    Skukuza is not the best camp at all, very busy, noisy, full of tourist operators, game viewer vehicle chasing from one sighting to another, selfishly blocking roads, etc. It is a town in a game reserve, and not the true nature of Kruger. From Satara to the north is the way to go. Unfortunately the lady's fast mumble spoils everything. Every tourist who spends a few days in the Kruger now suddenly becomes an exert.

    Great review of what folks can expect cost wise in Kruger! As a regular international visitor to Southern Africa with many of those trips to Kruger I can definitely that Kruger is the best value for money wildlife trip in all of Africa…maybe all of the world….hands down. The sheer numbers, variety and quality of sightings at a price that simply cannot be beaten is almost too good to be true. Thanks for posting this and helping to spread the word about this magical place 👍👍

    Very enjoyable and informative, have been following your videos. Can i just add that my wife and I did a similar 3 week self drive safari in May 24 and had a wonderful time, which we intend to do again. Highly recommended. For others information our costs flying from UK with car hire etc were approximately £1000 each per person per week, so best value for money safari available. Also for interest to show what can be seen I put a video on UA-cam. 12 lions in kruger national park.

    Based on my personal experience, the daily cost of camping, food, and fuel typically averages around R1000 when camping in the park, though this can vary depending on various factors. For me, it's still the most affordable way to experience paradise.

    What a great video of this really underrated park and huge congrats on your first black rhino 👍👍. Your footage of him was superb as was your whole video. Karoo has a special place in our hearts because it’s the first national park (other than Table Mountain) we ever visited in South Africa way back in 2010 and like you we saw our very first black rhino there. That first trip is what lit the spark for us that turned into flame when we visited Kruger on our next trip in 2013. Seven trips later and we’re now Kruger addicts all because of that first tip to the Karoo.

    Excellent video and super park. What exactly period were you in Addo and Hluhluwe-Imfolozi? I'm considering a visit in February 2025.

    • @heuers-going-wild
      @heuers-going-wild 2 місяці тому

      Thank you so much! We went to Hluhluwe-Imfolozi in winter (end of June) and it was perfect. We got great and easy sightings back then, because the bush is less dense. We also visited the same park in summer later that year again (December), but it was a bit more difficult to drive, because many roads were closed or very slippery due to heavy rains. Additionally, the animals are less likely to be seen than in winter. But you get more baby animals in summer (December to February). And I personally like the appearance of the lush greenery of the bush in summer a bit more. So there is not really one good or one bad season to visit, they are just different.

    • @heuers-going-wild
      @heuers-going-wild 2 місяці тому

      For Addo it doesn't really matter when you visit, the sightings will be quite similar (we went there multiple times in winter, spring and summer). In winter, there are fewer tourists and you get more intimate encounters, but it gets cold. In summer, the chances are better to see elephants at the waterholes, because they take baths. But the difference is not as big as in the northern parks, like Hluhluwe-Imfolozi or Kruger. I hope that helps!

      Thanks a lot! It's true, safari is not all about crazy sightings. Sometimes you just need to be patient

    What month did you go ?

      We went in July last year. The South African winter is a good safari season because the bush is less dense. This makes it easier to spot animals in general.

    That is not a contradiction. They hunt and they stand their ground. Brave and intelligent.

      That's true! I think they are badass and beautiful at the same time

    Thank you for the lovely video! I was there last time in 1973, as my uncle farmer not too far away. Planning to visit as soon as my wife retires.

    Brilliant video! We might have to put this park on our list. Thank you for sharing.

      Thank you so much! I really love this park. It feels a bit more raw, adventurous and less touristy than other places like Addo or Kruger
