This budget-friendly Kruger Camping Safari begins upon arrival at OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg, where you’ll be fetched and transported to your tented camp, for your check-in at 14:00.
We take some leisure time to unwind and make the most of the amenities at our camp before embarking on a thrilling three-hour afternoon sunset game drive aboard an open safari vehicle in the Moditlo Nature Reserve. A part of the Greater Kruger Blue Canyon, Moditlo with its diverse terrain of bushveld plains and riverine areas, hosts the renowned Big 5 animals and offers excellent game-viewing opportunities to spot these lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffaloes, along with various other wildlife species like cheetahs, hyenas, and giraffes.
Following our sunset game-viewing experience in the splendour of Moditlo, we head back to camp at around 19:00 to enjoy a delightful boma fire dinner and spend a serene night beneath the dazzling night sky exchanging stories of the day’s adventures on our safari in South Africa.
The second day of our 4-Day Kruger Camping Safari is a full-day safari adventure in open 4x4 game vehicles.
Our full-day Kruger safari has two possible itinerary options: an early rise for Kruger National Park, with a bush breakfast en route and an earlier return, or a relaxed start with breakfast at the camp, setting off later and returning later. Departure times will be communicated the night before to maximise your chances of encountering wildlife. Our Kruger safari in South Africa will last approximately 7 to 8 hours, exploring the Orpen-Satara area, known for its excellent lion sightings. Our expert guide will navigate us through the vast expanse of this national park, utilizing their expertise to locate wildlife and birds. They'll enrich our experience with captivating knowledge and valuable insights about the Kruger bush and its inhabitants. Following our adventure, we'll return to our camp for a leisurely afternoon of relaxation and another delightful African dinner under the starry sky by the crackling fire.
We rise early this morning for either a full-day safari into Kruger National Park, or you can opt for a captivating full-day Panorama tour.
The Panorama Route is a picturesque roadway in South Africa linking various cultural and natural attractions. It is situated in Mpumalanga province and revolves around the awe-inspiring Blyde River Canyon, ranked as the world's third-largest and greenest canyon. Beginning at the Long Tom Pass base near Lydenburg, it descends naturally from the Great Escarpment to the Lowveld, concluding near the Echo Caves at the border of Mpumalanga and Limpopo provinces. This breathtaking route showcases numerous waterfalls, expansive forested areas, and iconic landmarks like Berlin Falls, God’s Window, The Pinnacle and 3 Rondawels.
Today can unfold in two ways: an early start for Kruger with a bush breakfast en route and an earlier return, or enjoying breakfast at the camp before departing and returning later. Departure times will be communicated the night before based on animal activity to enhance your chances of wildlife sightings. Our Kruger safari in South Africa will span 7 to 8 hours, ensuring ample time to return to camp for relaxation by the fire before enjoying dinner and socialising under the stars.
Our 4-day Kruger Camping Safari ends after breakfast this morning when we bid one another farewell and embark on our return drive to OR Tambo International Airport. We arrive in Johannesburg, around 17:00 or 18:00.
