Full-Day Open Vehicle Safari in the Kruger National Park

All safaris start before sunrise, the best time to enter the park and spot wildlife, especially predators. After a short drive, you will enter Kruger National Park. Your guide will take you to areas known for excellent wildlife sightings.

The lodge will provide breakfast packs. After around three hours of game viewing, you stop for breakfast, a bathroom break and coffee before continuing your safari. You explore Kruger’s diverse eco-zones, visiting rivers, watering holes, plains and Bushveld areas, each offering unique wildlife experiences.

Lunch is enjoyed at a rest camp at your own expense, with time for curio shopping or a refreshing drink. We then continue our safari back towards the lodge, arriving around 3:30–4:00 pm, with time to relax, swim and enjoy dinner.

Full-Day Open Vehicle Safari in the Kruger National Park

You set off for the Kruger before sunrise. The guide will choose the best areas of the park to explore on this morning’s game drive. During this morning’s adventure, you will keep a lookout for wildlife, including the Big Five, and there’s a good chance of seeing predators, which are more active during the early morning.

The lodge will arrange breakfast packs. After about 3 hours of driving, your guide will stop for breakfast and a bathroom break. There is also a chance to get a coffee. We then continue with the safari.

You then stop for lunch at a rest camp, where this meal will be on your own account. While here, there will be time to do some curio shopping or to indulge in a cold beer!

Morning Safari and Transfer back to Johannesburg

This is the last safari of your trip. You depart from the lodge before sunrise. During the morning, we will have another packed breakfast at one of the rest camps or at a picnic site.

On this day, the guide will focus on finding animals we couldn’t find on the first 2 Kruger Park safaris. The Kruger National Park has 148 mammal species and over 500 bird species. We especially hope to see lions and leopards as they are most active in the early mornings.

After a short breakfast and coffee stop, you will continue with the safari. You will return to the lodge at around 12:00 pm.

Here, you say goodbye to your guide and freshen up before you make the journey back to Johannesburg. You will be collected by the shuttle between 12:00 and 12:30 pm. You will return to Johannesburg’s OR Tambo Airport shuttle terminal and lodges within a 5 km radius, arriving between 5:00 and 6:00 pm.
