An early start today as we enter the world famous Kruger National Park, driving in an open-top game viewing vehicle with a lodge ranger for a morning of game viewing in this vast 2-million hectare game sanctuary that is the size of Wales (with packed breakfast included).
The Kruger National Park offers magnificent game viewing opportunities and the highest concentration of lion in the whole of Africa. With nearly 150 different species of mammals and over 100 species of reptiles, you can hope to see cheetah, giraffe, hippo, kudu, crocodiles, sable antelope, waterbuck, warthogs, baboons, wild dogs and many other interesting animals as well as the Big Five - lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard and rhino. Outstanding bird watching is also guaranteed, with over 500 different species including eagles, kingfishers, vultures and storks.
Also enjoy a presentation by the Anti-Poaching Dog Unit today. Learn about the dogs that are trained to track rhino poachers in the field, and detect firearms, ammunition and wildlife products that enter and exit through the park gates.
Afterwards we return to our hotel, with afternoon at leisure. Alternatively you can enjoy another optional open-top game drive (pay locally and subject to availability). Dinner is included tonight.
Note: You will need your passport to enter the Kruger National Park.
