From the itinerary
At a glance
Day by day
You will be picked up from Johannesburg International Airport by your tour guide and transferred to Kruger National Park.
Check into your accommodation inside the actual Kruger Park at Crocodile Bridge (or similar), then embark on your first short game drive to get your first feel of the African bush. The length of the drive will depend on what time you manage to leave the airport.
Wake before sunrise to get a head start on things; this is the best time to view the game, as the nocturnal animals are still active and the other animals use the cool of the morning to move to the watering holes.
Move along before stopping for breakfast, which is prepared outdoors at a picnic site with magnificent views of the surrounding bushveld.
Relax by the pool during the heat of the day or under the garden trees as you identify the birds found here.
Set off in an open safari vehicle just before sunset with the Kruger Rangers to enjoy a 3-hour night drive with spotlights.
Return to camp for a wonderful dinner, again prepared by your guide in true South African style on open coals, and enjoy eating your meal under the African stars.
Start this day much like the day before with an early rise to catch the worm (or lion) and a four-hour game drive. You'll drive to another section of the park for some variety and have a bush breakfast at a picnic spot along the way. After letting that all settle, carry on at a leisurely pace and find a cool spot to relax and take in the sights.
Set off on your afternoon game drive; again, your guide will find a great spot to have a couple of sundowners and afternoon snacks of cheese, biscuits, and traditional South African biltong as you gaze over the vast savannah.
Return to Crocodile Bridge to freshen up before meeting around the campfire to share the stories of the day. Enjoy your dinner under the stars.
Go for a final game drive in an open safari vehicle with the Kruger guides. You will leave at sunrise, then be back at camp for a cooked breakfast and to check out.
Drive through the park as you make your way towards the exit gate and hopefully get one last glimpse of something special.
Transfer to the airport to depart with some fine memories of time well spent. At this point, you can visit the Blyde River Canyon on the way back to Johannesburg or even add an extra night if you would like to explore the region extensively.
