Trackers - South Africa Travel Channel 24
Trackers is situated against the mountains of the Klein Drakensberg, on the North-Eastern Escarpment. Our delightful self-catering chalets look out over the Lowveld towards the Kruger National Park, and across the exit of the Blyde Canyon.
Our game farm is unique in that it contains a section of highveld and a major river in the lowveld, with a variation in altitude of 1200 metres. Streams drop from 'Fynbos' through the sheer escarpment and natural forest to the Blyde River, where the lowveld is dotted with Baobabs at their southern distribution in Africa.

Kruger National Park, in northeastern South Africa, is one of Africa’s largest game reserves. Its high density of wild animals includes the Big 5: lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants and buffalos. Hundreds of other mammals make their home here, as do diverse bird species such as vultures, eagles and storks. Mountains, bush plains and tropical forests are all part of the landscape.

Episode 18: The Kruger National Park needs no introduction. We spent some time finding out what all the fuss is about.
South Africans love the bush. I’m not sure exactly why that is, considering a vast percentage live in urban areas and their connections to the bush consist of possibly the occasional holiday. Maybe there is a sense of propriety and national pride in the fact that Africa is the last of the continents to still have its megafauna. Africa, and maybe parts of India and Australia, but what is a tiny-eared Asian elephant compared to the mighty tuskers in Africa, or a Kangaroo compared to… OK, those are pretty unique.
Whatever the reason, the bush is a truly magical place that calls to something in the heart of most South Africans. Maybe the allure of the bush is less about a place than it is about a feeling –unbroken horizons and the freedom of unconfined space, the relief of new rain on hot earth, life in its rawest form given and taken in a daily struggle for survival, and the reestablishment of man in a cycle of life that is greater than daily deadlines and rush-hour traffic.

Travel Guide to a South African Safari
In this travel video guide to South Africa, I travel to South Africa's Kruger National Park, one of the world's best places for wildlife viewing. In this travel video I go in search of lion, while also catching glimpses of giraffes, elephants, rhinos, buffalo, hyenas, and baboons.
On the way, my crew and I cruise the African bush in a converted Land Rover, stop at frightening Lake Panic, and have lunch with a few hundred bats at Skukuza restcamp, You know, typical safari stuff.
