Greater Kruger Family Safari

"How many more sleeps?” this became our son's wake-up call as the days neared his first ‘safari’ to the Greater Kruger National Park.

James and I had decided to combine a bit of family time with a quick update of the 'family friendly safari lodges' in the greater Kruger area.

My 4 Day Kruger Adventure

My 4-Day Kruger Adventure was one of the highlights of my travelling; having not visited the area for such a long time, the Kruger National Park was stunning.

Leaving Cape Town and flying north to OR Tambo and then a 5-hour drive to the Kruger from where we stayed in parks board accommodation.
