  Hi! Thanks for the content! I am planning to stay at Kruger Gate hotel on November for my honeymoon! Can you please explain how the safari tours work?

• 
  @yuka.m29 күн бұрын

  Congratulations!! You will have fun. There are 3 types of safari tours you can choose. 1. Self drive We did self drive safari, basically. We rent a car at Skukuza Airport (You should book in advance) and drive to the hotel. If you arrive at the airport directly like me, you need to pay a park fee or show the wildcard if you have one on arrival. It's important to note that Kruger Gate Hotel isn't located inside Kruger National Park, so you need to buy an entrance ticket or show your wildcard with ID every time you enter Kruger. When we were there, we needed to park a car and go into the office to get real entrance tickets even though we had wildcards. It was a little inconvenient, and I hope Kruger Park made a digital entrance system so that you don't have to get out of the car. 2. Book a safari tour at the hotel You may receive an email regarding the safari tours they offer. Book with them. You can just show up at the hotel lobby area on time. Usually, you will have other passengers in the same vehicle. It's like a group safari tour. We did it a few times as it's convenient, and they offer a night safari. Self drive is prohibited at night, so it's a good option. 3. 3rd party safari You hire someone or a company to offer safaris at Kruger. They can pick you up at the hotel. I hope I have answered your question. Let me know if you have another question. (It was almost 2 years ago, so my answer might be out of date, though.)

• 
  @yuka.m28 күн бұрын

  If you take a tour, I believe you would see major animals more than we, self-drive tourists without any idea where to go, do. Tour guides usually communicate with other guides about where they spot specific animals, or experienced guides know the territories of major animals, so you can count on guides/drivers. At least I know they will say it's not guaranteed to see the animals..., but there are lots of animals in Kruger. I wish I lived nearby...😭 Enjoy!!😆😆

  No, I did not take the yellow fever vaccine for this trip. However, I had previously taken the vaccine for my trip to Tanzania a long time ago.

Basically, it seems that Kenya does not require the yellow fever vaccination if you are coming directly from the US. I have never been asked to show it.

  Thank you for your video review.. One of the most informative and effective reviews that I have come across.. Keep up the good work..!! We are traveling next week for our 5-night trip and your video really helped me get a great idea of what to expect at JW Masai Mara. I have a quick question about how you navigated the timings of bush drives with the rains/thunderstorms? I am checking the weather for next week and it looks like it is going to rain pretty much the entire time. Hopefully there will be some breaks in between when we can enjoy our bush breakfast/sundowners :)

• 
  @yuka.m4 ай бұрын

  Thank you for saying so!!!😊😊😊 You are so kind!!! Oh no, it looks like it's going to rain for most of your stay. Don't worry though, JW can adjust the safari timing upon request. Typically, rain doesn't last all day, so you can plan your safaris during the sunny or cloudy periods. Check the hourly forecast for the next day and decide what time you want to leave. For the morning drive, it's best to decide the day before so that the bush meals can be prepared. As for the evening drive, you can decide on the time after the morning safari. If the weather forecast predicts rain after 5PM, I suggest leaving around 2PM and returning by 5PM. This will give the safari guides a 3-hour break to return the vehicles, clean up, and have lunch. If there are other passengers, the timing will depend on their activities, such as Spa or Nature Walk appointments. In such cases, the standard safari time of 4PM to 7PM will still apply, even in rainy conditions. Please note that heavy rain makes it difficult to see animals as the plastic covers of JW vehicles have become faded and unclear. They provide ponchos to keep you dry, though... Oh, I have a great suggestion!! I really enjoyed the Ol Kiombo area. It's much drier compared to the JW main safari area. Although it takes 75 minutes to get there, it's definitely worth it. We went there 3 or 4 times. Basically, you need to exit the Masai Mara National Reserve at Talek gate, drive through the local village, and then enter the reserve again through another gate, which is Mpuai gate. The safari guides are familiar with it, as it has shorter bushes due to the dryness, making it easier to spot animals. Have a great trip!! Please feel free to reach out here if you have any further questions. 🙂🙂🙂

• 
  @yuka.m5 ай бұрын

  Oh, thank you so much again for saying so!! 😭😭😭 So nice of you! 😊😊 Sure, I can share how to plan an African trip. Well, yes, planning a DIY Africa trip can be challenging. Typically, we prefer staying at a hotel near the main airport, like the Four Points for 1 or 2 nights before and after our safari lodge stays. This ensures we don't miss any important flights back home or to the next destination. It was exciting to see that Marriott has finally opened a safari lodge (excluding Protea by Marriott Lusaka Safari Lodge). with more to come in the future. Booking safari flights online is easier after the pandemic, so you can plan an Africa trip easier. Book the hotel using Bonvoy points and book the flights online, and tell the lodge about your flight information. Oh, by the way, I take all kinds of medicine. Pain relief, diarrhea, and malaria (JW said we didn't have to worry about malaria, but I took some anyway), etc... Also, Kenya won't accept the arrival visa anymore, so be careful. We got an E-visa, but we noticed there was a new visa(?) system, ETA, to enter Kenya starting January 2024, so it was confusing. And usually African people prefer newer bills as cash tips, like issued after 2017? But JW was OK with older bills. I hope you make a great trip plan for you and your family.. Let me know if you have any other questions.😉😉 Thanks again for watching my video.🥰🥰

My hesitation at that moment was unfortunate, but I strongly advise you to clearly communicate your preferences to them, ensuring that they understand what you do not desire.
