  Jaryn S. asked:

  Hi can anyone recommend a nice and reasonable place to stay in the Kruger Park in September with kids - I'm from Johannesburg so not too far up North - not camping, preferably a hotel

  

  Fiona S. replied:

  Sept is school holidays and a lot of the camps are already booked. Phone Sanparks on monday on 011 678 8870 and they will assist you. Great service from that office.

  Lynne G. asked:

  I am wanting to go to the Kruger for two weeks around Christmas time, and would like to stay a week each in two camps, would really like a view from the hut /tent / house as my partner is disabled and not able to walk much. Could anybody suggest which camps and even which unit number. Look forward to hearing back from you.

  

  Marguerette J. replied:

  You need to book asap. We are going to Kruger in December and it is fully booked. It is easy when you book, book a bungalow for a disabled person. They will help you. And ask them for a view. Phone this number 011-6788870 direct bookings.

  Marguerette Jutte & Lynne Grubb reservation house (011-6788870) could not book a disabled unit for me last year, Machelle of reservation house had to phone central reservations and they made my booking. If you want to phone remember their lines open at 07H30 am. Usually easier to get thru at that time. Lynne and if it is fully book remember to keep trying their is always cancellations. Central Reservations Tel 012 428 9111.
