Itinerary description

Show original
Enter the Kruger Park through the Phalaborwa Gate to start our 7-day tour of the park. We rented a car (the smallest one there was, so it was not the best neither to see, nor to feel safe) and we started with a lot of desire to deviate by the dirt tracks and small detours, until we realized that if you You moved away much of everything, in case of puncture (and by land this is much more probable) we would have to get out of the car to change the wheel (something strictly forbidden in areas not enabled in Kurger), so little by little we became aware that it was better to go by asphalt so as not to risk so much.
We did our first night at the Mopani Camp, and it was without doubt one of the camps that we liked the most. We took a walk immediately after arriving inside the enclosure, since these were the few places where you could walk without danger (thanks to the electrified fence).
