Getting TO/AROUND: The ideal way to self-drive in a game park is in a 4x4 land rover. Of course, these are quite expensive to hire, plus they aren’t a necessity, by no means. They offer you the added height and vantage point when viewing animals, and are an easier ride often when the road is a bit bumpy. We went in a normal five-door car, and it was absolutely fine. We had no problems whatsoever. The one thing that my family (naughty naughty!) did was hang out the window, which was okay, but it s not advised. They are looking at the lions that were lying under the tree, who had had a recent kill. Exciting stuff! *Remember to have a spare wheel and the usual bits and bobs you might need whilst in the park, plus have enough petrol (gas) too! This is NOT the place to break down or come to a stand still! ** AIR CONDITIONING IS A MUST!!!!

Getting TO/AROUND: We usually have our own car when we visit here, or we use a family car, but if you do need to hire a car - as we did our last time here, use Nova Car Rental. They drop the car off at your home for R135 extra, whcih isnt a lot at all, andwere on time, friendly and just a pleasure to deal with. When we dropped the car off at the airport, they were yet again professional, helpful and efficitent. Their prices are very good and they offer a variety of model car.

Getting TO/AROUND: To be fair, the roads here are generally very good for a game park. There was only one place (near the huge lake) where we were rattling along as the road was so bumpy! There are many roads that are tarred, and many that are dirt. The dirt ones are neturally rougher than the tarred, but they are pretty smooth and in good condition. There are roads that only the game rangers acn go into, but these are clearly sign-posted. Signage is very good in the park, and as long as you have a map at hand too, it would be hard to get lost! :)
