Kruger Under Canvas - 5 Days (Guided Camping Safari)

Meet your guide in Hazyview and transfer to one of Kruger National Park’s approved camp sites. After settling into your home for the next 4 or 5 days, relax around the camp fire with a delicious braai (BBQ) dinner and thrill to sounds of the African night. You might even entice your rugged ranger to spin you a couple of exciting bush tales before you retire to your tent, with its comfortable sprung mattress, for a well-deserved sleep.

Stay at:
You will stay at one of Kruger's many Restcamps for example Maroela (near Satara) or Balule (near Olifants), both in Central Kruger

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 for tea and coffee before heading 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.

Depart camp after tea and coffee for the journey back to Hazyview 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.
