Self catering? We will be self catering for 3 - 4 days in Kruger at the Skuzuka & the Crocodile Bridge Camps. I snagged some decent bungalows in both - they are almost pretty much sold out of the good ones already btw. So, it would be a hard sell that early in the trip.
Here is what I have roughly planned:
Arrive Cape Town April 28 mid-afternoon. Drive to Franschhoek. Crash for minimum 2 nights in semi-deluxe hotel/B&B. < 2500 Rand per night. Must do day trip to see penguins @ Boulders Beach.
May 1 - hotel within easy reach of CPT airport.
May 2 - fly to CPT to Windhoek, Namibia early. 5 hour drive to Sossusvlei area.
3 nights - probably
Moon Mountain Lodge
May 5 - 5 hour drive back to Windhoek. Hilton Honors @ Windhoek Hilton (booked)
May 6 - fly Windhoek to Skukuza Airport in Kruger Park via Johannesburg.
May 6 & 7 - stay in
Skukuza Rest Camp - self-drive Kruger (booked)
May 8 & 9 - stay in
Crocodile Bridge Rest Camp - self-drive Kruger (booked)
May 10 & 11 - pampered stay @
Hamiltons Tented Camp in Kruger (booked)
May 12 - 5 hr drive to Johannesburg. Hilton Honors stay at Sandton Hilton. Dinner with Willem (booked)
May 13 - fly JNB to CPT. One night in hotel within easy reach of CPT airport.
May 14 - depart CPT @ 15:40 for return flight.
Thanks for the suggestions. I will look at them all.
