We couldn't have managed without this book in Kgalagadi. It helped us so much in choosing which camp to stay in and which road to go on. It also gave us so much knowledge about the fauna, flora and history of the park. An outstanding book! Well done.

Excellent book will recommend it to anybody planning a trip to Kgalagadi.
The Kruger Self-Drive 2nd Edition is the best resource for anyone exploring the Kruger National Park on their own. It is beautifully laid out with lovely pictures and a lot of information about the different areas of the park. My favourite part of the book is the individual write ups on each of the roads which are very informative. I am very pleased I bought it and know that I am going to have many hours of happy exploring with it.
The Kruger self drive book is highly informative. I look forward to using it in the park, and trying out some of the exciting hot spot routes. My excitement level is in overdrive. I can’t wait.
A wonderful book. Print quality is outstanding and some amazing pictures. Every road in the park is listed with great write ups. The routes are great, with detailed distances and travel times. Highly recommend.
