A few weeks ago I started digging into my first trip to Africa. Since then I have spoken with so many people and collected so much information but also have so many more questions.
We have decided that our whole family is going to do a 3 week trip to RSA in summer of 2022. Im thinking about half of this will be hunting and about half a family vacation. I’m very excited about this but wondering if anyone has done a similar trip that would be willing to offer some information about their experience.
My family is outdoorsy and loves to be outside. I imagine that they will accompany me often during my time hunting but also won’t be up for long hours of walking like I will do this leaves me with the question of what can I expect for them.
some of the questions that come to mind are;
What is life like at the lodges? Are there things for the wife and kids to do if I’m away hunting? Will swimming pools be usable for a couple of Canadian kids in august? We are used to cold lakes?
how many days in a row should I plan on hunting before going breaking it up and heading to do some other things with the family?
we are going to plan a trip to Krueger, how many days should I plan for that and do you think an 8 year old will tolerate full days? Other than looking at wildlife what does Krueger have to offer?
what are some must do activities we should try to fit in while there as a family?
what are some of the possible negative things I should try to expect and plan for?
Thank you for your time. This place has been incredibly informative.
