Discover the Kruger National Park with Discover Kruger Safaris

A self-drive safari is ok, but the easiest way to explore the majestic Kruger National Park and discover its beautiful landscapes, its fauna and flora is with Discover Kruger Safaris, based in Komatipoort, Mpumalanga.

With Discover Kruger Safaris, you sit back, relax and let their experienced, professional guides take you on memorable morning and full day game drives. Yes, you can try to navigate this vast park by yourself, but a guided safari is the best way to seek out the animals and the best adventure spots.

Discover Kruger Safaris mostly operates in the southern parts of the park – covering the grasslands, thicket and riverine habitats.

Whether you are going as a group, family or romantic couple, their game drives or safaris let you enjoy your holidays while still social distancing. Many of their previous guests also had many wonderful things to say about Discover Kruger Safaris.

Reviews from previous guests

“It does not matter how many time you have been to Kruger a drive with Jean is always recommended for an amazing and unforgettable experience,” wrote Murray Graham on their TripAdvisor page.

Yechiel R added; “Jean is a wonderful game driver. She drives safely and knows all the paths and roads of the Kruger Park. Jean is a splendid person that gives you the feeling she is there for you / she also knows every tree and animal there is in the park, and love to answer all kind of questions you have about the flora and fauna. She is very good game driver. Recommended.”

“Had a fantastic morning with Jean in Kruger. Despite some heavy rain on the way in we saw all the big 5 & some. Jean was very knowledgeable & a great guide. We saw elephant, buffalo, rhino, lions, impala, kudu, wildebeest, giraffe, wart hogs, hyena, wild dogs & a leopard with cub & kill! Many birds of prey but most were looking pretty bedraggled sitting in trees due to the rain. Late morning the birds started taking flight as the thermals increased. A great morning, would highly recommend,” said suveran1.

About us

Actually, Home Food and Travel offers a lot more than just reviews of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities. We also visit great destinations, receive advice from interior designers and stop to smell the roses and taste the coffee.

Home Food and Travel advice on finding the right accommodation

So what is the right accommodation? Well more often than not, it’s your travel budget that dictates the type of accommodation that you choose.

Expensive is not always better. Our team at Home Food and Travel will tell you that they have camped in areas with limited ablutions and had a wonderful holiday. They have also spent a night in a five star hotel only to be disappointed because their expectations exceeded the experience.

The reason for your travels will also affect your choice. A business trip requires different amenities to a beach holiday.

Our articles, reviews and experiences can certainly help you make your decision.

Restaurants with a good mix of service, food and ambiance

To my mind a great restaurant offers three things – excellent service, great food and a wonderful ambiance. Of these, service is the most important.

No matter that the food is delicious and the setting delightful, poor service can ruin the occasion. However, great service combined with mediocre meal and a plane jane restaurant can still be a pleasant night out.

We’ve eaten in restaurants that are really dirty but with incredible food and couldn’t help but give a rave review. We’ve also hardly noticed what we ate because the setting was just amazing.

However, the best restaurants come with the best of service, food and ambiance.

Spas are the ultimate relaxation aid

How do you know when you have had a great spa experience? The answer, of course, is when you doze off on the treatment table.

Well that’s our theory anyway. It also doesn’t take a grand location with enormous facilities for a spa to be really good

A small, personal spa that is owner run can result in the best massage you have ever experienced. However, the grand spas in five star hotels offer unsurpassed facilities in an environment that just makes the stress in your shoulders and neck melt away before you even finish checking in.

Adventure!

You don’t have to be an adrenaline junky to enjoy an exciting experience. In fact, what are commonly termed adventure activities usually have incredibly high safety standards and unblemished safety records.

Ziplining, bungy jumping and shark cage diving are all very safe. It’s just that our mind tells us we are craaazzzzyyyy to be doing this.

On the road to great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities

If you’re driving, be safe and make use of all the wonderful farm stalls that populate South Africa’s open roads.

If you overhear somebody asking a lot of questions or see someone taking photos of empty bedrooms chances are it’s one of our Home Food and Travel team members.

We’re out looking or those great places of accommodation, restaurants, spas and adventure activities.

See you on the road!
