As the day comes to a close, return to comfortable lodges where you can relax and share stories around a fire. Your experience at Kruger promises a deep connection with Africa's wilderness.

Watch the interactions of predators and prey, as cheetahs and hyenas showcase their roles in the ecosystem. Enjoy observing various bird species, from majestic eagles to colorful kingfishers, while antelopes graze on the savannah. In the evenings, unwind in your lodge and reflect on the day’s adventures, surrounded by the natural beauty of the park. Every moment spent in Kruger highlights the rich tapestry of African wildlife and landscapes.

BEST TIME TO VISIT
The ideal time to visit Kruger National Park varies depending on what you want to experience:

Dry Season (May to September): This is the peak season for wildlife viewing. Water sources dwindle, making animals easier to spot. Morning and evening game drives are particularly fruitful.
Wet Season (October to April): While it can be more challenging to spot wildlife due to dense vegetation, the park comes alive with blooming flora and migratory birds, creating a beautiful landscape.

GAME DRIVE

Most wild animals are active at dawn and dusk, so to see them we’ll have to be too. Expect early starts to your days (seasonal dependent, from 4:30 to 6am) softened by a hearty breakfast pleasantly prepared by your guide.

We’ll spend about 4-hours searching for wildlife, followed by 1 hour lunch break at a rest camp (restaurants on-site) before we end the day with another 4-hour excursions through Kruger. When we see something, we always positions the vehicle with camera angles in mind and also cut the engine to more fully enjoy the animals in as natural a setting as possible.

Remember, our guides are there at every step, ensuring your trip in an exciting, comfortable, and once-in-a-lifetime experience worthy of reminiscing.

ACCOMMODATIONS

To get the most out of your Kruger safari tour, each evening you’ll experience a new rest camp as we traverse the Park’s southerly reaches, going as far north as the Shingwedzi River. This affords our clients the opportunity to witness a larger breadth of the park’s vast landscapes and game.

After a full day of driving filled with excitement, you’ll need a quality place to unwind and rest and we offer splendid accommodation options scattered throughout the Park. Each establishment is a highly provisioned luxurious experience, nestled into the natural surroundings and positioned for optimum wildlife sightings. Your party will stay in high-end bungalow or family chalets, depending on group’s size, and enjoy lunch and evening meals at the camp’s well stocked dining facilities.

We’ll spend our time focused in the South of the Park, where most animals congregate, so our camp options could include any of the following sites: Berg en Dal, Pretoriuskop, Skukuza, Lower Sabie, Satara.

Occasionally, due to client flights and strictly enforced park access times, our first evening will be spent at a game lodge just outside the entrance, however, where feasible we’ll spend all three evenings getting lost, figuratively not literally, in Africa’s wild beauty.

SAFARI VEHICLE

You’ll be logging in fair amount of road time, so having a comfortable and reliable 4x4 vehicle is crucial to a safe and enjoyable journey. Our specifically designed and remodeled safari vehicle is always professionally maintained, undergoing rigorous pre and post-trip inspection, giving us confidence, each journey will be a safe and pleasurable ride.

With access to a fleet of game-viewing vehicle, we never have issues accommodating our group’s various overland needs as well as providing unique, with windows particularly designed for, photographing opportunities during your safari or on the transfers within.
