Day 2
Safari in the Kruger National Park
Safari in the Kruger National Park
All safaris start before sunrise. Mpumalanga means the place of the rising sun and is the first province in South Africa
Africa to see the sun rise. This is the best part of the day, not knowing what to expect. After a short drive to the park, we enter the park gates. Your guide will have an idea of the best areas to find the wildlife, including the Big Five and plains game. This is the finest time of the day to see predators.
The lodge will arrange breakfast packs. Your guide will stop after about 3 hours for a breakfast and bathroom break, and a chance to get a coffee. You'll then continue with your safari. Kruger offers a variety of eco zones, and each one has a different range of wildlife. You'll visit rivers and watering holes as well as plains and Bushveld regions.
You'll then stop for lunch (own account), time for curio shopping, or enjoy a cold beer! The guide will continue with the safari heading towards the lodge. You'll arrive around 3:30 – 4:00 pm, swim, and have dinner.
