This exhilarating 3-Day Kruger Camping Safari in South Africa begins with a morning departure from OR Tambo International Airport. Leaving Johannesburg, we drive through the captivating landscapes of Mpumalanga's Highveld and Lowveld, arriving at our tented camp by approximately 14:00.
Following a refreshment break, we embark on a thrilling afternoon sunset game drive in an open safari vehicle in Moditlo Nature Reserve. With its diverse terrain, including bushveld plains and riverine areas, Moditlo offers excellent opportunities to see the renowned Big 5 animals, so keep an eye out for lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffaloes, along with various other wildlife species like cheetahs, hyenas, and giraffes.
As twilight sets in, we savour sundowners in the heart of the wilderness before returning to our safari camp near Greater Kruger. We gather around the boma fire for an enjoyable evening, exchanging stories of the day's adventures in South Africa over a delightful dinner.
Today is dedicated to a full-day Kruger safari in open 4x4 safari vehicles.
The second day of our affordable Kruger Camping Safari may unfold in one of two ways: either an early start for Kruger National Park, enjoying a bush breakfast en route and returning after a while, or beginning with breakfast at our camp departing and returning later. Departure times will be communicated the night before, tailored to animal activity to optimise our chances for game viewing.
Our full-day Kruger safari in South Africa will span about 7 to 8 hours, exploring the Orpen-Satara area, renowned for prime lion sightings.

The Moditlo Wildlife Estate and Private Game Reserve spans 3,200 hectares within the Blue Canyon Conservancy, totalling 12,000 hectares. Positioned 12 kilometres from Hoedspruit in the Limpopo Province of South Africa, it lies in the Valley of the Olifants, just 30 kilometres from Kruger National Park. While it is situated amidst the Greater Kruger biosphere, it shares borders with Kapama Game Reserve to the east and the Drakensberg Mountains to the west but does not form part of the Greater Kruger National Park.
Modlito Private Game Reserve hosts the iconic Big 5 of Africa: lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos and buffaloes. It is also home to other wildlife species like cheetahs, giraffes, and hyenas. With its diverse terrain of bushveld plains and riverine areas, comprising three farms: Moria, Hoedspruit, and Riversdale, Moditlo features two distinct eco-zones: Thornyveld in the north and Bushwillow woodlands in the south, it also boasts scenic riverside habitats adorned with iconic trees like Weeping Boerboon and Sycamore Fig.
