All normal camps, and camping camps excluding Olifants and Balule, including Tambotie. Of the Bushveld camps have only stayed at Bateleur. Will be adding Sirheni and Shipandane in April. Only camps I have not seen are Balule, Boulders, Roodewal and Shimuwini. And then there is Sable hide still :thumbs_up:

I have been going to Kruger my whole life. Being only 25, over the last 3 years I have been going with my girlfriend and booking/staying without my parents. What I have found is that it is far better, I feel, to stay longer at each camp and stay at fewer. Below are all the camps I have stayed in over the last three years:

-Shingwedzi
-Mopani
-Letaba
-Tamboti
-Orpen
-Olifants
-Satara
-Lower Sabie
-Skukuza
-Pretoriuskop

The first few visits I tried to stay at all the camps and so there was alot of moving. I have booked my next visit from 1-14 december 2011. This time I rather booked selected camps and made sure we would be staying a minimum of 2 nights at a camp. Below is my trip which I think will be the best yet!

-1,2,3 December Pretoriuskop
-4,5,6,7 December Satara
-8,9 December Mopani
-10,11 December Lower Sabie
-12,13 Decmber Berg en Dal
