Tour overview for South Africa

We took a two tours in October 2011 in Kruger National Park and we’ve listed below the details of the tours to help plan your own. 

Place	Lower Sabie, Kruger National Park
Tour	Evening Drive
Cost/pp	180 ZAR
Description	You leave camp at 7pm after everyone else has been locked in and ride in a large jeep.  If the weather is good the sides will be open so photo's will be good.  About half-way through the guide stops and lets you stretch for 10 minutes or so.  Arrive back in camp around 10pm.  It is ok to take food/snacks/drinks on the tour.
In a nutshell	A great tour to do, the guides are very friendly and explain a lot about the animals and the park.

 

Place	Skuskuza, Kruger National Park
Tour	Morning Walk
Cost/pp	360 ZAR
Description	You leave camp at 5am just as the sun is rising and depending on the previous nights animal sightings you drive to a good location and from there begin the walk.  The guides are very reassuring and give clear instructions about how to walk and when it's ok to take photos etc.  About half-way through the guide stops and provides a small snack or juice, cheese, dried fruit and crackers. Arrive back in camp around 8am.  It is ok to take food/snacks/drinks on the tour but only eat them at the designated snack stop.
In a nutshell	A great tour to do, although of course your experience will depend on what animals are around to see.  The the guides are very friendly and explain a lot about the animals and the park.
