In the low season, reservations are not necessary in campgrounds + you'll practically be alone! |
Except for Kruger where reservations are always recommended. | |

Back-country camping in the wide open nature: never a bad choice either. |

Among the basic rules: Don't drive at night, avoid sensitive areas. Just follow your good judgement! |

General Info
Extraordinary country with many campsites and a developed road network.
Avoid driving at night and always spend the night in established campsites.
It is important to reserve your campsite in advance during peak seasons.
For 5 - 6 passengers we recommend booking long in advance.
For certain park and nature reserve roads (except Kruger) a 4x4 vehicle is recommended.
