Arrival and afternoon game drive

We’ll collect you from Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (KMIA), Skukuza Airport, or your accommodation in Nelspruit, White River, Malelane, Hazyview, or Komatipoort. Once we enter the park, your safari begins.

Your first afternoon game drive takes you deep into the bush in an open safari vehicle. Expect great sightings in the golden hours before sunset. Afterward, settle into your rest camp inside the park and enjoy a warm dinner surrounded by the sounds of the wild.

Sunrise Safari, Flexible Midday & Night Drive

Wake up early for a sunrise game drive — one of the best times to see predators and other animals on the move.

You can then choose between:
– A full-day safari, exploring more of Kruger with meals at rest camps and picnic spots, or
– Returning to camp for a midday break, with time to relax before heading out again for an afternoon drive.

After dinner, you’ll head out on a SANParks-operated Night Drive, guided by professional rangers in a park vehicle. It’s your chance to see the lesser-known nocturnal side of Kruger – hyenas, civets, genets, owls, and even hunting predators under cover of darkness.
