I have the Kruger one, and it is grand! :-0

But I only read a bit at a time because I disagree with some things and get angry! lol

The Kruger Book is FULL OF Major Mistakes ..They obviously just printed without proof reading ..I approached them and asked them to fix their mistakes as I wanted ACCURATE Info in a book they asked me to pay R 500 for..They said they were aware of some of my proven allegations BUT I can either Live with it or return the book at the time for a refund ..Real bad Couldnt care less South African Poor Customer service ..Needless to say I Never bought the Kgalagadi version when it came out ..I hate Rip off scenarios of any persuasion. When a car manufacturer or say Canon or Nikon have a problem with a product ..they withdraw thousands at their expense and fix it ...not here its still for sale to the unsuspecting public...no skaam. Their book now gathers dust in a lonely bookcase in the house and I will probably eventually give it to the Old Age Home down the road...Its not worth R5 in my opinion

I just used the supplied Kgalagadi Map and 50 Years experience and will carry on using the normal Kruger Map Book is accurate at 10% of the price of this money making garbage

With the Kruger book, I seem to recall there were some mistakes with road numbering around P'kop.
Can't remember seeing any others.

But tbh, all these "where to see game in...... NP" are all a bit meh imo
Yes, the author finds x road brilliant. And y road a bit slow. Yadda yadda yadda.

But as we all know, you can have a slow drive on a so called "productive road".
And on the other hand a great drive on a "not so productive road".
