Full Day Open Vehicle Safari Kruger National Park

Mpumalanga, the “place of the rising sun,” is the first province in South Africa to welcome the day, and the best Kruger National Park safaris start before sunrise. These cool, early hours are perfect for spotting predators and other wildlife. After a short drive, you’ll enter the park, where your guide will lead you to prime areas for sightings of the Big 5 and plains game.

Breakfast packs are arranged by the lodge, and about three hours in, you’ll stop for a coffee and bathroom break before continuing through the Kruger’s fascinating landscapes, which include rivers, bushveld, and open plains, all teeming with life.

Later, you’ll enjoy lunch (own account) at a rest camp, with time to browse the curio shop or sip a cold beer before heading back to the lodge. You’ll return around 15:30–16:00, just in time to unwind, swim, and enjoy a well-earned dinner.

Morning Safari - Transfer to Johannesburg

On your final morning safari, we depart before sunrise once again, with your guide tracking down any animals still on your wish list, especially lions and leopards, most active in the early hours.

We’ll pause midmorning for a packed breakfast and coffee before continuing the drive, returning to the lodge around 11:00. After saying goodbye to your guide and freshening up, the shuttle collects you at 12:30 for the journey back to Johannesburg, arriving at OR Tambo or nearby lodges between 17:00 and 18:00.
