Thank you so much for your videos! They were instrumental in planning my first trip to Kruger (and SA - just got back) - and the Kruger Self-Drive book was very helpful when wandering about. I must say that our two nights in Berg-en-Dal were by far the best: two separate lion sightings (including a pair of males walking right past us on a night drive,) leopard, and limitless elephant and giraffe, among many others.

My pleasure, Bregman. Why don’t you send me an email on info@thesafariexpert.co.za with a bit more info on your trip (number of people / ideal duration / animals you’d love to see / approximate budget or at least type of accommodation) and I’ll get back to you 🙂

Hi Villiers. We absolutely love your videos. Currently based in Dubai, but Heading to Kruger from 10-24 July. Staying in Orpen (5 nights), Olifants (2 nights), Satara (2 nights) and Skukuza (5 nights). We recently purchased a copy of the book Kruger Self-drive, Routes, Roads and Ratings. Thank you for all the information on your channel.

Hello! Been watching a lot of your videos and really enjoy them. I am planning an vacation in and around the Kruger Park soon. I took your advice from another video and got the Kruger Self-Drive book from van den berg. I have not been to Kruger myself, but when I was looking at routes and looking for distances. I feel like a lot of the routes km distance is off.
@annak1388 9 ай бұрын
For example, the Orpen Gate route says it's 117km if you also switch from H7 and drive the S106. But when you look at the road it says that H7 is 48km from the gate to Sahara camp. If you double that and add S106 which is 14km. That is 110km. So is the distance 110km or 117km? Because a few kilometers can make quite the difference in planning. And I have noticed a few other routes where the distance seems of. I know you didn't write the book, but since you are very familiar with Kruger I was thinking that you might have an idea what's up ☺️

Absolutely loce your videos, very informative! Also got your book, just waiting for it to arrive. One question for you, we are doing 2 nights in kruger, starting through orpen gate and will be heading towards skukuza for overnight and than back to satara. What routes would you reccomend we take? was thinking of heading from skukuza to lower sabie first thing in AM and than back up to satara to reach the camp before gates close. Any info highly appreciated Thank you
@TheSafariExpert 4 ай бұрын
Glad you enjoy them 😊 Maybe drive down to Skukuza on the S36 on the first day. Your idea to drive via Lower Sabie on day two can work, but give yourself lots of time - it could take most of the day. Nice route, though 👍🏻

Hi Villiers. Very much off topic, but please help. We are going to Kruger for my 40th birthday next weekend. We usually go in winter so this is new to us. I have booked us a sunset drive, does it still get cold this time of year on the back of a bakkie. I don't really want to pack too many jackets, etc.:-)
@TheSafariExpert 6 ай бұрын
Probably not, Gerhard. The Lowveld is stinking hot at the moment. But take ar least one small extra layer with for in case there’s a storm that comes in - then temperatures can definitely drop a bit.

How long did it take u to drive from Orpen to Pretoriuskop... i am planning on driving from Orpen to Crocodile camp , rest there for 2 nights. But i see here on the KNP distances between gates is estimated @ 7hours drive. I fear i might not make it before they close camp for check in. Say i enter Opern at 06 am, plus some stops taking breaks, restrooms, and all so i dont know if is doable
