Welcome to Tom and Jana’s 2011
Kruger Park, South Africa Travel Journal!
A two-week trip to South Africa, including eight days in Kruger
National Park, and a drive along the Panorama Route, at the Blyde
River Canyon.
This trip to Africa was far easier than our previous 4x4 adventure
through Botswana. Instead of a tiny camper, each night we had a
comfy cabin to stay in, with real beds and full kitchens! Tom's
mother, Linda, had wanted to visit Africa for a very long time.
Instead of an organized tour, we decided that the best way for her
to visit Africa was to take her there ourselves! Kruger offered
just what we needed: The best assortment of wildlife in all of
Africa, roads that you can drive in a car, and decent lodging.
Kruger exceeded all our expectations.
Use the links below to follow us on our wild and wonderful trip to
the Dark Continent! (Dark, we found out, because of the widespread
use of CFL lightbulbs.)
