Rise at dawn to take advantage of the best game viewing conditions of the day, as you enjoy a thrilling shared open-top game viewing drive into the world famous Kruger National Park.
Explore the vast Kruger plains, which offer magnificent game viewing opportunities and the highest concentration of lion in the whole of Africa. Hope to see several of the Big Five today - Lion, Elephant, Buffalo, Leopard and Rhino - before returning to your lodge for a late breakfast.
The rest of the morning is free to relax and enjoy bird watching, before setting out again in the late afternoon for another shared game drive. With nearly 150 different species of mammals and over 100 species of reptiles in the Kruger National Park, you can hope to see cheetah, giraffe, hippo, kudu, crocodiles, sable antelope, waterbuck, warthogs, baboons, wild dogs and many other interesting animals. With over 500 different bird species including eagles, kingfishers, vultures and storks, outstanding bird watching is also guaranteed.
Return to your lodge and enjoy a beautiful African sunset and the pristine stars of the Milky Way as you have never seen them before – as well as the spectacular Southern Cross.
Note: You must have upper body strength for this safari, as you will need to transfer into the front seat of the game viewing vehicle. Please enquire about other options, if you require fully accessible game drives. Vehicles are not allowed to drive off-road in any national park in South Africa. Children < 6 are not allowed on open top game drives.
