I realize that the search engines will bring all kinds of people researching South Africa to this page, not just birders but people who are more interested in mammals.  While the routes I have chosen were selected due to my interest in birds, there are other resources to help you decide which part of Kruger National Park to visit.  It’s always good to have a mammal field guide on hand if that is your interest as you will see a lot more besides lions and elephants!

I’d go with the Kindle versions to keep your baggage weight down.  You can always take a photo and look the critter up later!  These affiliate links provide me a small commission and I do appreciate you using them for these or any purchases you make at Amazon.com
