Kruger National Park Safari

You will get up at dawn to make the most of our Kruger safari. You'll spend the morning in search of all the iconic animal species, including the Big Five. Your dedicated private nature guide will frequent dams, waterholes, and riverbeds where animals are most frequently seen to maximize animal viewing opportunities. He will also show you different landscapes and tell you about the importance of vegetation and soil for the different animal species that live there.

Later in the morning, you'll stop at one of the picnic spots or at the rest camp, where you can enjoy the breakfast prepared for you by the lodge. For lunch, you'll stop at one of the rest camps (at your own cost). You'll continue your safari for the afternoon and return to the lodge where a delicious dinner will be waiting for you.

All game drives are conducted on an open safari vehicle that gives you a perfect vantage point for viewing and photographing animals from their best angle, high over the bushes and grasses.
