Kruger in july?
 

I am planning to do a self drive trip to Kruger in July and I have some questions. I know that some of them have been discussed earlier, but here we go again.. :)

I have been reading on sanparks.org that you could get a wild card instead of paying the daily entry fee? I have seen that a family wild card for international visitors cost 1795R, but that is pretty good compared to 300 R a day for myself, my wife and son.But is this correct?

A reliable car company in South Africa? What are the cost for a Class B car?

Which camps to stay in Kruger? (I have my 3 year old son with me(and his mother :) )
Which one are the best? (for location, not to many crowds, svimmningpools etc)

I know that july should be pretty good for gameviewing, but I read that we should try to avoid the south african school holidays. But when are they? And how bad is it?

Yes, it's correct that a family international wild card is a better deal than paying the daily fee, even if there are only two of you. And it's nice to think that if you should suddenly find yourself able to go back in less than a year, you'll be able to use it again! (*smile*)

If you do an internet search, you should find the dates for the July school holidays. I believe they are from June 20th - July 20th.

Thanks for the info...

I tried checking availability in Kruger during the school holidays (which is from 22.June to 15. july) and I wasn´t that good. Most camps were already fully booked.

But I think I just change my travel plans a bit.. But if anyone has more info, just keep it coming :)

I like the idea of going back in less than a year Celia... :)
