Southern Kruger National Park
Southern Kruger National Park
Departing from Johannesburg at 08h30, our journey leads us to the southern outskirts of the Kruger National Park. On route we will be stopping for a lunch stop in Schoemanskloof (own expense), one of seven spectacular destinations along the Highlands Meander of Mpumalanga. After our lunch stop we continue our journey until we arrive at our destination situated on the banks of the Crocodile River.
We check in and slowly prepare for our first afternoon open safari vehicle game drive inside a nearby Big5 Private Game Reserve which is part of the Kruger National Park.
We spend the night just outside the park at a lodge overlooking the Crocodile River and the southern section of the Kruger, allowing us the opportunity to easily access the park tomorrow to see animals and already start experiencing the beauty and wildlife of this country.

Day 2
Southern Kruger National Park
Southern Kruger National Park
Today we get up early as we want to enter the southern section of the Kruger National Park as soon as possible for our full day of game viewing.
The southern section of the park offers the opportunity to see different species of animals like rhinos, wild dogs, herds of buffalo, and elephants, as well as predators like lions and hyenas. In addition, the south usually has a bit more water, which naturally attracts more animals.
The day is dedicated to driving around in search of animals; however, we will regularly stop at some of the parks’ rest camps to stretch our legs and for comfort breaks. We will also stop at some of the waterholes en route. Lunch today will be in the park (own expense).
Later in the afternoon, we head to our accommodation inside the park for our overnight stay.
One of the nights inside the Kruger you have the opportunity to partake in a sunset/night drive with the Park's Rangers.

We have the entire day to explore the Kruger National Park and see what Mother Nature throws at us.
