Johannesburg-Kruger, my next adventure

Storytime, folks! I was in a big doubt if I should make my way to the Kruger National Park, the biggest safari of South Africa and one of the biggest one of the workd all the way from Cape Town as it’s extremely far and typically very expensive. So I did quite some research to see what possibilities are there, collected them, narrowed it down to three tour operators, and ended up posting it in a Facebook group that is for travellers in South Africa to get some advice which one to choose. This post turned out to work is magic and a girl commented super soon after that actually there is an amazing backpacking hostel in the park (fine, a private park right next to Kruger) with amazing vibe and they organize game drives as well as some other trips/hikes too. Interesting! No matter how hard I tried to find some bad reviews about the hostel, I could only read amazing things so I just had to go for it: booked my flights to Johannesburg (2 hours), my transfer (6 hours) and my stay from Sunday to Friday. Today I woke up at 5 am and reached my final destination around 7 pm and found myself in the coolest hostel EVER. ✨ I quickly made friends with the hostel staff and agreed to go to the safari tomorrow morning together as I was the only guest for now. Lions, leopards, elephants, giraffes, better prepare yourselves, I’m coming!!! 🦒🐘🦬🐆🦁Read more
