Year round travel
Welcome to the adventure of a lifetime! Immerse yourself in the untamed beauty of the African wilderness with our Private 8-Day Kruger Park Safari, led by the experienced and knowledgeable guide, Andy Wagner. This exclusive journey promises not only breathtaking encounters with the diverse wildlife that calls Kruger National Park home but also a personalized and enriching safari experience.
Under the guidance of Andy Wagner, a seasoned expert in the region's flora and fauna, you'll embark on a captivating exploration of one of Africa's most iconic wilderness areas. From the majestic Big Five to over 500 bird species and the sensational wonders of this every changing savanna ecosystem, every moment will be a discovery.
What our guests say :
"In November 2023 I went on a tour in Kruger with Andrew. I was extremely impressed not only with his knowledge of the park and its denizens - not only birds but flora, other fauna, its history & geography but his connection with it all. A regular visitor to the park since he was a lad and he knows it by heart, in his heart and in his bones. He delivers it all in a delightful package of humor, fun, gravitas (where appropriate) and service. Where else do you get your morning coffee fresh-made off the back of the vehicle while discussing the day’s plans. We saw 200+ birds and lots of other creatures in 4 days - his bird calls are incredible and he can even call in a Crocodile! After a tour with Andrew you leave Kruger wondering if you will ever be in such a magical place again. Then you start thinking about how to get back there"
