Your full-day (eight to nine-hour) safari drive into the Kruger National Park will begin before sunrise,
with pickup from any hotel or address in the vicinity of Hoedspruit in one of our open safari vehicles,
giving you a higher vantage point and a perfect panoramic view of the animals.
Your guide will use their professional skills and knowledge to assist you in looking for and finding the park's most famous animals, as well as explaining some natural phenomena.
Stopping at various lookout points, waterholes, and rivers will increase your chances of seeing as
much of the park's fauna and flora as well as the spectacular scenery of various areas of the park.
You will have lunch at one of the rest camps, where you can stretch your legs, do some souvenir
shopping and take in the surrounds.
To make the best of the experience, you should wear comfortable clothing in neutral colours to
blend in with the natural surroundings and bring along sunglasses, a hat, and sun cream to protect
yourself from the African sun. And don’t forget your camera!
All that remains then in making it a never-to-forget-experience, is to follow your guide's instructions,
keep a safe distance from the animals and refrain from feeding or teasing them, in order not to
disrupt the natural balance of this magnificent ecosystem.
