Day 1

Pick-up and Journey to Kruger National Park

Pick-up and Journey to Kruger National Park

We will collect you at the OR Tambo International Airport's bus terminus where you will board the safari vehicle. You will receive a short introduction to the many facilities onboard the vehicle such as the music system, flush toilet, heating system and the honesty bar facilities. After completion of the indemnity forms, we depart for the Kruger National Park. Once we pass 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 and we offer a small prize to the first guest to spot an animal once we enter the park. Depending on your accommodation preference, we will either set up camp or book into our accommodation. We will have an alfresco dinner around the fire or in our chosen accommodation. Each day we keep a record of the wildlife spotted and by whom on the sighting board on the back wall of the safari truck.

Day 2-3

Kruger Park

Kruger Park

After your wake-up call at 05h30 with coffee & rusks ready for you, we proceed on an early game drive. We have our breakfast of special muesli & fresh yogurt on the game vehicle to save time. The morning drive of around 140 km (6 hours) gets us to camp at around 12h00 where we prepare lunch. The route is fantastic since it follows various rivers and passes many waterholes & pans where the game congregates to drink. Since we will only be going out at 15h00 for the afternoon drive, this gives us plenty of time to relax either in the park shop, at the pool or for a siesta in our accommodation. The afternoon drive is from 15h00 until the late afternoon. We have an alfresco dinner in the camp. Weather permitting, we will point out a few constellations in the night sky. If you want to do a night drive or a bushwalk, you are in the perfect place.
