Our thrilling budget 3-Day Kruger Camping Safari in South Africa commences with a morning departure from OR Tambo International Airport. We traverse the enchanting landscapes of Mpumalanga's Highveld and Lowveld, reaching our tented camp around 14:00.
After a quick refreshment stop, we dive into the excitement of an afternoon sunset game drive aboard an open safari vehicle in the Blue Canyon Conservancy and Moditlo Nature Reserve.
The private Moditlo Game Reserve forms part of the larger Blue Canyon Conservancy. This wilderness area promises exceptional wildlife encounters across diverse terrains, including bushveld plains and riverine zones. The Blue Canyon Conservancy and Modlito Private Game Reserve are home to the iconic Big 5 (lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, buffaloes) and other fascinating animals like cheetahs, hyenas, and giraffes.
We stop for sundowners in the bush as dusk descends before returning to our tented camp near Kruger. Gather around the boma fire for a memorable evening, star gazing and swapping tales of the day's adventures over a delectable dinner.
On day two of our Kruger Camping Safari spend a full day exploring the official Kruger National Park, South Africa's top safari destination.
Our program offers two options: an early departure for Kruger National Park with a bush breakfast on the way and an earlier return to camp, or a later start with breakfast at the camp and a later return to camp. Departure times will be communicated the night before and adjusted to maximise your chances of encountering wildlife. Our Kruger safari, led by expert and knowledgeable guides, will last approximately 7 to 8 hours focusing on the Orpen-Satara area famous for its frequent lion sightings. Following our safari in Kruger, we return to our tented camp near Kruger for leisure and another delightful starlit dinner by the fire.
Our 3-Day Kruger Camping Safari concludes this morning after breakfast at our tented camp near Kruger. Then it is time to bid farewell to each other and return to OR Tambo International Airport, arriving in Johannesburg around 17:00 or 18:00.
