The first choice of accommodation is a well decorated rondawel (left) with en-suite bathroom. Some rondawels have a double bed (bottom left) and others two single beds (below). We do our best to ensure that couples get a rondawel with a double bed, but can not guarantee it.
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.
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.
