3 Views of Kruger in One Week
Wild Kruger的点评
点评：We were on our first safari and picked Kruger for its legendary reputation and the Sabie Sands area for the best guarantee of seeing "big cats".
Wild Kruger's Johan Beuys responded to our preferences/requests and arranged for us to stay in 3 places for 3 very different experiences.
We had 2 days at Hippo Hollow Hotel in Hazyview so we could do the Panorama route. It was stupendous and something you shouldn't miss! The day was overcast, foggy at times, and rainy--yet everything we saw was just jaw-dropping!! We had Jeanette as our guide from Langa Langa and she was wonderful, informative, caring about our experience professional and a safe, responsible driver! Hippo Hollow has beautiful rooms, comfortable beds, security, and wonderful landscaping. However, you are a prisoner there unless you have your own car. We had arrived about 4pm and wanted to walk to a nearby restaurant, but of course, then take an Uber or taxi back. The man doing intake was truly alarmed at this idea and said it wasn't safe--at any time. Turns out there are no Ubers or taxis in Hazyview. Your only option is to have their buffet dinners.
We then moved to Kruger National Park with our guide Frans for 2 nights in a rondavel (#206) on the river in Skukuza Rest Camp. The experience was much more rustic -- which we could deal with. However, the safe in the closet did not work and our bathroom window had no latch or lock--only 2 holes in the metal where the lock had been. There was no security for the room. We brought our valuables with us on each game drive as a result. The office person we asked for help told us NONE of the safes work in the park! The trade off however was having the most astounding, knowledgeable, informative, passionate guide we have ever encountered. Frans is an outstanding professional and we were so lucky and grateful to have him! He is a natural teacher and has vast comprehensive knowledge of animal behavior, plant life, topography, weather, the environment, as well as S Africa. Johan provided vouchers for our meals at The Cattle Baron which were very good and we can also recommend.
Sadly, we left Frans but then moved on to the much smaller and intimate Umkumbe Safari Lodge for 2 more nights. This is a private game reserve further north on the Sabie River. We had a large, beautifully outfitted room (with safe) with a verandah and outdoor shower. There was cold water in a thermos, air con, coffee/tea making equipment, and a beautiful bathroom. The buffet food was good overall. We were a little surprised to find lemonade/iced tea/even some salads and meats excessively sweet. Taste first!
Luckily, Frans had taught us so much about wildlife and the region that we had a good time nevertheless on their game drives. It's all in the GUIDES. The person we had at Umkumbe was rather young and, though he would answer a direct question about something, he rarely presented information, background, or explanations for what we were seeing or MIGHT see. We (all 7 of us) rode around in silence for long periods! One of us did try to jolly him along, but he didn't take the hint. He didn't seem to grasp basic guiding? Such a missed opportunity. At one point he even said to ask him questions. Ok, but new tourists to SA need some enlightenment first and then they'll have a million questions! The trackers, both Sipho and Forward are pros and found animals for us: 2 leopard sightings, giraffes, elephants, hyenas, impalas, a rhino and a hippo. Be aware there is no tracker on the morning drives. Some of the other guides seemed more professional and experienced.
All in all, Wild Kruger provided a varied, interesting safari experience for us responding to the interests we enquired about from the beginning. They respond quickly to WhatsApp messages and are unfailingly polite and thoughtful in their replies. We thank you Johann and Rochelle for all you did to introduce us to Kruger!

翻译：这是我们的第一次狩猎之旅，我们选择了克鲁格，因为它享有传奇的声誉，而萨比沙地区是观赏“大型猫科动物”的最佳保证。
Wild Kruger 的 Johan Beuys 响应了我们的喜好/要求，为我们安排了 3 个地方的住宿，获得 3 种截然不同的体验。
我们在Hazyview的Hippo Hollow Hotel酒店待了两天，这样我们就可以走全景路线。这真是太棒了，你不应该错过！那天阴沉沉的，有时有雾，还下雨——但我们所看到的一切却令人瞠目结舌！我们有来自兰加兰加的珍妮特作为我们的导游，她很棒，信息丰富，关心我们的专业经验，而且是一个安全、负责任的司机！ Hippo Hollow 拥有漂亮的房间、舒适的床、安全性和美妙的景观。然而，除非你有自己的汽车，否则你就是那里的囚犯。我们下午 4 点左右到达，想步行到附近的一家餐馆，但当然，然后乘坐 Uber 或出租车回来。负责摄入食物的男子对这个想法确实感到震惊，并表示这在任何时候都不安全。结果 Hazyview 没有 Uber 或出租车。你唯一的选择就是吃他们的自助晚餐。
然后我们和导游 Frans 一起前往克鲁格国家公园，在斯库库扎休息营 (Skukuza Rest Camp) 河畔的 rondavel (#206) 住了 2 晚。这种体验更加质朴——我们可以应对。然而，壁橱里的保险箱坏了，我们浴室的窗户没有闩锁或锁——只有锁所在的金属上有两个孔。房间里没有保安。因此，我们在每次比赛时都随身携带了贵重物品。我们寻求帮助的办公室人员告诉我们公园里的保险箱都不起作用！然而，代价是拥有我们遇到过的最令人惊叹、知识渊博、信息丰富、热情的导游。弗兰斯是一位杰出的专业人士，我们非常幸运和感激拥有他！他是一位天生的老师，对动物行为、植物生命、地形、天气、环境以及南非有着广泛而全面的了解。约翰为我们在 The Cattle Baron 提供的餐券非常好，我们也可以推荐。
遗憾的是，我们离开了弗兰斯，但随后又搬到了更小、更私密的乌姆库姆贝游猎旅馆 (Umkumbe Safari Lodge) 又住了两晚。这是萨比河以北的一个私人野生动物保护区。我们有一个宽敞、设备齐全的房间（带保险箱），还有一个阳台和室外淋浴。热水瓶里有冷水、空调、咖啡/茶冲泡设备和漂亮的浴室。自助餐食物总体不错。我们有点惊讶地发现柠檬水/冰茶/甚至一些沙拉和肉类都太甜了。先尝尝！
幸运的是，弗兰斯教了我们很多关于野生动物和这个地区的知识，尽管如此，我们还是在他们的驱车游戏中度过了一段愉快的时光。一切都在指南中。我们在 Umkumbe 的那个人相当年轻，尽管他会直接回答有关某事的问题，但他很少提供信息、背景或对我们所看到或可能看到的内容的解释。我们（我们七个人）默默地骑了很长一段时间！我们中的一个人确实试图逗他开心，但他没有接受暗示。他似乎连基本的引导都没有掌握？这样的机会错失了。有一次他甚至说要问他问题。好吧，但是新来南澳的游客首先需要一些启发，然后他们就会有一百万个问题！追踪者 Sipho 和 Forward 都是专业人士，为我们发现了动物：两头豹子、长颈鹿、大象、鬣狗、黑斑羚、犀牛和河马。请注意，早上开车时没有追踪器。其他一些导游似乎更专业、更有经验。
总而言之，野生克鲁格为我们提供了多样化、有趣的狩猎体验，满足了我们从一开始就询问的兴趣。他们对 WhatsApp 消息做出快速回复，并且在回复中始终保持礼貌和周到。我们感谢约翰和罗谢尔为将我们介绍给克鲁格所做的一切！
