We are raring to go and lots of people have been asking for our plans. I have to admit that i am pretty proud of myself for bringing this in on budget…. John told me maximum budget was £5,000 not our usual £8000/10,000 …it was a challenge I couldn’t resist……
Those of you who know me know I don’t do “slumming it”… I like my comforts…. I wont share a bathroom so everything has to be ensuite. I have to have air-conditioning in hot climates and I wont camp where creepy crawlies could get into bed with me !!!!! But none of that is a problem when you visit Kruger National Park in South Africa. We have been many, many times…c;oclcking up over three and a half years of accumulated time spent in Kruger…so you could say we know what we are doing.

I got superb prices for our flights. If you decide to use them please tell them that 2jsworldofadventure recommended them, they will then give you the best possible price. The trick is to be flexible with your dates. If you want a really cheap price ask them to look at indirect flights – these often involve a change in Addis Ababa or Rwanda. The only reason we don’t do this is because the flight change and lay-over are at inhospitable times…we are aging and need our beauty sleep. So we fly direct… this time we found British airways on a certain day were incredibly well priced….So a big shout-out for DialAFlight – Thanks Maisie and Sean.
Through experiences earlier this year, when we hired a car to drive around Portugal and Southern Spain, we have found Holiday Autos to be tremendous value. Our car hire in both Iberia and South Africa is less than half the price of hiring direct and you still collect the vehicle from a top brand name. We also took out both times the AXA fully comprehensive car insurance as an additional but with-in the price I’ve put on the planning document.
I’ve included in our trip all our favourite Kruger Camps plus a few luxury nights at the start and the end of our Safari.
Hope you’ll find the planning document useful and feel confident in doing a Do-It-Yourself Safari in the future. If you have any questions just email me on 2jsworldofadventure@gmail.com and i will do my best to help answer your queries.
