Example Kruger National Park<\/h3>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text content_tablet=”<\/p>\n

The oldest park in South Africa with an area of about the size of Israel or half the size of Switzerland. The famous Kruger National Park is exciting and certainly worth a visit but overrun by tourists. Many visitors have different perception and behavior towards nature and wildlife.<\/p>\n

Several ways to experience the Kruger Park are available. You may join one of the numerous local safari-operator. You will sit next to someone, hopefully next to the window, in an air-conditioned bus, high above the ground and look at the animals through the glass-window.<\/p>\n

If you prefer it a bit more safari-like; wait in front of the booking office to buy your ticket; join the tourist-queue, until you get the signal to sit like sardines on an open vehicle\u2019s bench and you will be driven through the park under the blazing sun.<\/p>\n

Should you choose to travel with a rented vehicle, follow the cars and when someone stops to observe a pride of lions wait patiently until the one in front of you decides to move. Depending on the crowd and the length of the queue, you might see or just miss the lions\u2026<\/p>\n

This are the main reasons why; I only offer tours to private game reserves. These can be in or around the Kruger Park but mostly in other regions of South Africa depending on the season, the regions, and the risk for malaria.<\/p>\n

My personal point of view is that a holiday to South Africa should be a real and authentic experience. Something that remains positively in someone\u2019s memory.<\/em><\/p>\n
