About this experience
Experience the diversity that the renowned Kruger National Park has to offer from the comfort of our open safari vehicles. After an early pick up you will enter the Park followed by an exciting day of finding the most iconic animal and bird species. Your guide will stop and prepare a delicious brunch at a designated picnic spot within the park often frequented by elephants. As the temperatures rise throughout the day we plan to stop for a late lunch at one of the rest camps, where guests can freshen up and use the facilities while animals seek shade.
Drive back out towards the exit while stopping at waterholes full of animal activity and enjoy a beautiful African sunset on the way!
