the world's smartest travel social network
If, like us, you’ve been thinking about an African safari for ages but always found an excuse: it’s too far, I have to get vaccines… follow our advice, it’s time to put your fears behind you and embark on the adventure of a lifetime.
When you do, make sure you organize the trip thru a specialised travel agent, the choices are overwhelming otherwise. My goal was seeing as many elephants as possible so mine organised our trip to southern Africa for their winter (August), when foliage is arid and it’s much easier to spot them.
We flew from Johannesburg, South Africa to Skukuza, a hub next to the iconic Kruger Park. That’s where we get our first surprise. The intimate airport is gorgeous, spotless and its staff are the kindest people I’ve met. This becomes the norm throughout the whole trip.
Our first stop is Sabi Sands, a private reserve next to Kruger. Its key advantage is that, at Kruger, you can only glimpse animals from the road. In Sabi Sands, the guides are free to drive off road to be next to the animals.
