Itinerary and highlights
Join your qualified nature guide for a full-day Kruger safari in a custom open safari vehicle. We’ll pick you up from Hoedspruit, Phalaborwa, or a designated meeting point, and head to the park gate (about 1 hour from Hoedspruit). Your guide will handle entry and day passes while you get ready for the wild.
Once inside, we’ll begin your game drive — tracking wildlife, reading the bush, and sharing insights into the ecosystem. After about 3 hours, we stop at a scenic camp or picnic site for a light breakfast (coffee, juice, rusks, croissants, etc.).
The mid-morning drive continues until lunch, when we pause at a Kruger rest camp. Here, guests can browse the shops or enjoy lunch (own account). After a relaxed break, we set off for a final afternoon drive, aiming to catch golden light and late sightings before exiting the park.
