Kruger National Park was everything we hoped for and more. Staying at Nottenās Bush Camp made the experience even more unforgettable ā incredible hospitality, amazing game drives, and the chance to see the Big Five in their natural habitat was unreal.
Thereās nothing quite like heading out before sunrise and again at night, never knowing what youāre about to see next. Lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards, buffalo⦠seeing these animals in the wild is something that stays with you forever.
My recommendation though? Three to four days is the perfect amount of time. The morning and evening game drives are amazing, but theyāre also exhausting after a few days. And honestly, while every drive is different, you do start seeing a lot of the same animals and experiences over and over again. I know some people stay a week, but for us that wouldāve been way too long. Three days felt like the perfect balance to fully experience Kruger without it starting to feel repetitive.
Overall, an absolutely incredible South African experience and one weāll never forget.
