Free African Safari Competition

Enter the ASJ Free Competition for an African Safari -- the prize is an unforgettable African walking safari for two people, in the world famous Kruger National Park, in South Africa.

If you've been on an adventure vacation or nature tour in the past, you qualify to enter your travel experiences report, to win a free wilderness safari vacation in Africa!


What to Expect:
Holiday Competition Safari Prize Itinerary


Spend three nights in an exclusive wilderness camp in the heart of the Kruger National Park in South Africa.

Transfer from Johannesburg International Airport in South Africa to Skukuza in the Kruger National Park.

Only 8 people are allowed on the trail, so you are assured of lot of personal attention. An experienced ranger, and a tracker (both exceptionally well versed in the ways of the wild), accompanies your group.

Meet your ranger and tracker and then drive by land rover to the wilderness camp.

All meals (many of them spent around a roaring camp fire) are included. Accommodation is in rustic two bed wooden huts. A covered lapa serves as a dining/socialising area where the campfire's flickering shadows encourage stories of adventures in the African bush.

Each day commences with coffee and rusks in the crisp morning hours. Then it's off in the land rover to an area in the bush chosen by the ranger to start walking (The previous evenings lion roars often determine the spot chosen).

A light meal is enjoyed in the bush and brunch awaits you when you return to camp at noon. You are then free to do as you choose until a short walk just before dusk -- catch up on some sleep, after your early morning start.

Evenings are spent around the campfire listening to the sounds of the bush and questioning the ranger about his previous wildlife experiences.

Drive back to Skukuza on the afternoon of the last day of the holiday competition safari. Transfer back to Johannesburg.

Previous Experiences of the Safari

I've been on the walking safari in the Kruger Park that is the prize for this year's ASJ holiday competition.

Three times in fact. I couldn't get enough the first time.

Must have had something to do with the fact that we saw lions on the second day of the walk. Seeing lions close up while on foot is an awe inspiring experience.

They charged us because they had cubs to protect. It was a mock-charge (they just want to show who's boss) so there was no danger, and both ranger and tracker had their rifles sighted just in case.

But 300 pounds of snarling, spitting feline power really gets the adrenaline pumping so I couldn't resist going on the walking safari again about a year later.

This time the highlights were two young male lions but they ran from us (who is the boss now?) and a black rhino which is incredibly rare in Africa. I have been on many safaris for over 15 years and this is the one and only time that I have ever seen a black rhino. And on foot even...

More recently I went on a third walking safari and was incredibly lucky to see lions on foot once more. They stood at a distance looking at us and trying to figure out what we were. When the wind turned and they caught a whiff of us, they ran off.

What I am trying to get across here is that this walking safari in the Kruger National Park is something very special. I have never forgotten it.
