Travel Tips: South Africa
If you are going to South Africa especially to Kruger National Park, here are some very important tips that you need to follow:
1. Do go slowly. The more sedate your pace, the more you see.
2. Do dress comfortably. If you’re walking, wear subdued colours like khaki so that you blend into the bush.
3. Never wander off on your own.
4. Do take water, a hat and a jersey, depending how long you’ll be out. Remember that driving in an open vehicle in winter can be very cold.
5. If you are in a malaria area (Lowveld of Mpumalanga incl. the Kruger National Park, and Limpopo - north-eastern areas and near the Zimbabwean and Mozambican borders - and on the Maputaland coast of KwaZulu-Natal, north-east as far south as the Tugela River), take prophylactics and at night, cover up with repellents and clothing.
6. Don’t necessarily expect to see what you do in wildlife documentaries. Sometimes those scenes take months of patience to capture or require you to be in the right place at the right time – maybe partly the reason for repeat game visits.
7. Don’t forget your binoculars and your camera.
