[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 928905, member: 40658"] Well you certainly picked the camps with the best views. between Skukuza and Lower Sabie you should see a lot of wildlife next to the Sabie riverbed. and then between Lower-Sabie and Olifants is the best route to take to see Lions, Leopards and Cheetahs. Olifants probably is the camp with the best view of all the camps in the Kruger, as it's built on a hill and overlooks the mighty Olifants River. May I suggest you visit Letaba as well, which has a Museum about Elephants, which is very interesting and educational for kids and adults alike. It's just 30km away from Olifants. As for the rest of your itenerary, I understand now a bit better of your plan with this trip, But I think Mozambique will offer you a better deal with regard to snorkeling in riffs with underwater life. But then again, there are so many places in SA that you can visit, that we might not even think of right now. I'll be honest, I don't like St. Lucia, mainly because of a personal bad experience there. Which will most probably add to my negativity. But my Uncle is one of the best people to ask about St. Lucia and the wetlands, and he's a professor who does regular studies in the Kruger and the Wetlands regarding frogs and other amphibias. In fact he's in the Kruger right now, to do a study regarding the changes in Bullfrogs habitats after floods. He always tells us it's such a strain for him to drive to St. Lucia, as the road to get there is just so bad (this coming from a guy who drives a 4X4 with every piece of equipment you can think of on his car). If wildlife is your main priority, and you want to make it educational for your son, I want to suggest you stick around the Kruger area, there are places like Kapama and Moholoholo rehabilitation centres, where they let adults and kids interact with wild animals, help with feeding the animals and even play with baby lions and both of them are around the Hoedspruit area.
