Re: getting there and what to do what to pack Posted: Mon November 5, 2007 03:54 PM UTC
We were in Kruger in May of 2004 and it was very nice during the day. Shorts or slacks were fine. But at night and early in the morning, long pants, sweaters, light jackets and hats were essential. I would imagine that June would be somewhat cooler still. May was not a busy time for Kruger and we did not need to reserve our spots on the game drives at all. It was only necessary to show up the night before to reserve a spot for the next morning's drive and a couple of times for the night drives, we showed up only minutes before the tour left with no reservation at all, and we got right in. I highly recommend the game drives as well as the organized walks at sunrise and sunset. You will also be able to self drive during the day. We saw so many fascinating critters while self driving, but it was also good to get information from the guides on the night and morning tours. We stayed at a different camp every night and covered a lot of ground that way - again, no reservations needed at that time of year. I think I would do it the same way if/when we go back (and I sure hope we can!). Oh yes, all major credit cards are accepted at Kruger.
