South Africa questions

Kruger or a private reserve?

Kruger national park is vast and self-drive friendly. Private reserves on the park’s edge usually include guided drives and fewer vehicles at a sighting. Ask operators which model they run.

Best season for a South Africa safari?

May to September is the dry winter for Kruger viewing. November to March is summer on the Cape — better for beaches, worse for afternoon storms inland.

Can I combine Cape Town and safari?

Yes. A common week is three nights Cape Town plus three nights Kruger or a nearby reserve, with a domestic flight between them.
