Good recap. We have been to Botswana, Zambia and Zimbabwe and we loved our times there. We were lucky enough to do Chobe twice and Hwange. You are correct, South Africa is less expensive for not just its citizens, but tourists. We are doing, next week, a month in Greater Kruger, with day trips to the Kruger. For the same money, we could do 10 days to two weeks in the rest of Southern Africa. It's a long way from Canada with expensive air flights. So you want the best value for money. Keep on trucking.
If you do the Lebombo overland echo trail LOET, then it is 5 days just you and the bush, camping in bush camps on the eastern side of park, pricey but great
Cool video..... I also love the Kruger and you are absolutely correct about the staff. I took my children on a game walk with armed guides and it still is the highlight for them of our trip to to the KNP. A pack of hyenas were chasing another away from the pack and ran passed us about 2 metres away. We saw rhinos and could enjoy close ups of paw prints. absolutely incredible.
Oh wow, you just made us jealous. 😂👏. We have never done the Lebombo Trail but have heard only good things about it. Enjoy it 👏👏. Hope you enjoy watching this episode about Kruger and I’m sure you’ll love your stay in Kruger too.
Have you thought of getting Starlink for your WiFi? Great video once again and remember you guys qualify for pensioners discount 40% off your camping fees from 1 May.
We definitely make use of our pensioner rates and long stay discounts 👏👏. Re Starlink , mine is waiting for me at home, just delivered, but after we had already ordered ours, the story came out about it being blocked in SA. However, We are currently in camp with friends who have Starlink, and it’s still working perfectly, so here’s hoping it stays like that 👏👏
We have just been advised by one of our followers in the know, that there is a tender being finalised and the roads are going to be attended to, which is great news 👏👏
Great summary thanks. We were in Kruger at the end of March (saw you near Satara). We have a Fuso FG6 based camper, but from Cape Town it takes too many days to get to Kruger, so we flew into Skukuza and picked up a rental, which is an absolute treat! You have not said anything about the KZN Wildlife parks; what is your opinion on those at the present time?
Aah wonderful. The KZN parks we do enjoy. They obviously are smaller and less organised than Kruger, but still worthwhile. It’s a pity that Mfolozi Hluhluwe doesn’t allow camping , and the Mpila shop is a disgrace, and I just wish they would invest in that to make it more pleasurable , but all in all, we do enjoy the parks in KZN. The hides in Mkuze are incredible too
Like I said, I don’t think they have commercial, open to the public on the website, unfenced camps available at normal cost. If you do know of any, please let us know , because the website shows nothing
Thanks for the video. We are also planning on doing a 1-2 month trip to Kruger in the near future. Were there always sites available at the campsites? Did you phone ahead of time or just pitch up? Or did you book online for your next stop? In general how did the whole getting a campsite work?
We normally just travel and get sites , but for places like Kruger and Kwhai, it’s probably better to book ahead, depending on time of the year, holidays etc. What you can do is book beforehand for whatever camps you think you want but it’s then so easy to change when you’re in Kruger. You just go to any camp reception and make any changes you want to. If they have space, which they normally do, they change it there and then for you and it really is so easy. We always make changes when we’re in Kruger 👏👏. Have fun
Thanks. We never book when we have done extended trips around South Africa. Was just wondering about Kruger in particular. Our Iveco 4x4 is called The Duffalo 😁

Great summary, I agree with you about Shingwedzi's ablution blocks that are so far apart. There must be one exstra for the campers. Enjoy Tankwa.
Thanks 👏👏. Glad it’s not just me 😂😂

Absolutely correct …. Your trip sounds amazing . Enjoy
Great summary, we also love Kruger and also camp! 38 days and we are there again! 💕💕
Aah amazing 👏👏
If you do the Lebombo overland echo trail LOET, then it is 5 days just you and the bush, camping in bush camps on the eastern side of park, pricey but great
Thank you , we will definitely look at that 👏👏

Incredible experience 👏👏👏
Will be listening to this advice later today. Lebombo trail and 2 additional weeks in Kruger Camps soon! Cant wait! Any advice for Lebombo?
Oh wow, you just made us jealous. 😂👏. We have never done the Lebombo Trail but have heard only good things about it. Enjoy it 👏👏. Hope you enjoy watching this episode about Kruger and I’m sure you’ll love your stay in Kruger too.
Another great video guys, keep 'em coming!!
Thanks for the awesome support 👏👏

Lekker video!!! I also love the Kruger but now live a bit far for a quick trip. Good news is that I'm off to Addo early next month.
Aah Addo is amazing too
Agree with the gravel roads getting bad. Only fault I also experienced

Vivienne at Balule. Lovely organised lady!
She is amazing
Kruger have unfenced camps, our vet friends regularly went to, called Bush Camps then
