About this experience
When you book a Private Morning Safari it’s exactly that - Private with only you, your family and/or friends on the vehicle! This is the ideal way for families with young children to enjoy a safari in the Kruger Park!
The early morning gives you a good start for your game viewing as the bush comes alive and animals become active. They start grazing and move to the water holes before the heat of the day drives them to shelter in the shade of the bush and trees. This safari is approx 6 hours, including transfer and gate time as well as an approx 1-hour breakfast stop at one of the camps.
Collection times for morning safaris are between 5:00 – 5:30 am (season dependent) and you will return at about 11:00 am after the safari.
This private safari is suitable for families with children under 6yrs.
