Some people do and others don't. I am one of the many who loves Kruger National Park. Oh yes there are negatives. First of all, we all would like the park exclusively to ourselves and a "private" lion sighting. Ever wondered why so many people gothere? Why is it so popular? Why is it so often booked out?

Having been to many parks all over Southern and Central Africa, I still rate KNP as one of the best. One of the best if it is variety in game, vegetation, topography, birds and just about everything is concerned. On the other hand, if your primary requirement is adventure and off roading such as in low range 4x4 stuff or you wish for a night time visit to your campsite or tent of some predator or one of the big five or anything wild and wonderful, then may be one of the unfenced camps in Botswana or Mana Pools ...(All of which I love) is where you want to be. The point is that KNP is not the only park and it is not in competition with other parks. The Kruger National Park is the Kruger National Park and lots of it!
On a recent visit where I drove into the park daily for six days as a day visitor fro Hazyview I again was treated by exciting game viewing even though I could not drive very far the park. Drives around the Sabie River, towards Satara and even to and from the Pambeni gate never dissapointed. So was Lake Panic.

My children and their families are serious Africa Travellers so that KNP was "not for them". Yet, based on my (amplified) experiences and some photographic evidence the whole family will enjoy KNP again for fourteen days in the winter of 2014.
