Dear Fellow Travelers,
I'm excited to share the details of my recent amazing South Africa adventure with you, along with some valuable tips:
Trip Overview:
Arrival: I arrived one day prior to Day 1 to settle in and prepare for the journey.
Departure: On Day 11, I had my return flight to the Netherlands in the afternoon.
Transportation:
Rent a reliable car: I highly recommend Sunny Cars for their all-inclusive packages, ensuring a stress-free experience.
Self-Drive Safari: Opt for a self-drive safari for ultimate flexibility. I chose a VW Polo rental and had an incredible safari experience.
Accommodation Strategy:
Consider staying outside the park for accommodations. Not only is it often 4 times cheaper, but the locations are also amazing.
Kruger Park Tips:
Purchase a Safari Kruger guide & map: Since there's no internet access in Kruger Park, a physical map /guide is essential for navigating routes and finding wildlife hotspots.
The guide provides invaluable tips and tricks for animal sightings and includes pages to mark off the animals you spot.
Panorama Tour and Hikes:
Book accommodation at Forever Resort Blyde River Canyon for easy access to breathtaking hiking trails, because they starts at their terrain.
Cultural Experience:
Don't miss the opportunity to visit the African tribe at Jeppes Reef. It offers a fascinating glimpse into their way of life and culture.
Conclusion:
Embrace every moment of this amazing journey! South Africa promises unforgettable experiences at every turn.
Wishing you an extraordinary and memorable trip!
Warm regards,
Evelien
