Each includes extensive commentary that doesn’t just say, “Take that road because it’s good for lions,” but instead explains the geology of each area, which in turn informs the flora that grows there, the herbivores that eat that flora and, ultimately, the predators that hunt those herbivores. - Each route will help you develop an intimate insight into Kruger’s incredible wilderness. - Each of the rest camps and entrance gates is covered with short, medium and full-day routes to explore.
