The Experience
Before You Go
Early mornings for best sightings
Plan to be outside before sunrise for game drives and to catch the golden light on Table Mountain; mornings are when animals are most active.
Malaria precautions in Kruger
Consult your doctor about prophylaxis and bring insect repellent and long sleeves for evening bush walks near Kruger.
Local currency and tipping
Carry some South African rand for small purchases and tips; most lodge bills can be settled by card but guides and staff appreciate cash gratuities.
Binoculars and camera etiquette
Bring a compact pair of binoculars and a zoom lens; avoid loud noises and sudden movements around wildlife—your guide will direct safe viewing distances.

Conservation Note
Many private reserves bordering Kruger operate under community and conservation agreements focused on habitat protection and anti-poaching; choose operators that support local employment and responsible wildlife viewing.
Cape Town developed as a refreshment station for Dutch East India shipping in the 1600s; the Lowveld region has long been home to indigenous groups and later game reserves established in the 20th century.
