Full Day Kruger National Park Safari

Your safari to the Kruger will start before sunrise in our open safari vehicle. This gives you the opportunity to view animals from a higher vantage point and a perfect panoramic view. Your guide will use his expert knowledge to help you search for iconic animals in the park, as well as interpret the natural environment. You will stop at various lookout points, waterholes and rivers during your safari to increase your chances of seeing the unexpected, breathtaking scenery.

We will provide breakfast packs which you will be able to enjoy at a rest camp or a picnic spot along the route for that day. There will be a lunch stop should you wish to purchase a lunch snack or simply stretch your legs. We return to the guesthouse or accommodation venue at around 15h30. You have time to freshen up, relax, and reminisce over the day's sightings while you enjoy a sundowner drink at the pool or lounge areas. A dinner transfer will be arranged at a convenient time for you.
