Perfect for adventurous travellers seeking a more immersive safari, you'll track wildlife with experienced armed guides, enjoy open-vehicle game drives and discover the sights, sounds and scents of the wilderness from ground level.
This affordable South Africa safari takes place in the exclusive Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, part of Greater Kruger. Sharing unfenced boundaries with Kruger National Park, Klaserie offers outstanding Big Five wildlife viewing with fewer vehicles and a more intimate safari experience.
Stay at an unfenced safari lodge surrounded by the African bush, where evenings are spent around the campfire beneath the stars after unforgettable days exploring one of South Africa's premier wildlife destinations.
Your 5-Day Greater Kruger Walking Safari begins with a shuttle transfer from Johannesburg or Pretoria to the Greater Kruger region. Upon arrival, transfer to your safari lodge in Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, one of the private reserves that form part of the Greater Kruger.
This afternoon, set off on your first game drive in the Big Five wilderness of Klaserie. Explore the reserve in an open 4x4 safari vehicle, searching for wildlife and taking in the sights and sounds of the African bush.
After dinner at the lodge, head back into the reserve on a night game drive for the chance to spot nocturnal wildlife and experience the bush after dark.
Spend the next three days exploring the Greater Kruger wilderness on foot and by vehicle. Guided morning bush walks take place in the Big Five Klaserie Private Nature Reserve, part of the Greater Kruger ecosystem.
Walks typically last two to four hours, depending on wildlife activity and group fitness levels. Before setting off, your experienced field guides provide a safety briefing and introduction to walking in Big Five wilderness areas.
Along the way, you'll learn about animal tracks, birds, plants and the ecology of the bush, gaining insight into the smaller details often missed on game drives. Walking safaris offer a different perspective on the wilderness, bringing you closer to the sights, sounds and rhythms of the natural environment.
After time to relax at the safari lodge, head out on afternoon game drives in Greater Kruger. Sundowners in the bush are followed by night drives, offering the chance to spot nocturnal wildlife such as leopard, hyena, aardvark, bush babies and owls.
Evenings are spent around the campfire, sharing stories from the day's adventures before another exciting day in the bush.
Enjoy one final guided bush walk in Klaserie Private Nature Reserve before returning to the lodge for brunch.
Later, transfer back to the shuttle collection point and travel to Pretoria and Johannesburg, where your 5-Day Greater Kruger walking safari ends.
Pick-up and drop-off are at O.R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg and a designated point in Pretoria. For more details and times, please enquire. Transport to and from these set locations is not included in the tour price.
