About this experience
Kruger National Park - the very name arouses evocative images of crisp, clear winter mornings with an orange sun rising from the horizon, the early morning call of lions in the distance and the whickering alarm call of the zebra; the sweet scent of Mother Africa's greatest piece of paradise, stirred for another day of adventure; and after a day in the bush, settling down and feeling the primeval prickle of hair on the back of the neck as the hyena whoops in the dead of night.
We invite you to experience the Kruger Park with us and our experienced expert guides. See one of the worlds great wildernesses from the safety of our specialised, open game viewing vehicles, wallow in our comfortable safari-style tents and delight in the textures of the bush and the tastes of our delicious and imaginative camp fire cooking.
