Departure
Upon arrival, you will be welcomed by your guide and then transferred to Kruger National Park. The drive from Johannesburg to the park offers a glimpse of South Africa's stunning landscapes, including picturesque mountains and vast savannas. The first day is typically reserved for settling into accommodations and acclimatizing to the environment. Whether staying in a luxury lodge or a rustic campsite, the park offers a range of options to suit different preferences.
Today is dedicated to a full-day safari in Kruger national park, providing ample opportunity to witness the park's incredible biodiversity. Early morning and late afternoon are prime times for wildlife sightings, as animals are most active during these cooler periods. While in Kruger you will expect to encounter herds of elephants meandering through the bush, prides of lions basking in the sun, and perhaps even a stealthy leopard perched in a tree. If you are a birder you will also delight in the park's avian diversity, with over 500 species recorded. Throughout the day, guides share insights into animal behavior and the park's conservation efforts. You will have a panic lunch in the park before going for an evening game drive. Following the evening game drive you will depart to your lodge for diner and overnight stay.
On the final day, you will have an optional morning safari drive that will allow for one last chance to capture memorable wildlife moments. This early excursion is ideal for those eager to see animals like cheetahs or hyenas, which are more elusive during the day.
After the morning drive, you will return to your accommodation for breakfast before beginning the journey back to Johannesburg to catch your flight back to your home country.
