Day 1: Departure to Kruger National ParkIf you have booked the transfers you will be collected on the day of departure from a selected hotel at first light and transferred to the Kruger. The journey takes approximately 6 hours with stops along the way. Everyone will get together at a lovely bush pub on the edge of the reserves to meet your guide(s), sign the indemnity forms and have lunch. After lunch, we transfer you into open safari vehicles to one of our bush camps in the Greater Kruger National Park, making sure that you spend the maximum time out in the bush!

Day 2 – 4: Kruger National ParkIn the mornings we set off at first light after a snack breakfast of rusks and coffee or tea. Enjoying the cool morning air we may walk directly from the camp or else use a vehicle to get further out. Your ranger will decipher the tracks and signs left by the passing animals during the night. The thrill of walking, tracking and getting up close to one of the creatures of the bush is an unforgettable experience. On the walks there is a lot of emphasis on all the interesting things seen such as trees, plants, insects and birds. A big breakfast is prepared back in camp and then there is time to unwind and siesta during the heat of the day. After lunch is served it is time to head out again.

The afternoon activity is a walk/ drive combination, looking for tracks and animal movements in other areas. After the walk we drive to a beautiful spot in the Reserve, where we’ll have sundowners while waiting for a stunning African Sunset. As the diurnal animals and birds anxiously get ready for bed, the stage and sounds change and a whole new world awakens. This is when we connect the spotlight and night drive back to camp, looking for the nocturnal creatures that are so rarely seen during the day. Back in camp a hearty supper and a warm campfire will be waiting for you. After a long day in the bush there is nothing more rewarding then to sneak off to bed and listen to the sounds of the night under a blanket of the overwhelming African stars!

Day 5: Kruger National ParkToday you will still go out for one last walk where you will realise how much you’ve learned already! After breakfast it’s time to pack up and go back to the bush pub, where you will pay the Conservation Fee and the drinks you’ve consumed in our camps. Then we reluctantly say our goodbyes and transfer you back to the city. Self-drives can leave their car safely at the meeting point during the safari and be on their way again from here.
