Since then, I\u2019ve planned countless itineraries for my clients, combining the wine regions, Hermanus, Plettenberg Bay, and finishing with a safari near Port Elizabeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But this year, I finally had the perfect reason to return: my cousin\u2019s wedding in Wellington, just outside Cape Town. And of course, I couldn\u2019t resist turning it into something more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This time, my partner, Nico, and I decided to explore the northeast and properly experience a safari in Kruger National Park, given I wanted to see almost EVERYTHING for all my customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Arrival &amp; First Impressions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We landed in Johannesburg and picked up our rental car- and I have to say, the process was incredibly smooth. Everything was well organized, efficient, and surprisingly relaxed. What stood out the most was how genuinely friendly everyone was\u2014honestly, much nicer than in many other countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A small but important tip: we took a quick video of the car during pickup and checked that everything was there, including the spare wheel. Especially when heading into more remote areas, it just gives you peace of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I had deliberately chosen <strong>not to fly directly into Kruger<\/strong>, even though there are convenient regional airports. Instead, I wanted to drive- to see more of the country and, quite honestly, to be able to give better, firsthand advice to my travel agency clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And I\u2019m so glad we did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About two hours into the drive, roughly halfway to Graskop, we stopped at <em>Milly\u2019s Trout Farm<\/em>. It turned out to be the perfect break\u2014beautiful setting, very good Wi-Fi (which we of course used to catch up on a bit of work), and a really nice, relaxed lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Exactly the kind of stop you want on a longer drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then, of course, the first adjustment: driving on the <strong>left-hand side<\/strong>. It takes a moment (especially at roundabouts \ud83d\ude04), but you get used to it quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Panorama Route &amp; Graskop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our first stop was Graskop, about 4.5 hours from Johannesburg. The drive already gives you a sense of the landscape, but the real magic starts once you arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Within a short distance, you\u2019ll find God\u2019s Window, the Blyde River Canyon, Bourke\u2019s Luck Potholes, and multiple waterfalls. It\u2019s one of those areas where you constantly stop the car because the views just keep getting better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We only stayed one night- which, in hindsight, was too short. If you\u2019re already making the journey, give it at least two nights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That evening, we ended up at <em>The Glass House<\/em>. Great steak, very generous glasses of wine (really\u2026 generous \ud83d\ude04), and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Into the Wild: Private Reserve vs. Kruger<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next day, we continued towards our safari lodge in a private reserve within Greater Kruger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here, the experience feels more raw and immersive. Guides can drive off-road, which allows for closer encounters with wildlife and a more exclusive atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We stayed for two nights and loved it- and yes, here we were very happy to have an SUV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>SUV or Not? (A Question I Get All the Time)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we later entered Kruger National Park, I was genuinely surprised by how good the roads are- completely tarred and very easy to drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So technically, you don\u2019t need an SUV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But would I still recommend one? Absolutely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not because you have to\u2014but because it enhances the experience. You sit higher, you see more, and when animals are close, that extra perspective makes a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Learning the Rules of Safari<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the most valuable parts of the trip was starting with guided game drives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don\u2019t just see animals- you learn how to behave around them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Simple but crucial things, like:<br>staying quiet, respecting distance, and knowing how to react in certain situations. For example, if an elephant approaches and seems irritated, you switch off the engine and wait- not something you want to figure out on your own in the moment \ud83d\ude04<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are the kinds of insights that make self-driving in the park later much more relaxed and enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Unexpected Wildlife Moments<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then there are the moments you simply cannot plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We saw lions, elephants, and zebras quite quickly- but the most special moment came later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A rhino, completely alone, right next to the road. No other cars. Just us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We just sat there, watching, almost in disbelief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s safari. You can\u2019t plan it- and that\u2019s exactly why it stays with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A Stay Like No Other: Kruger Shalati<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure

loud \ud83d\ude04<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The perfect ending to the trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tipping in South Africa<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re planning a trip, I would always recommend mixing these elements and taking your time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because South Africa is
