On your final day in the Kruger, we will again rise together with the bush and depart on your final private safari.

With private catering, your chef will prepare a breakfast pack for you to take on safari, maximising your last morning out in the African bush. Alternatively, you will have breakfast at the camp restaurant.

You will then travel to Kapama Private Game Reserve, where you will check into your deluxe suite. Here you will escape to a place away from time, and indulge in one of the finest safari lodges near the Kruger National Park.

After lunch at the lodge, your first safari begins in a private game reserve.
