Traverse the Kruger National Park with one of our expert safari guides.

Day 1: Phalaborwa and into Kruger (Kruger National Park, South Africa)
You will be met in Johannesburg by your Safari Guide at 08:00am.
There will also be collection & drop off points in Pretoria and Polokwane, while we can also arrange ground transfers from and to Nelspruit or Rustenburg at the beginning or the end of the Safari.
After brief introductions and a quick stop for last minute suppliers, we begin our scenic 5 hour drive to the world famous Kruger National Park. Game viewing opportunities should present themselves almost immediately in this vast 2-million hectare game sanctuary. Hopefully we will see several species of antelope, zebra, wildebeest and maybe even giraffe before we reach camp.
The Kruger Park offers a choice of several camps, each situated in a different section of the park with its own unique flora and fauna. We will be staying in either Letaba, Olifants, Mopani, Shingwedzi or Punda Maria. Accommodation is in simple but comfortable thatched game park bungalows.
Days 2, 3, & 4: Kruger National Park (South Africa)
Your days will be spent exploring the vast Kruger Plains, which offer magnificent game viewing opportunities. Renowned for its diversity and home to approximately 145 mammal and over 500 bird species, this amazing sanctuary is bound to provide you with some awesome game viewing. Your daily routine will include early morning and late afternoon game drives with your guide, the hotter mid-day periods will be spent relaxing at camp reading, bird watching, swimming or just taking a cat-nap in the shade of a tree.
There are also optional game viewing activities including morning and evening open vehicle game drives and 4 hour morning game walks. These activities come highly suggested, and we would be happy to book them in advance for you.
In the evening, enjoy the balmy weather and pristine stars of the Southern Sky and Milky Way, as you have never seen them before – including the spectacular Southern Cross.
Day 5: Kruger National Park (South Africa)
Our final day will begin with an early morning game drive to a secluded picnic site in order to enjoy our last African breakfast before making our way out the Park. We can choose to stay a bit longer in Kruger or take the scenic route back to Johannesburg via the Blyde River Canyon.
Your guide will then drop you off at your respective Hotel (Tour Ends approximately 18:00)
