Kruger National Park

From the first day we got here, everyone told us that we have to make our first vacation a trip up to Kruger. So, over the recent Heritage Day holiday weekend, we packed up the Everest and headed for Gomo Gomo Game Lodge.

Gomo Gomo is a game lodge located on the Klaseri Private Reserve. Klaseri basically has a large piece of land that is open to the Kruger Park, which means the animals roam the entire area, but since Klase

ri is private, you have far less people driving around looking (or scaring away) at the animals.

I’ve always enjoyed the outdoors, so it’s no surprise that I love the African Bush. The natural beauty and wide open spaces are something to be seen. Each day while at Gomo Gomo, we got up at 530AM and joined a professional Ranger Guide on a game drive. What is so spectacular about the Kruger is that while there are some fences around the lodges and such, when you are out on the game drives, you are totally exposed to the animals. It’s a little intimidating, but at the same time the Rangers are professionals and really know what they are doing and provide a safe experience.

We will be going back to Kruger again sometime – what a spectacular place.
