A short summary Nikki and I went on a trip to Johannesburg in South Africa in the period December 13th to December 31st 2004. The main goal for our trip was to see Nikki’s family and friends but we also got a chance to take a look at places like ...

Pros: With good research, there ARE safaris for people who aren't millionaires!
Cons: South Africa can be dangerous, in and outside of Kruger National Park

Back in February 2000, I was lucky enough to go to South Africa for a two-week holiday. The main reason for this trip was to attend my sister-in-law's wedding. However, a VERY close second was to go on safari in Kruger National Park, one of the ...

Pros: Great outdoors, free animals (and lots of 'em!), beautiful scenery, easy to explore, excellent infrastructure.
Cons: None at all!

Do you like animals and the great outdoors? No? Well, even if you don't you should definitely try the Kruger National Park in South Africa. It's really a fantastic site and a place everyone truly must visit at least once in a lifetime.

Pros: Beautiful, Cheap, Exotic
Cons: Long flight to get there

I encourage everyone to travel, and to travel off the beaten path. South Africa is one of those places that offers 1st world civilized infrastructure (decent roads/planes/trains/hospitals/hotels/restaurants), combined with a great 3rd world exotic...

Pros: Good food, accommodations, roads and English speaking people
Cons: Far away and you must be inside a campground by sunset

South Africa is an area which encompasses several countries, several homelands, and Kruger National Park.
The Republic of South Africa is a unique country which includes KNP. KNP is one of the world's best game
viewing parks and takes a week...

Pros: Comfortable accomodation and night drives possible
Cons: Game in the Manyeleti section is not as plentiful as in Sabi Sand

For those of you planning to visit South Africa, I would highly recommend staying at some of the private reserves, including those adjacent to Kruger National Park. We stayed at Honeyguide in the Manyeleti Reserve and Chitwa Chitwa in the Sabi Sand...

Pros: Surreal encounters with nature, top notch service, beautiful accommodations
Cons: Price

Its almost impossible to review Londolozi as its much more of a experience than a hotel. We stayed in a chalet at Bateleur Camp for 3 nights. The room was tastefully appointed in keeping with the style of the camp. It wasnt quite hot enough to get the ...

Pros: Animals, animals and more animals!
Cons: None!

In February of 2003, I finally realized a life long dream to visit Africa. South Africa, Kruger nati ...

Pros: Absolute value for money
Cons: Cannot think of any

I think that the Kruger National Park must be one of the best places I have ever been fortunate enough to visit. A little known fact about the accommodation offered, are the private guest houses at the various camps. There is for instance, Stanley House...

Pros: rare experience, animals galore!
Cons: expensive, far from main cities

Here in the states when we go to a zoo it is the people who are free and the animals that are locked up. At Krueger it is just the opposite. You are locked in a secured area at night while the animals around you roam free. There is nothing like waking...

Pros: Perfect
Cons: Too Expensive

While Londolozi is technically not part of Kruger, it is adjacent
to the National Park. Londolozi is incredibly pricey, but if you want
the best, you get it there. Not only is there extreme comfort, but
you get to see the animals that you...

Pros: Thousands of Animals
Cons: Dangerous

Krugar National Park also known as the Zoo because they are some many wild animals located there is one of the best game viewing parks available. Krugar park is a self-drive through game safari, containing thousands of different animals and scenaries....

Pros: We saw the Big 5 within 24 hours.
Cons: None.

We stayed at Ngala Tented Camp inside Kruger. It is the only private concession allowed in Kruger. Night drives every night and morning drives. Short walking safari's also during the afternoon. The tents were luxury all the way and the food was fabulous....

Pros: Great wildlife viewing and great nature
Cons: Not many places to stop to enjoy the nature as it is mostly animal focused

In April 2006 I took a three day drive through the park staying at different camps each night. During my visit I actually saw all of the Big Five, which is not something everyone does especially in a short stay. The Big Five are the elephant, rhino, ...
