Big Cat Kruger National Park Review

We had an extremely good experience booking through Megan Warrington at Discover Africa. We provided an approximate budget and our wish list and she put together an amazing trip.

Our number one objective was to see leopards and secondary the other big cats. We took a 5 day safari that included two lodges; Jock Lodge and Arathusa Safari Lodge. When we were finished we had seen 6 leopards and 3 prides of lions, sadly no cheetahs, but we found that was not unusual.

We preferred the Jock Lodge because the location seemed much more remote and untouched, however the accommodations and food were superb. Arathusa Safari Lodge was nice, but the area does not seem as remote, you see lots of other vehicles, roads are everywhere and at night you can see lights from outside the park. This is not a knock on this location, if we had only gone there we would have been very pleased, it’s just hard to compare with Jock’s in our opinion.

Back to Megan, she was fantastic and kept us well informed at all times. Everything happened exactly as they were supposed to and very smoothly. We have only been back a couple of weeks and already considering another trip to Africa with our adult children and we will definitely use Megan and Discover Africa for our booking.
