Kruger National Park
Our tents are permanently erected on
wooden platforms along the fence. The
tents that we use are 2.4 x 2.4 (meters)
and 3.0 x 3.0 (meters) with built in floor
and mosquito nets over the windows
and door. Each tent has two proper
single bed mattresses (same as
many hotels in South Africa use) with
fitted sheets.
We have also erected a 6.0 x 6.0
(meters) army tent where we have a
fridge, gas stove and electricity where
you can recharge your camera
batteries. This tent is perfect for those
nights that it is raining, as it is big
enough for the group to pull their chairs
in and gather around without getting
wet.
The campsite ablutions (bathrooms)
are of an extremely high standard. You
will always walk into a very clean bathroom with hot water. Separate
bathrooms for males and females, and
the bathrooms is right next to our camp. 
The game walks inside Kruger national park is three hours in duration. These bush walks are operated by Kruger national park with two armed Kruger park guides conducting the walks.
The walks are 3 hours in duration, and starts at sunrise.
Game walks are about seeing the smaller things that you can not see from a vehicle. You will also experience the smells of the bush, and see a variety of footprints.
