Safari begins into Kruger National Park

Enjoy two full days of immersive safari experiences in Kruger National Park, with early morning departures in open safari vehicles to take advantage of prime wildlife viewing hours. Your guide will lead slow, interpretive game drives through different areas of the park on each day, focusing on spotting the Big Five as well as giraffe, zebra, hippo, crocodile, and a rich variety of antelope and birdlife, while interpreting tracks, animal behavior, and the park’s ecology along the way. Around midday on both days, you’ll stop for a relaxed lunch and enjoy scenic viewpoints. Afternoon drives continue through diverse habitats and around waterholes in search of species you may have missed, including cheetah, hyena, or rarer antelope. You’ll exit the park before gate closing each day and return to the lodge for evenings at leisure.
