A fantastic adventure to see wildlife of its best.

The Kruger National Park is probably one of the best parks in the world regarding safari and wildlife. This page here is about our wonderful adventures and experience with useful tips and wild life photos.

On a night drive - Kruger National Park

On a night drive

The plan to visit the Kruger park was long time ago on my mind, but I never really knew when I will make it, one thing I always knew, to visit in July, for many reasons, it is not too hot, it is the dry season and some other reasons as well.
So when we could get a good barging price to fly to South Africa, we packs our backpacks, camera and some stuff and went on this great adventure.

    This book is a must! It covers every thing from the camps to the roads and animals. A great way to tick off the animals we've seen and we even mark on the road maps of where we've spotted the best sightings.

    Wow, what an adventure and fantastic photos too! I loved your walking tour. It reminded me of my only one, in remote Luapula Province of Zambia (1973)! Nice shot of the Genet on your Night drive - the 'unknown' lizard looks like a Monitor Lizard to me!
