Please make sure you read our Terms and Conditions!
Firstly, a friendly word of caution. When you are sitting in the comfort of your soft chair and sipping your latte, planning your trip, you might not fully realize the sheer size of South Africa, or even just the Kruger National Park. Those few centimeters on the map are a lot bigger on the ground!
You might naturally assume it should be easy and very sensible to book a chalet near the middle, and just drive up & down the park every day!
Aha! What people do not realise is that the Kruger is larger than many countries in Europe!! South Africa is about 1½ times the size of Texas, and Texas is BIG!
The Kruger National Park is 600 km long and up to 150 km wide.
It takes a minimum of two days to drive from Pafuri to Bergendal. These roads are not an autobahn either, it is a game park and you have to drive slowly, and slower still if you want to see anything.
If you book in Letaba camp, in the middle, it will take you twenty hours to drive south & back, including an hour for cooking lunch! Impossible? But I find bookings like this all the time, and then I have to fight with the Kruger on the client's behalf to change them. Most of the time this results in a very large financial loss!
Please do not underestimate the size of this park!
