Photo Tour in Kruger National Park
This was a small scale and informal trip within Kruger NP for 11 days which is designed especially for keen photographers.
The vehicle is equipped with swivel mounts which work well and our hosts/guides Lourens and Bernhard were very knowledgeable.
The trip exceeded all expectations as we saw plenty of animals. Importantly, we had no time pressure to move on, so we were able to stay with good sightings and get plenty of photos.
For safety reasons, you are required to be back at camp between sunrise and sunset, and you can only get out of the vehicles at designated stops. Hence there little prospect of doing landscape photography! We travelled a long way into the park and spent 2 nights at each rest camp. We used both sealed and gravel roads and both provided us with plenty of opportunities.
The accommodation, food and facilities provided by the National Park operators were reasonable but lacked polish, and service levels were often low (as you would probably expect in a NP). Usually there was no WiFi available so you need to have your own plan.
Highly recommended if you want to see plenty of wildlife , and like no fuss, good value, informal touring.
