Hello Tim,
You've picked an excellent time of year to do Kruger. The weather will
be cooler, so you'll see more animals. Hopefully the grass will be
drier, and shorter too.
You will have very little difficulty in finding accomodation outside
the park without booking as schools are only on holiday after the 22nd
June. There are many hotels, lodges and B+B's around the park.
However, staying inside the park is always much nicer. You can book
online if there'es accom available.
You can take your own car through the park. That's what I would do.
I'd recommend that you hire a higher car (something like an SUV if
possible), prefereably with a sunroof.
The only safari that you will have to book inside the park is a night
drive. I'd really recommend staying inside the park and doing a night
drive at least once.
I find that its always better to drive yourself around the park. You
can stop where YOU want to, and if you're fascinated by something you
can sit and watch it for as long as you like without other tourists
getting bored. You can do the whole park in a saloon car, but an SUV
gives you better views because of the height.
Cheers,
Marc
