Unmatchable experience!

This was my first trip to Africa, and seeing so much wildlife, so close to our guide's truck, was breathtaking. Others have told me that they prefer other parks and game reserves because of the lack of greenery, but my group was very satisfied with our experience.

We were lucky enough to stay inside the park's borders, at Skukuza camp. We were glad to be able to do so, since having to leave the camp each evening and drive back in the morning would have minimized our morning/evening wildlife drive windows; most animals are more active during those hours.

It's impossible to predict what animals you will see on any given drive, and some of ours were disappointing. Others were stunning! After being told leopards are only rarely spotted in the park, we saw two on the same drive, one ambling across the road. On another occasion we hadn't seen anything particularly for the first hour or so, then stumbled across our first, huge herd of zebras.

There were plenty of other people around, both at Skukuza and driving around the park. It was impossible to forget the real world when you spotted other cars every five or ten minutes. Still, for someone who's previously only seen this kind of wildlife in zoos, it was a life-changing experience.

Great, but often has too many people, and there can be too many cars at good sightings.

Fabulous place especially if it is your first safari
It is a long day from 5.00 am to 3.30 pm and the dirt track roads were being paired because of extensive rain two weeks before we arrived. Some roads were closed.
The guides were very informative and took us different routes each day,
The vehicles were very clean and well maintained. We were not allowed out of the vehicles in the park.
During the two days we spotted 4 of the 5 main preditor animals. The leopard stayed hidden!
We came back to the main areas / gates for breakfast and lunch breaks which we bought from cafes and shops.

We only had 1 day available to explore the park due to very important rainfall. We would have love to have more time.
Our tour operator did not perform as expected and completely ruined our experience.

Spotted all big 5 - and the ugly 5 too
Scenic tour was great
Bitumen roads don't really mean bush vibe to me and we weren't really into the birds as such.

Saw African wild dog and saw tons of wildlife. Hence the high score. Missing both cheetah and leopard.

Very dense Bush, good sightings in October due to dryness, small animal groups, good variety of animals
