Summary: Answer the call of the Kruger, the vast, famous southern game park teeming with Africa's most iconic creatures. This four-day safari puts you right in the thick of the park's grasslands and forests, filled with birdlife and big game. Keep an eye out for grazing elephants, giraffes and wildebeest from your safari vehicle, and try to spot prowling lions and leopards at night. This is a short adventure, but an action-packed and memorable one.

Itinerary


bu-saf-vehDay 1 Johannesburg/Kruger National Park
Early morning on Day 1 (around 5am) we depart Johannesburg, the 'City of Gold' and head off on an adventure of a lifetime. A truly unique African experience unfolds as we enter the Greater Kruger National Park ecosystem arriving at our Campsite in time for dinner (570 km, approx 7-8 hours travel time including stops along the way).
One of the largest game reserves in Southern Africa, Kruger National Park is home to over 500 bird species, 100 species of reptile and 150 mammal species, including the Big Five and the endangered African wild dog.
Our wildlife experience begins as soon as we enter the park. We head straight into prime game viewing areas where we hope to catch a glimpse of some of the amazing animals found here.
Our campground within the park has shared facilities and hot and cold water.

Day 2 Kruger National Park
Rise early and have a light breakfast of coffee and rusks before embarking on a morning gaknp-glossy-starlingme drive. Most of the day will be spent game viewing, bird watching and stopping at various waterholes and viewpoints.
Returning to our camp in the park, there's time to freshen up before heading out on an open vehicle night drive, an amazing experience and a chance to witness the nocturnal activities of the many animals within the park.

Day 3 Greatethornybush-cheetahr Kruger National Park
We have another early start to try and see more of Africa's iconic wildlife. We exit the National park in the late afternoon and make our way to a private game reserve (50 km, approx 1 hour).
Located in the greater Kruger, our accommodation is wonderfully intimate, with just 14 twin-share rooms. Rooms are constructed from local materials and are tastefully decorated and comfortably appointed. The lodge also offers a cosy bar, perfect for chatting with the other guests over a drink or two. There is also a crystal-clear swimming pool for a refreshing post-safari swim. However we think the quality which makes our lodge stand out from the rest is the friendliness and helpfulness of our team. They are committed to making your stay memorable!
Please note if our lodge is full you will be accommodated in a similar lodge in the same area and the accommodation may be in a tented lodge.
