Travel Tips

There is nothing like seeing animals in the wild. It really is the greatest thrill, worth all the waiting. And wait and be patient you must. We sat by this waterhole in Kruger National Park for ages and were rewarded when this huge giraffe came down to drink.

Sometimes you wonder.

Zebra often move with wildebeeste - see one and you are very likely to see the other.

Some just won't turn around no matter how long you wait.

Little creatures are all part of the great plan too.

We stopped for a picnic at Tshokwane and were immediately joined by a family of hornbills who just knew we'd come to see them.

These are almost certainly the animal you will see most. Beautiful, graceful creatures. - you can be sure of seeing them wherever you are in the park.

...until you are leaving before they decide to show themselves. We thought warthogs were going to evade us until, right by the gate, just as we were leaving, a whole family trotted across the road in front of us.
