Day 1:  Johannesburg to Kruger Park

This Kruger Park adventure begins with an early morning departure from Johannesburg. We travel across the “high veld” to the Drakensburg escarpment, where we descend into the “low veld” – ideal conditions for wildlife and a popular area for safaris.  On arrival at the lodge, we have lunch and some time to unwind before our first game drive. This afternoon / evening game drive takes place in the private reserves and gives us our first opportunity to view Africa’s incredible wildlife, including the Big 5. Dinner is enjoyed under the stars.

An early start to the day with tea and coffee before heading for the Kruger Park in our 4x4 open vehicle. We enter the park as the Kruger gates open and enjoy an exciting sunrise game drive. The especially adapted vehicles allow for excellent game viewing – have your cameras ready. A mid-morning stop for a packed breakfast and our search for wildlife continues. The experienced guides have an in depth knowledge of the Kruger Park and know all the best waterholes and areas to spot animals. A welcome stop for lunch at one of the Kruger rest camps, and we continue our search for the Big 5.
