Kruger National Park Tour

During one of the few days off we have, my husband – a qualified field guide – took the chance today and guided me on a tour to the Kruger National Park. A couple of weeks into the rainy season I was amazed how much the vegetation in the Park has grown and how green it was. It was even hard to spot an elephant.
As my husband always seems to find Leopard, I was banking on him finding one. He did not disappoint me!!
We even drove along the Crocodile River where we could see Leopard Creek Country Club where the Alfred Dunhill Championship is ending today.

FIFA World Cup 2010: Booking essential!

After the final draw the fans are busy organising their tours through South Africa.
One of the most important things will be to watch the live matches but many of the visitors want to get the most out of their stay in South Africa.
One of the “must do`s” is a visit to the world-renowned Kruger National Park. It offers a wildlife experience that ranks with the best in Africa!
It is getting more and more complicated to organise tours and day trips to the Kruger National Park or even other activities like Elephant Interaction or Bush Walks because big groups and FIFA booked well in advance.
Dreamfields Guesthouse works with some local tour operators and is still able to organize tours and other activities.
