The Big Five within a single morning's drive if the luck holds, a private lodge with a waterhole instead of a television, and a braai under more stars than the city ever showed you.
The best time to visit Kruger & the South African Lowveld is May–Sep, when typical daytime highs reach about 26°C (80°F).
