Kruger National Park

We awaken in Kruger to the sounds of the animals starting their day. Head out on a game drive early in time to catch some (or hopefully all) of the 140 mammals that live here as they stretch and prepare for the new day. After some serious game spotting, we will break for a well-deserved and hearty brunch at one of Kruger's beautiful picnic spots. With our delicious brunch completed, we will make our way to the world renowned Lower Sabie Camp. This camp is rumored to be the top campsite in the park! Once the sun has set and the dusty land has settled for the night, you will experience a truly South African braai under the incredibly beautiful African skies. The stars will shine all around you, creating the most stunning ambience.
