5 GENERAL TRAVEL INFO Game Drive Vehicles On game drives you are able to get a lot closer to big game. Because it is a private reserve, rangers have permission to go off road. The animals are generally habituated to the vehicle. This means that they are used to the vehicle approaching them and know that it never causes them harm. This enables to you to get within five to 10 metres of the large animals and safely! All game drives are conducted in open 4 x 4 Toyota Land Cruisers or Land Rovers. What to Pack During the summer months the weather can be hot and sticky. You may want to bring a few outfits. Comfortable walking shoes Sun hat, sunglasses and sunblock Cameras and binoculars Light, neutral coloured clothing Bathing suit Warm jackets essential in winter (May Oct) Beanie and gloves the mornings are cold during winter Malaria The Klaserie region is a low risk malaria area. It is best to consult your local Doctor for advice. Generally, the type of medication needed for the Kruger area is Malarone, Doxycycline or Melfloquine. Mosquitos are more prevalent in the wet, warmer season. Mosquito repellent and creams are also great preventative measures.
