Captivating Kruger Safari - 4 Days

Meet your guide in Hazyview transfer by road to Satara Restcamp (or similar) in the central region of Kruger National Park. Once you enter the park your transfer will be through a wildlife rich area where there is a great opportunity to spot many different animal and bird species including the 'Big 5' - lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and rhino. On arrival at the camp, settle into your accommodation for the next 2 nights before relaxing around the camp fire with a delicious braai (BBQ) dinner and the thrill of the sounds of the African night.  You might even entice your guide to spin you a couple of exciting bush tales before you retire to bed.

Stay at:
You will stay at Satara Restcamp (or similar) in Kruger's central region for 2 nights and then Skukuza Restcamp (or similar) in the southern region of the park for 1 night.

One of the finest nature reserves in Africa, the Kruger is a vast wilderness of thorn trees, prolific game and sub-tropical heat. It is home not only to The Big Seven - elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino, cheetah and wild dog, but also to an abundance of smaller, equally fascinating animals and birdlife. The size of Wales or Israel this amazing wildlife paradise contains a vast array of habitats that attract different animals and birdlife in different seasons.

You will be woken early morning with tea or coffee and rusks to leave the camp on a dawn game drive as the day stirs around you.  Perhaps you will find some hunting lions or an elegant leopard slinking along in the hope of catching a slow moving impala for its breakfast!  As the day warms up, stop at one of the Parks’ rest camps or picnic sites to enjoy a bush brunch. Around midday, return to camp for a siesta or relax under the shady trees with a good book. Mid-afternoon sees everyone getting together to head out to the bush again as nature starts the late shift.  Return to camp as the gates close for another tasty bush dinner around the fire.

On day 3 your morning game drive will head south to Skukuza Restcamp (or similar) where you will stay for your final night in the park. In the afternoon your game drive will explore the riverine environment of both the Sabie and Sand Rivers which support high densities of predators such as lion and leopard.

Depart camp after tea and coffee for a final game drive in this famous national park before returning back to Hazyview (or Skukuza Airport) with breakfast en route.  Alternatively you may like to take a morning bush walk with one of the National Parks rangers (own account) before returning to camp for breakfast prepared by your ranger.  Appreciate the last few hours of wilderness before a sad farewell at around midday.
