Day 2
Kruger National Park
Kruger National Park
Today we get up early as we want to enter the Central Section of the Kruger National Park as soon as we can, for our full day of game viewing. The Southern section of the park offers the opportunity to see some different species of animals like Rhino, Wild Dogs, Herds of Buffalo and Elephant as well as other predators like Lion and Hyenas because the South usually has a bit more water, naturally attracting more animals.
Our day is dedicated for driving around in search of these animals; however we will stop regularly at some of the parks’ rest camps for some leg stretches and comfort breaks as well as some waterholes on route.
Late in the afternoon, we exit the park and head back to our accommodation for the night.
