (low season), including two game drives and three excellent meals a day.
Walk in the morning
------------------------------
Africa on Foot, in the Klaserie private nature reserve, bordering the Kruger, is six hours’ drive from Johannesburg. The basic but comfortable camp offers guided big-five walking safaris every morning, and guided game drives in the evening. The Klaserie shares unfenced borders with the Kruger and guests can expect to encounter the big five, as well as wild dog, cheetah, honey badger, porcupine, aardvark, plus small cats – civet, caracal and serval. Guests can also request a night sleeping under the stars in the lodge’s treehouse. Rates for 2017 are from £150pppn including three meals a day, a walk and a bush drive each day.

Travel with us on an adventurous 4×4 Eco Trail
Departing Every #Friday from #MatlothPark
4×4 Eco-Trails into #KrugerNationalPark
From R1590.00 Per person
2 Night / 3 Day Packages available
3 Night / 4 Day Packages available
Own Vehicle Package options available
The Malopeni Overnight Eco Trail is a guided one night motorised adventure trail which travels along management roads in the area to the north-east of Phalaborwa Gate up to the Letaba River.
The route allows the adventure tourist exclusive access to remote areas which are not frequented by many vehicles and bring the true eco-tourist close to the realities of the African bush.
Emphasis is on the wilderness, the remoteness and the seclusion of traveling through areas rarely seen by others.
The trail will offer a variety of experiences which include seeing different animal spoor, animals, plant and bird species as well as a variety of different landscapes.
A maximum of five vehicles limited to four persons per vehicle are guided by an official vehicle.
This experienced and professional guide will act as the trail leader and will interpret the various natural phenomenon such as geology, biology, botany as well as historical and cultural information, at regular intervals.
All vehicles need to be fully equipped in terms of their own camping equipment.
• The trail starts at Phalaborwa Gate at 14:00 on the day of departure and returns to Phalaborwa Gate the following day at around 12:00 (campsite is vacated at approximately 09:00 after breakfast).
• The overnight campsite is unfenced and has a fireplace, ashdrum and two enviro loo’s (toilets with no chemical or flushing component), one for ladies and one for gents. It is a self-catering trail and guests have to provide their own water, firewood, food and accommodation (Tent). Although it is not strictly speaking a 4×4 challenge, road conditions vary from reasonably good to a few places with steep inclines and in the rainy season – muddy patches where guests are asked to engage in 4×4 (if their vehicle has this capability).
• Without 4×4 capabilities, wheels might spin and the road might be damaged and therefore it is recommended that 4×4 vehicles be used on this trail, however high clearance 2×4 vehicles are also permitted. Only genuine off-road trailers or caravans are allowed.
• The trail departs on a daily basis throughout the year from Phalaborwa Gate although in the case of heavy rainfall the route might be changed or even be closed temporarily. The Phalaborwa Section Ranger can also close the route any time for management related issues such as an uncontrolled fire or for anti-poaching operations in the area.
• Only 5 vehicles plus the guide’s vehicle are allowed on the trail at any one time, with a maximum of 4 people per vehicle. (No children under 12 years unless arranged prior to departure and this will only be possible in cases where one group has booked the entire trail).
Landscapes
The route commences in the Phalaborwa Sandveld and stretches into Mopane (Colophospermum mopane) Savanna on Basic Soils and the Letaba River Rugged Veld. The predominant geology formations consist mainly of granite and gneiss. Soils of the watersheds are generally deep and sandy. The Phalaborwa Sanveld is characterized by the occurrence of large numbers of termite mounds, which are comprised of light grey soils. A number of well-defined and deeply incised watercourses pass through the Mopane Savanna from higher-lying areas. The Letaba River Rugged Veld represent the mid and lower drainage slopes of the Letaba River. It is generally strongly undulating with prominent watersheds and deeply incised watercourses.

From Kruger to Mozambique
By Ané Fourie
This epic adventure in December 2011 / January 2012 involved a few 4x4s, some good friends and the best of both the beach and the bush. We camped in Letaba Rest Camp in Kruger National Park and trekked via the Giriyondo Border Post to Barra, Mozambique.
This video was shot entirely on a GoPro HD Hero 2 and graciously edited by my extremely talented brother, Estian Fourie.
