Morning Safari and Transfer to Johannesburg
Morning Safari and Transfer to Johannesburg
We will depart for the Kruger before sunrise. Your guide will focus on animals we could not find on the first two safaris and hope for sightings of lions and leopards, as they are most active in the early mornings. The Kruger has 158 mammal species and over 550 bird species, and your guide will help you find as many as possible.
No safari is ever the same! Kruger has a massive network of roads to choose from, and guides will drive you to different park areas in different seasons, allowing you to see more sights. After a quick breakfast and coffee stop, we will continue with the safari, returning to the lodge at around 11:00am. Here, you will say goodbye to your guide and freshen up before returning to Johannesburg.
You will be collected by the shuttle at around 11:30am and arrive at Johannesburg OR Tambo International Airport between 5:00pm and 6:00pm.
