Whether you are a Kruger family who visits the park at every chance you get or whether you are visiting for the first time, you will love these two books.
The first book is the storybook We are going to Kruger National Park, written by Liza M Roux. This is the story of a family’s visit to the Kruger National Park. It includes the packing and preparation, travelling to the park and the family’s experience there. The illustrations and experiences will resonate with what families have loved about South Africa’s favourite National Park for many years. It captures family traditions and at the same time touches on conservation themes as part of a living storybook for your little ones. It is perfect to read to your kids or for early readers. The illustrations were done by the renowned Alex van Houwelingen. The book can be read before your trip to little kids as part of the excitement and to prepare them for the trip. The book is also available in Afrikaans.
