Our Stay In The Kruger
"We really enjoyed our stay, the staff at all the camps we visited were so friendly and helpful as well as the entrance gate staff. The camp sites were well laid out and the ablutions kept clean. Our only less than satisfactory experience was on the Night Drive. The guide is not very experienced as my own sister is a guide, busy completing FGASA levels to be a game ranger and through her and our own lives growing up always going to parks, we know our animals and the do's and don'ts. When we came across a scrub hare, he tells the guests that it is a rabbit and tastes like chicken. This is not a very well thought out description for an animal that is not a rabbit as the most common difference is that the hare's ears are twice or so longer than a rabbit's and the only trait he can think up is that it tastes like chicken? He also told us before we started the game drive that he cant find the animals and needs to drive, that being a guide is really hard. I must say that our game drives in other parks were much more entertaining and well done and we were a little disappointed in this one. Other than that, we loved our stay!"

Mission Accomplished
"My wife Joan is sadly suffering from terminal cancer. Our total 16 day trip was to fulfill her ambition to show our children and grandchildren around the places she lived and played in before we married in Nelspruit and came to the UK to work 1963. WE were a party of ten and the grandchildren never stop talking about the Kruger Park.
We were affected by the strike when we reached Graskop which was disappointing have spent so much money to get there. I was interviewed by SABC at Gods Window about the strike and I understand it went out on television.
My wife met up with 25 members of her South African families.
My children and grandchildren will be back one day
Thanks for your part in our trip"

Camping at Pretoriuskop
"Always liked this camp. Just the restaurants are a letdown, and very far from international standards.
At Satara for lunch, I had to stand in a queue to order parts of the meal, I had to give an order to a waiter for another part of the meal and pay for drinks at a till cash and order coffee from someone else. Chaos! I have never had to deal with four separate people to purchase lunch for two and then have to hunt for a fifth person for ten minutes to be able to pay the bill. This has to represent an organisation on the brink of financial disaster."

Edutaining Visit
"The stay at Kruger was great. The accommodation was clean and adequate. It would be great if each self catering unit had at least one pot or frying pan and some tea cups though.
We were lucky to spot a Cheetah on the edge of the road on our way out of the reserve. However, it was disappointing to see only two of the big five, even after doing a night drive. I suppose, it was our bad luck.
Thank you to the Kruger staff for making our stay a good one. Pat who took us on the night drive was very good. He took us on an informative tour."

Review
"Very disappointing - saw very few animals - more in the camp than outside and we spent hours travelling. On Friday late afternoon the rangers made fires around the camp, which spread very quickly as the wind came up and changed direction; to the extent that there was so much smoke in the camp that one could hardly breathe and the visibility was very poor, causing burning of the eyes, caughing, etc. Braaing was a nightmare - most men were outside braaing as quickly as possibly and then hurried back inside. My chest was so badly affected (asthma) that we left the next day - a day early. The veld had burnt so badly that there were even less animals to see. My question is why over a long weekend? Bad planning or lack of proper planning? Is this not why there are no animals? The fires do not appear to be well controlled; and why is this done in the late afternoon and into the night? The accommodation, bathrooms, etc. were great!"

"Our stay was very nice thank you and many thanx to the cleaner who cleaned our braai every morning. We used our own braai, because there were not enough for everybody, there were also too little powerpoints for the campers. We and some other campers had to share, also there were not enough rubbish bins. Otherwise - it was very nice and quiet thank you."

Where are all the wild animals?
"This was the second time we visited this camp and just like before we enjoyed our stay. This is a very nice camp and we loved the hut that we were staying in. The only thing that bothered us was that there is almost no wildlife around this camp. What hapaned to all the animals?"

"It was awesome
The only problem we experienced over the weekend was that no fuel was available inside the camps, we had to drive out the Paul Kruger Gate to fill up outside the Kruger."

Out with the old, in with the new
"The older camps (Lower Sabie, Pretoriuskop) were rather mediocre, while the new camp (Tamboti) was absolutely incredible. Lower sabie's hut had a very unpleasant smell, but I'm sure that was just bad luck of the draw.
The interaction with all reception staff and rangers was very pleasant and enlightening - all in all, a very good experience. I mapped my entire trip on this tab - hope it's not too confusing."
