Kruger National Park Safari

Your safari to the Kruger National Park starts before sunrise in one of our open safari vehicles, allowing you to view animals from a higher vantage point and a perfect panoramic view. Your guide will use his expert knowledge to help you search for and find the iconic animals in the park whilst interpreting the natural environment during the drive.

You will have a brief stop for breakfast at around 8:30 am to enjoy the individually packed breakfast packs that your guesthouse will have provided you with, which you will be able to enjoy at a rest camp or a picnic spot along the planned route for that day. There will also be a lunch stop should you wish to purchase a lunch snack from the restaurants inside the Kruger National Park or stretch your legs.

You will return to your guesthouse at around 3:30 pm in time for a refreshing drink or a dip in the pool at your own leisure.
