  • THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD VISIT SOUTH AFRICA! | Self-Drive vs Private Reserve in Kruger National Park
    We finish our safari adventure self-driving through Kruger National Park and staying at Olifants Rest Camp. A huge highlight for us was spotting a young leopard stalking its prey and having the whole scene to ourselves. We made our way to Honeyguide Rest Camp in the Manyeleti Private Game Reserve. It was nice to relax in a luxury tented camp where all your meals were included. We were taken on two game drives with professional spotters. We were amazed to see leopards, lions, and a massive herd of buffalo plus so much more!
    We are so excited to be sharing this South African series and hope you guys are enjoying watching! If you liked this video, give it a 'thumbs up' and leave us a comment down below! 💜

    Hi, greetings from your new subscriber from the Netherlands. I'm planning to go on a safari trip with family to SA and I came upon your safari vlogs. I enjoyed watching them, my compliments. We would like to self drive too. May I know the name of the SA tour operator when booking your accommodations at Kruger? What's the name of the car company you used from Johannesburg? Are they reliable? Which month did you go? Thanks in advance for your help.

    How did you feel driving in SA and the safety in general? How would compare the safety respect to Colombia? I am from Colombia but I am a bit afraid of the safety in SA.

    • @SammyandTommy
      @SammyandTommy  Рік тому +1

      SA was very safe! Don't worry just be smart and aware like you are in Colombia. You will be fine. Let us know if you have any questions :)

    @christineanderson925 2 роки тому +1

    just found your channel while researching Africa. Great content. Would you say that it would be safe for a solo traveler to do self drive? Love how many animals you are seeing.

    • @SammyandTommy
      @SammyandTommy  2 роки тому

      Hi Christine 👋 I would definitely say it's safe to self drive solo through Kruger park. Just drive slow so you can keep your eyes peeled for animals 😍 It's a trip you have to do! If you have any questions feel free to email us.

    Tie up your long hair ladies, into a bun under a cap. Never turn your back in a jeep with flowing hair. Predators grab tails/hair in the blink of an eye. Nb. 🌿🐅

    Amazing safari, terrible game vehicle with a roof, and bars everywhere. Try a proper open vehicle for the true open Africa feel.

      It didn’t feel very tame to us so we can’t wait to explore some other parks!
