I will be in Kruger in 4 weeks. June technically low risk for malaria. I have been reading with all the rain that mosquitos are more prevalent and that anti malarial advised in June. my doctor has said I can’t take them due to my health issues. should I cancel my trip to Kruger? I’d take all other precautions just wouldn’t be able to take the tablets.

I’ve booked several game drives via SANPARKS for a trip this June. The website suggests wearing neutral-colour clothing. Does this strictly mean khaki or “safari colours,” or will I be alright if I just avoid bright colours / patterns? Thanks!

Planning to hire an SUV and enter from the Mpumalanga side.

Is it not too late to get bookings? What gate should I use and where can I stay. I plan on staying 3-5 days. Is that sufficient to get the best experience?

American staying in Kruger. Let me say we had a blast and loved our stay and will post glowing reviews of Shishangeni Lodge, specifically Shonga.

Krugerpark.co ran by Siyabona Africa appeared to be a park website to us. We didnt realize they are a booking agent. They were certainly helpful so dont get me wrong. I just would have appreciated knowing they're a booking company and add a fee. For example 1 night at Skukuza lodge thru them was $100 usd more or so i was led to belive when asking reception directly what nightly rate is.

Just a warning because it isnt stated on their website.

Edit. I dont think its 100 usd more. Actually using hotel website, appears to be 1000 rand or 65 ish usd. It just seems to be how ppl are exploited for lack of better words. Example. Night drive at concession in hotel lobby, 850 rand per person. Going over to the Skukuza center and booking...350 rand per. This places gives the mafia a run for its money :)

Hi, everyone! My fiancé and I just booked our flights to Johannesburg. We’ll be arriving on July 5th and heading back home on the 10th.

Since we only have 4 full days to explore, we want to put together a great itinerary, but honestly, I have no idea where to start!

I’ve been doing some research, and names like Pilanesberg, Kruger, Sabi Sands, and Skukuza keep coming up. Which one is the best option?????

I’ve noticed that staying inside the parks can be quite expensive, is it worth the extra cost? I assume the lodge guides make it much easier to spot the wildlife, right? Also, do you have any recommendations for lodges or even camping spots?

I'm also debating whether we should rent a car for a self-drive safari or stick to guided tours. Given our short timeframe, is it better to stay in just one location or try to visit different areas? On a side note, is there any real risk of animal attacks? I’m dying to see zebras, giraffes, and monkeys, in addition to the Big Five!

Lastly, what is the food situation like? Are there mini-markets inside the parks? I have so many questions! I would truly appreciate any help or advice you can give 🥹🥹🥹🥹🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I’m staying in Marloth Park at Kruger Eden Lodge June 14-18. Not renting a car. I will have 3 full days outside of the days i fly in and out the area from Cape Town

I already have 2 of my full days booked with a local guide for a personal safari.

1. I was wanting to do one of the sunset game drives with the bush braai, but they all say minimum of 2 people needed for my booking, which doesn’t work because i’m going solo. Can anyone point me towards an option they know of that will accept single bookings? I don’t mind being put into whatever group they have booked

2. What is my best option to get a ride to the grocery store from my lodge when i arrive?

3. What are some nice easy options for things to do the afternoon i arrive (14th) and also possibly the morning of 16th. Can I just walk out of my lodge and wonder around as i please? How does that all work?

Really appreciate any advice. Looking forward to coming!

Hello friends!

Looking for recommendations for ground transportation after our visit to Kruger.

Is the drive from Hoedspruit to Johannesburg worth doing of we want to see a bit more of the country?

Are there good options or recommendations for ground transport?

An advice is appreciated, thanks all!

Looking for advice please...we are coming back to Kruger in September for a two week visit. Last year we had our camera phones for photos, and whilst they were brilliant, they don't feel like a camera, if you know what I mean....can anyone recommend any good reasonably priced cameras that offer good zooming capability and picture quality for our return visit? TIA
