Kruger National Park July 2014

We are so blessed with som of the best Game parks in South Africa. In South Africa alone, my favourates are the Kalaghadi Trans Frontier Park and Kruger National Park. So it follows that I just had to convince my family that our next family holiday needs to be in the latter. So during July we spent our holidays at Shingwedzi, Letaba , Satara and Lower Sabi. Apart from the fact that you can never miss a large predator spotting (since it will be hidden behind a hundred vehicles, who once found treats it selfishly as their sole possession), sightings and opportunities abound. There are naturally also the odd occasion where you are blessed to have a special moment just for you.

Shingwedzi remains to be special particularly because it is never really crowded and its camp sites are big. Letaba’s Camp is arguably the best of the lot although game viewing may not be that good in this area. On the contrary, Satara (if you are fortunate enough to get a booking) is the ultimate for game viewing. Having said that, the park is full of surprises and we have had wonderful sightings on many roads from the north right to the south. Sightings along the Sabi River (H4-1) are very often full of surprises while a bit of patience at Sunset Dam near lower Sabi are equally rewarding.
