All of the camps in the Kruger National Park have mobile phone communication so you can call family and friends back home to brag about what you have seen.
We have all the modern technology with us but you won’t see it, the last thing we want is for your day to be spoilt by the ringing of a phone on a game drive. If however we have a problem we can make use of the satellite phone to call for assistance.
Electricity in South Africa is 230 Volts, alternating at 50 cycles per second. If you travel to South Africa with a device that does not accept 230 Volts at 50 Hertz, you will need a voltage converter. Adaptor plugs are available at O R Tambo international airport in Johannesburg where you will transit on your way to Phalaborwa. Failing that we will probably have one that you can borrow … as the saying goes, a Bush Man makes a plan.
Even in the summer time we can have some cool mornings and evenings, so bring a jacket just in case. During the winter months you will definitely need a jacket or fleece as it gets pretty chilly once the sun sets.
You will also need:
The camps that we use are all game fenced with electric wire, so please don’t worry about your safety. You are very important to us and we would never put you in harm’s way.
Many people are concerned about spiders and snakes and other creepy crawlies. Yes we do have our share of these but seldom do we see snakes in the camps. Trust us, they are more afraid of you than you of them and tend to make a rapid exit when they sense you approaching.
Our staff are all trained to recognise anything that could possibly harm you and make sure that you are at no time put at risk. It is important to understand that animals and insects do not prey on humans, and only ever attack if threatened. We make sure that we respect their space and this averts any possible confrontation. We are often asked why we don’t carry rifles, the simple answer is that we don’t need to. When you are in a vehicle, even an open game viewer, the animals do not associate the vehicle with something that carries juicy take aways. When we collect you we advise you of our game drive safety rules and from there you are in skilled and safe hands.
Yes, all the camps that we utilize have mobile phone coverage and this coverage extends to some 5 km’s from the camps. In an emergency we have a satellite phone that can be used.
All camps except the major credit cards should you wish to purchase any items from the shops. Some of the camps also have auto tellers but these do not always work. If you need cash we can take you to an auto teller before we enter the park, and if you need more once we are in the Park we can always help you out till we get to an auto teller.
The main camp Skukuza in the Kruger Park has doctors as well as an air service. We carry a satellite phone so that we can contact emergency services if required. Please make sure that you have medical insurance before travelling and have these contact details on hand. Anyway, our food is not that bad.
Not as long as you respect their space and stay within the confines of the vehicle. We will brief you on how to conduct yourself on the game drives and basically as long as you don’t break the profile of the vehicle, animals do not perceive us as either a threat or food. We will at no stage during your time with us, knowingly put you in danger. In the unfortunate event we have a closer than anticipated encounter with our wildlife, just stay calm and listen to what your experienced guide tells you.
