What to expect

Day 1: Johannesburg to Kruger National Park Safari
  1. Kruger National Park
    5h
    Your journey begins with an 08:00 pick-up from your accommodation in Johannesburg, Pretoria, or Sandton. A short flight from OR Tambo International Airport whisks you to Kruger Mpumalanga Airport, where your safari guide awaits.

    By midday, you’ll arrive at Skukuza Camp or Tembo Guest Lodge, the gateway to your Kruger adventure. After settling in, it’s time for your first thrilling game drive—an open-vehicle safari where you’ll track Africa’s Big Five in their natural habitat. As the sun dips below the horizon, return to the lodge and soak in the magic of the bush.
Day 2: Full Day Safari In the Wild
  1. Kruger National Park
    11h
    Step into the wild at dawn! At 05:00, set off on a guided bush walk, where expert rangers reveal the hidden wonders of Kruger. Follow fresh tracks, listen to the birds’ morning chorus, and witness nature awakening.

    After breakfast, embark on a full-day game drive—prime time for predator sightings. Lions and leopards wrap up their hunts, while elephants and zebras roam the savannah. Midday breaks at Skukuza Camp offer panoramic bush views before the adventure continues into the golden afternoon light.

    As dusk settles, return to your lodge, falling asleep to distant lion roars under a sky filled with stars.
Day 3: Full Day Safari Encountering the Wild
  1. Kruger National Park
    10h
    Wake to the sounds of Kruger and be among the first safari vehicles out at sunrise—ideal for spotting predators finishing their nocturnal hunts. Today, your safari takes you into a new corner of the park, shifting from wooded landscapes to open grasslands where cheetahs, giraffes, and antelope thrive.

    Mid-morning, enjoy a hearty breakfast at a scenic rest camp before continuing deeper into Kruger’s vast wilderness. From towering elephants dusting themselves in red earth to flashes of vibrant birdlife, every turn brings spectacular wildlife moments.

    The adventure winds down by late afternoon, giving you time to relax before a peaceful night in the heart of the bush.
Day 4: One Last Safari Before Farewell
  1. Kruger National Park
    5h
    At 05:30, set off on a final morning game drive, your last chance to spot elusive wildlife before departure. Watch as the bush awakens, predators prowl, and herds gather at waterholes for an early drink.

    After a light breakfast, return to Kruger Mpumalanga Airport for your flight back to Johannesburg, arriving by 13:00. A private driver will transfer you to your accommodation, wrapping up your unforgettable Kruger safari adventure.
