   You'll depart at dawn, the best game viewing happens early, when predators are still active and the air is cool. Your open safari vehicle moves quietly through Kruger's prime wildlife corridors: waterholes, riverbanks, open plains. No windows, no roof, just the bush in every direction.
   Your guide reads the landscape as you go, tracks, bird alarms, animal behaviour, steering you toward the best possible sightings. The Big Five are all here, alongside giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, hippo, crocodile, and more.
   A full day in the park gives you the time and space to find them properly.
