Day 2

Kruger National Park

Kruger National Park

Early morning An early start means an equally early wake-up call. Tea and coffee are served at about 6am and at sunrise you head off on your early-morning game-drive. This is generally the best time to spot the wildlife, as the temperature is cool, and the animals are still very active, including the big cats, which will be returning from a night of hunting. After a few hours, you will either return to your camp for a hearty breakfast. You usually have lunch in the camp and spend the main part of the day either relaxing or using the amenities, including the gym, outdoor pool and spa. You might have something to eat and drink at around 3pm before heading out for another safari drive. The evening game drive is often the best time to see the wildlife. The predatory animals begin to stir from their heat-of-the-day slumber, and similarly, their prey become ever more active and alert as darkness falls.
