Day 1

Joannesburg to Kruger National Park

Joannesburg to Kruger National Park

We will collect you at the OR Tambo International Airports Bus Terminus (or within 5km) where you will board the safari vehicle. After a short introduction to the many facilities on board the vehicle such as the music system, flush toilet, heating system, honesty bar facilities and completion of the indemnity forms, we'll depart for the Kruger National Park. Once we drop off the Highveld Escarpment and into the more temperate almost tropical climate of the Lowveld, the scenery becomes spectacular. The excitement of entering one of the premier game parks on the planet is palpable. We'll offer a small prize to the first guest to spot an animal once we enter the park. Once in camp, you'll all pitch in setting up the tents. We will have an alfresco dinner around the fire or in our chosen rest camp. Each day, we'll keep a record of the wildlife spotted on the sighting board on the back wall of the safari truck.

Day 2-3

Kruger National Park

Kruger National Park

Early wake up call with coffee and rusks ready for you. You'll then have a breakfast of special muesli and fresh yoghurt on the game vehicle to save time and also, not everyone likes to eat so early in the morning. The morning game drive, around 140km (6 hours), gets us to camp at around 12:00 pm when we'll prepare lunch. The route is fantastic since it follows various rivers and passes many waterholes and pans where the game congregates to drink. Since we will only be going out at 3:00 pm for the afternoon drive, this gives us plenty of time to relax whether in the park shop, at the pool or have a siesta in our accommodation. The afternoon drive is from 3:00 pm until the late afternoon. We again have dinner, alfresco style in camp. If the weather permits, we will point out a few constellations in the night sky. If you want to do a night drive or bush walk you are in the perfect place.
