The game walks inside Kruger
national park is three hours in
duration. These bush walks
are operated by Kruger
national park with two armed
Kruger park guides conducting
the walks.
The walks start at sunrise.
Game walks are about seeing
the smaller things that you
can not see from a vehicle.
You will also experience the
smells of the bush, and see a
variety of footprints.
Our tents are permanently erected on
wooden platforms along the fence. The
tents that we use are 2.4 x 2.4 (meters)
and 3.0 x 3.0 (meters) with built in floor
and mosquito nets over the windows
and door. Each tent has two proper
single bed mattresses (same as
many hotels in South Africa use) with
fitted sheets.
We have also erected a 6.0 x 6.0 (meters) army tent where we have a fridge, gas stove and electricity where you can recharge your camera batteries. This tent is perfect for those nights that it is raining, as it is big enough for the group to pull their chairs in and gather around without getting wet. The campsite ablutions (bathrooms) are of an extremely high standard. You will always walk into a very clean bathroom with hot water. Separate bathrooms for males and females, and the bathrooms is right next to our camp.
