Kruger National Park Game Drive

After breakfast, we check out of our accommodation and drive to Kruger National Park through Orpen Gate. We start our safari immediately after entering the park. Our destination is Satara Rest Camp in the central part of Kruger. Our main safari adventure - camping for the next two nights - occurs here. Everything is possible since we are within the animals' home, and the nights are frequented by lovely sounds from wild animals. Some animals can be seen near your campsite, a stone's throw away.

We arrive in Satara around lunchtime. This is the time when your guide will erect your tent. Your guide has already arranged a sunset game drive in an open safari vehicle, which starts at 16h30 and lasts three hours. After the game drive, you will enjoy dinner prepared by your guide before we call it a night.

Kruger National Park Bushwalk & Private Game Drive

This morning, we can have a sunrise game drive in an open safari vehicle or a bushwalk. Both last three hours and finish around breakfast time. The bushwalk is conducted by experienced armed rangers. It is a very educational experience about plants and wildlife. After the activity and breakfast, we check out of Satara Rest Camp and head for Kruger South.

We say goodbye with unforgettable memories of the Kruger as we exit either at Kruger Gate or Malelane Gate. We hope this memorable safari experience will always be remembered by our guests. We check in at Rio Vista Lodge or a similar location (dinner included).
