A Kruger Park Tour is Ideal For Your Family Holiday

There are few things that excite children more than going on holiday to see wild animals.  They often come with sticker books filled with elephants and lions, checklists to tick off each different creature they spot, and of course their cameras (usually on their cell phone these days – so you can be sure they will be sending them to their friends to show off).

 

Visiting the Kruger Park is also a unique way of bringing the family closer together.  You can have competitions on who can spot animals first, have delicious snack stops along the way when you reach different camps or picnic spots, chat for hours in the car as you drive slowly through the park, and then sit in shared silence at waterholes as you wait patiently for different animals to pass through. 

 

When you return to your camp in the evenings, you can share stories around the campfire and have a special African braai under the stars.  Even behind closed gates you will be able to search for critters with your torch and teach your children about different animals and their behaviour.  It’s a fun biology lesson outside of the classroom and they won’t even be aware that they are learning.

In the year 1927, only three cars of visitors where allowed to enter the Kruger Park Tour.  Now it is the privilege of thousands of families, but still a rare one for most.  This is a unique opportunity to offer your children, which is far more adventurous and thrilling than the average seaside holiday.  There are a number of different activities to choose from, in addition to driving in your own car.  You may choose to experience the diverse bird life from secret hideaways, go on a Kruger Park tour, or head out in a 4x4 for a true Kruger Park Safari experience.

 

Your children will enjoy sharing their stories when they return to school, and the photographs make for ideal project material.  In addition, they will have speeches planned for the entire year.  There is so much to learn and research when on holiday, in addition to the well-deserved relaxation and downtime.
