The Safari will be conducted in an open sided game viewing vehicle under the guidance of a quilified Guide. You will stay inside the Kruger National Park in one of the Park rest camps for the duration of your stay. The accommodation will be in the form of one of the en-suite air conditioned bungalows.

A great short getaway to the Kruger.

Day 1:

Departing from Johannesburg at 09h00 a.m. we drive along a scenic route to the entrance of the Kruger National Park. Here we transfer to a specially designed open safari vehicle. Game viewing begins as soon as we enter the gates, and we look for giraffe, zebra and various antelope species on our way to the camp, where we arrive by sunset.

After dinner in the camp restaurant, your guide may set up a powerful telescope and take you on a fascinating guided tour of the night sky (weather permitting). This astronomy talk is included free of charge on most of our safaris (subject to guide availability). Fall asleep to the sound of hippos snorting or lions roaring in the distance.

Day 2:

We rise before the sun and embark on a morning game drive in the Kruger National Park in search of the big 5 - lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and rhino. These are known to be the 5 most dangerous animals to hunt, but we get to view them up close from the safety of an open safari vehicle.

While looking for wildlife we visit waterholes, lookout points and beautiful picnic spots, stopping at regular intervals so you can stretch your legs and enjoy some refreshments. After breakfast at a picnic site in the bush, we return to the camp around lunchtime, where you can spend the hot midday hours relaxing at the pool, browsing through the curio shop or watching animals from the deck. In the afternoon we head out on another game drive and return to the camp at sunset for dinner.

As an optional extra, you can embark on a sunset/night drive on an open safari vehicle equipped with spotlights, conducted by one of the Kruger Park's rangers. Dinner will be enjoyed in the camp restaurant, or may take the form of a traditional South African 'braai' (barbecue), weather permitting.

Day 3:

This morning we pack up early and head out on a final early morning game drive in search of game that may have eluded us thus far. Breakfast is served at a picnic site along the way, and we exit the Kruger Park around noon to begin our journey back to Johannesburg. Transfers to and from Johannesburg are normally conducted in a luxury air-conditioned microbus. We arrive back in Johannesburg by about 17h00 p.m.
