Johannesburg to Kruger - 5/27/2026

Today we drove from Johannesburg to Kruger, we had several stops along the way and one of those was a rest area that had quite a few animals in fenced fields beyond the shops and far off into the distance.

When we arrived at Kruger national park we checked into our rooms in a nice little lodge. The rooms were sort of motel style with a door to the outside, they had a bathrom and a large bedroom with a bed surrounded by mosquito netting so that we were able to be bug free at night. The main reception area of the hotel had a bar and a restaurant as well as a pool and lake with a common area that had a large seating area with a barbeque.
