Stop rhino poaching!

With great sorrow we heart about the slaughtering of yet another five rhinos in South Africa over the weekend.
Tomorrow, Wednesday, September 22 is Rhino Day, a campaign spearheaded by the World Wildlife Fund and several partners to encourage the public to help support South Africa’s rhino warriors. The WWF is calling on all concerned citizens to dust off their vuvuzelas and make as much noise as possible at 13h00 to send a message to leaders that the time to take serious and effective action against rhino poaching is now.

Kruger National Park: Day visitors

With only 10 km to the nearest gate, Dreamfields Guesthouse is the ideal base for day visitors to the Park. There is a maximum threshold of day visitors who can enter the Park and especially on public holidays and long weekends access could be denied. It is recommended to enter the Park when the gate opens at 05:30 (in summer) or 06:00 (in winter), early mornings are usually the most productive game viewing periods.
Dreamfields Guesthouse will provide you with a packed breakfast that you can enjoy at one of the day visitor areas in a rest camp or just stop at one of the waterholes.
Plan you trip-the Kruger National Park is massive tract of land and frequently visitors try to cover too much ground. A map of the Park can be purchased at Dreamfields Guesthouse and we are happy to assist you planning your tour. Remember to bring a camera, binoculars, sunscreen lotion, a hat and the map (which also gives you information about mammals and birds).
Rules:
Speed limits: 50 km/h on tar roads, 40 km/h on gravel roads – no off-road driving.
Other than in the designated areas, visitors must remain in their vehicle. No part of the body may protrude from a window or sunroof.
To ensure that you see all the animals you want, have a look at the board in the various receptions to track the latest game spotting.
If you want to cool down: A swimming pool is available at Skukuza day visitor site.

Spring is here!

With today`s temperature up to 32 degrees and lovely blue sky it is obvious: Spring is here! In Skukuza, the main camp of the Kruger National Park, the temperature will go up to 36 degrees. Spring is a very good time to visit the Kruger Park because it is the end of the dry season and the grasses are low. And it is also an ideal time for all the other activities like Quad Biking, River-Rafting or Hot-Air Ballooning. Enjoy the spring in the Lowveld before temperatures and humidity rise!
