  Easter self-drive rush

  25. mar – 20. apr · vanligvisPåske og stillehelgMye folkBestill tidlig

  Four public holidays land inside a fortnight and the southern camps fill with self-drivers. The bush is still thick from the summer rain, so it is the busiest roads and the hardest sightings of the year. Kilde ↗

  Dry season game viewing

  1. mai – 30. sep · vanligvisMye folk

  The grass drops, the bush opens up and the animals come to the rivers and the pans, so this is the easy half of the year to see anything. Mornings in an open vehicle start cold enough for a blanket.

Skuldersesong — skoleferie i 2 av markedene som fyller stedet, en helt vanlig måned

• Sesong

  Green season

  1. nov – 31. mar · vanligvisMonsun

  The bush closes in and the game scatters, but the impala are dropping lambs and the predators follow them. Rates fall, the day visitors thin out and the light after a storm is the best of the year.

• Natur

  Summer migrants arrive

  1. nov – 31. mar · vanligvisFuglesesong

  Woodland kingfishers, carmine bee-eaters and the storks come back with the rain, and the kingfisher's call starting up in November is the local signal that the season has turned.

• Fare

  Malaria season

  1. nov – 31. mai · vanligvisInsekter og sykdom

  Kruger is a low-risk area but not a no-risk one, and the risk sits in the wet months, running towards its peak late in them. Prophylaxis is the standard advice and covering up after dark is the minimum. Kilde ↗
