Days 5 & 6: Kruger National Park
The Kruger Park is our next destination. The Kruger National Park is South Africa’s premier game reserve and a Kruger safari is a must do for travellers visiting Southern Africa. The park is known for its high concentration of wildlife, including the Big 5 and visitors are bound to see a large variety of game. We set up camp on the outskirts of the Kruger and on the first evening enjoy Shangaan tribal dancing. The Shangaans are the dominant local tribe of the Greater Kruger area.

After an early morning breakfast, we head to the gate of the Kruger Park. Note that the game drives are conducted in specially adapted open game vehicles. These 4x4 vehicles offer great viewing as well as excellent photographic opportunities. The local guides are well experienced and know all the best spots to find the animals. The guides are very knowledgeable and offer great insight with regards to the wildlife. We enjoy a morning game drive, before having a welcome break for lunch and a rest. The afternoon is spent searching for any elusive species that may have eluded us. After a long day in the park, we head for camp for a well-deserved rest.
