To Safari is to Journey. It’s a voyage of discovery out in the African savanna. Its not a destination, it has no ending and it cannot be described or explained. It’s one of the true origins of adventure and it evokes emotions that take you to life's living edge. To Safari in the Kruger National Park is to explore a wilderness that has been protected for over a 100 years and witness one of earths last natural treasures. Our Safaria Overnight Kruger Park Safaris have been designed to take you deep into the heart of Kruger with the guidance of an expert who will share a wonder-filled story board of its history, heritage and of course diverse wildlife. After all its your Safari. Its your Story. We just want to help you tell it.
Only have 2 Days and want to visit the Kruger National Park?
For guests that want to visit the Kruger National Park and only have 2 Days to do so we have created a brief but in depth Safari Itinerary that focuses on the Southern Region. This Safari will offer you a comprehensive view of the Southern Kruger’s natural diversity with authentic Kruger accommodation, your own Expert Guide and Open Safari Vehicle.
Your Safari will take you deep in to the history of the South and the “Old Transport Riders Route” and piece together the importance of the original Sabie Reserve which ultimately lead to the establishment of the Park. In the South East of the Park there are perhaps the best chances of seeing the famous Big 5 as a result of the year round water and nutrient rich basalt plains that that attracts the grazers and predators. There are a variety of habitats in this area that offer up wonderful diversity which attracts a wide variety of species from large mammals to small mammals, birds and reptiles. Visiting the South of Kruger guests will experience an ever changing wilderness that takes them through thorn tree thickets along the rivers, to open grasslands and mixed woodland all wedged between the Lebombo and Barberton mountain ranges. Special mammal species of interest are the Black Rhino, Lichtenstein Hartebeest, Sable, Wild Dog and Cheetah.

