Kruger National Park

An early wake-up call and after a cup of coffee and a rusk leave with your rangers on the morning walk. The average duration of the morning walk is between 3 and 4 hours. During the morning walk, there is a stop for a rest and a light snack. On each walking safari our guides will share their wealth of “bush culture’’ —not only identifying flora and fauna but also explaining the medicinal uses of plants, local folklore, and interpreting wildlife tracks in the sand. A hearty brunch is served after getting back from the morning walk. Choose to take the opportunity to cool off in the plunge pool or simply relax on the deck while doing some more game-watching over the Timbetene Plain. High tea is followed by an afternoon walk. The length of the evening walk depends on the time of the year, but usually lasts not more than an hour and is typically combined with a short game drive. Once back at the lodge, you'll meet for drinks around the fire, followed by dinner to complete the day.
