FUN FACTS From the lively metropolitan city of Cape Town to the stunning coastal scenery of Hermanus to the coveted leopard sightseeing in Kruger National Park , every moment is both thrilling and unique . Before this trip , I did not have an appreciation for just how spiritual seeing a rare and critically endangered family of Black Rhino would feel .
MELISSA ’ S TIPS FOR ANDREW HARPER MEMBERS TRAVELING TO SOUTH AFRICA :
In the northeastern game areas in and around Kruger National Park , the ideal time of year for a safari is the cool , dry season from July to October when the weather is nice , the bush has thinned and the animals are forced to congregate near permanent sources of water . December to March should be avoided due to the consistent rain . From April to July , the bush is lush and dense , and the animals scatter , owing to an abundance of water .
WHAT TO PACK Pack an extra small bag or leave room in your luggage for souvenirs . There is no better place to find local , handcrafted items like leather goods , art , clothing , spices and collectibles to cue your memory .