    Day 1: Day Safari and Arrival at Camp
    Guests can either self-drive, request a transfer from Johannesburg or fly into KMIA Airport in Nelspruit for collection and transfer to their Camp accommodation in the Kruger Park. Check-Into Bungalow is from 14h00pm but we recommended getting into the Park as soon as possible to make the most of the day. As soon as we enter the Park we are already on Safari and will enjoy a game drive to the Overnight Camp. The Camp we stay at will be be based on availability in the Southern Region of the Park. We recommend guests are ready for collection on day of departure by 08h30am.
    On arrival at the Camp your guide will Check you into your Bungalow and explain the Camp and surrounding area. Guests can enjoy a late lunch or grab a take-away from the Camp restaurant before setting off at 15h00pm for the afternoon Sunset Safari in the surrounding area. The itinerary is very flexible and will be based on the time of arrival and our guests preferred need. The main objective is to get as much game viewing time as possible to maximise the opportunity for special sightings.
    As the Sun and its warm orange rays slowly fade, our sunset Safarras head out onto the African plain in the late afternoon at 15h00pm. The time of day when the adventurers and traders of old Africa would outspan and plan their camp for the evening. An Afternoon Safari is a time of day to go in search of thirsty elephants and lazy leopards. When lions slowly begin to rouse and open their eyes and frogs, crickets and nightjars save their breath for the evening symphony. Sunset Safari is a time between two worlds with golden lighting and soft orange hues.
    Guests will return to Camp at final sunset around 17h40pm where they can either return to their Safari Bungalow or go straight onto having an early dinner at the main Camp restaurant. After dinner guests will enjoy their own personal time in Camp. Your guide is available to have dinner with you should you request.
    Day 2: Sunrise Safari and Check-Out
    Early morning wake up at 05h15am for your Sunrise Safari and departure. We check-out and depart Camp with coffee, tea and rusks on board vehicle at 06h30am and make our way on a Sunrise Safari to another Camp within 2h30min hours for a morning breakfast stop at the Camps restaurant. After breakfast your guide will establish a final route that will take you via your lunch stop and then onto the exit gate at the pre-arranged time. Transfers are available to either the Airport, next destination in the area or Johannesburg. Should you be travelling directly back to Johannesburg after your Safari then it is very important to indicate if this will be via road transfer or airport flights as this effects your Park exit time.
    Our Safari Style
    Safaria’s Privately Guided Kruger Park Safaris have been created to provide our guests with an authentic, educational and exciting Kruger Park Safari experience. Our expert guides take you on a journey through the Kruger National Park sharing with our guests the diversity of the savanna, its species as well the Parks history and heritage. Our Safaris are unlike “tours" in that they are an un-rushed, story-filled experience that is personalised to every guest. Every Safari is specific tour our guests requirements and each drive is tailored around the specific region and its history, heritage and diversity. Your Guides main objective is to bring you as close as possible to the many wonders of Kruger and share with you their passion through wonder-filled stories , personal experiences and favourite places.
    Main Safari Routes
    With 1,700km or roads available to explore, the Park has provided us with a wonderful network of roads that access some of the best areas in the Park. When establishing our routes on Safari, we follow a simple principle of looking for beautiful scenery, nutrient rich soils and staying close to water. Preferred vegetation, grasses and water support the bulk of the game and provide the perfect environments for grazers, browsers and in turn the predators.
    The Southern Region of Kruger is predominantly based on granitic soils with pockets of the western boundary lending to basaltic substrate that offers the best grazing. The main rivers in the south are the Sabie and the Crocodile river which flow all year round and are incredibly productive for game viewing in the winter months. With the highest rainfall in the Park and positioned on well drained granitic soils, the Southern "sour veld" and offers a variety of eco-zones from mixed savanna woodland to riparian forrest and thorn-thicket. Species of interest in the South include both species of Rhino, Wild Dog and Cheetah. Of particular interest and often overlooked, the South is home to a few small heard os rare antelope such as Reedbuck, Sable Antelope and Liechtenstein Hartebeest. Seeing these animals is a particular highlight and whilst the may not be part of the famous 5 they a far rarer with population of less than 50 animals in the entire region.
    The Central Region of the Park between Tshokwane and Satara is widely regarded as the best Lion country in the Park. Supporting the largest grassland eco-zone, this area attracts large herds of grazers and for that reason is believed to home 25% of the Parks Lion population. The area is predominantly based on basaltic soils offering sweet nutritious grasses. These vast expanses provide great visibility particularly in the late winter. This is also a wonderful birding area for Raptors and Ground Birds alike.
    North of Satara the bush slowly starts to change to a more stunted mixed woodland with the Mopane tree as the dominant species. What the North lacks in general game population sizes, it makes up for in beauty, tranquility, diversity and adventure. The North is a far more traditional Safari experience and our personal favourite. Away from the busyness of the South, you find yourself on long expansive roads with very little company other than yourself and remote African savanna. This region of the Park is also home to the largest breeding herds of Elephant and Buffalo. The North is historically known as the “old Ivory Trail” and still today is famous for its large Elephant “Tuskers" and is home to 70% of todays big bulls. This is one of our prime focuses in the North and we work together with the Elephant Museum at Letaba Camp to document and provide feedback on sightings. One has to work a bit harder for predators in this region but every route is one that takes your breath away and there is always something around every corner.
    How we plan our Safari Routes
    Every day we plan our routes the night before using that days intelligence to best inform our decisions. We use local knowledge and the basic principle of staying close to water and prime grazing areas to go in search of game. Our routes are also based on the historical value of the region so that we can bring you closer to understanding who has been here and whats happened over the last 150 years. Our morning drives are usually around 4 hours and afternoon drives around 3 hours. Dependant on our overnight camp accommodation we may also journey for full days which means being on the open vehicle for more than 10 hours but with food and comfort break stops every 3 hours.
    Need a Transfer to the Park
    We offer guests a transfer option in luxury air-conditioned SUVs from Johannesburg to the Kruger National Park as well as from both Hoedspruit Airport and KMIA (Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport) to their accommodation should they wish to fly in and not drive. We provide the same return solution on departure.
    The adventure of Safari is an exciting adventure filled journey that captures the imagination of every traveller to Africa. Preparation is also part of the excitement and because the African bush can be unpredictable we advise that our guests kindly bring with them the following attire and items of a personal nature
    • Camera
    • Binoculars
    • A good bush hat for summer months or warm beanie in winter
    • Sunglasses
    • Comfortable shoes
    We don't recommend for heavily pregnant women or persons recovering from recent back or hip injuries/surgery.

    What to Wear:

    Summer Months : September to April
    Cool functional attire preferably in dull darker shades to create uniformity with environment. Always remember a good hat as well as sunscreen. Midday summer temperatures can reach upward of 40 degrees and afternoons can experience thundershowers. All vehicles are equipped with blankets and waterproof ponchos for our guests.
    Winter Months: May to August
    During the winter months we typically experience blue skies with a daily average temperature of 20 - 25 degrees Celsius. Early morning and late afternoons are cooler and we recommend warmer attire as this is amplified particularly when travelling on an open safari vehicle.
