    Getting TO/AROUND: I really recommend hiring a car and seeing Kruger independently. I have seen many questions posted on the forums about what tour take and to book it where etc. Just do it yourself. If you have a drivers license from home you can drive in SA. There are plenty of places to hire a car in Jo-berg and Nelspruit. You don't need a 4x4, because the main roads are tarred and the sides roads are in good condition (although a 4x4 is nice because it sits high).

    Good maps are available at the gate entrances and the roads are well marked. Petrol stations are located in every restcamp and there are mechanics available if you have any difficulties.

    I like having the independence to anywhere I want when I want. Tour operators tend to quickly drive you around spending little time in one spot so they can find the "Big Five", which is annoying if you are also interested in all of the other animals.
