What our guest's say :
"Our family of 4, including two teenagers, had the pleasure of spending 4 days on safari with Andrew. Pick up at our hotel was on time and entering the park at the Paul Kruger gate was easy. We enjoyed exploring different areas of Kruger in his clean and comfortable vehicle (blankets, hot chocolate/coffee, and binoculars were thoughtfully provided). Andrew’s knowledge of the park (terrain, soil, plants, birds and animals) is unbelievably extensive. In addition to spotting the “big 5”, we observed a variety of other animals/birds and the very rare cheetah and wild dogs! Andrew also coordinated with Jafta to provide airport transfers and a panoramic tour of the Blyde River Canyon including the Three Rondavels, Bourkes Potholes, God’s Window and another scenic stop. We ended our trip touring Cape Town with a guide recommended by Andrew. Thanks to Safaria’s full service, we had an amazing bucket list trip"
On the Day of your Safari :
Collection Times - Summer (Oct to March) from 05h30am to 15h45pm
- Winter (Apr to Sept) from 05h45am to 15h45pm
That morning we will collect you from your accommodation (if you with 15km) or alternatively we collect you from the nearest KNP gate on a Open Safari Vehicle. Should you need to travel with your own vehicle there is secured parking available at all of the entrance gates. Your pick up will be personally scheduled and confirmed via email prior. As a guideline we collect guests from 05h15am in summer and 05h45am in winter. If you have requested to have your entrance fees included then we will manage your KNP entrance process on your behalf.
We suggest that you dress warmly with layered clothing that can be removed as the day starts to warm up. We do provide fleece blankets for guests as well as ponchos should there be any signs of rain. We recommend comfortable shoes, sunglasses, sunscreen and of course a good hat. We do offer a complementary pair of binoculars on the vehicle but make sure you bring along your camera.
As soon as we arrive at the entrance gate your guide will manage your entrance on your behalf and shortly there after we will head off into the Park. We spend the first 2h30min of the morning exploring and looking for signs of activity. The dawn chorus is a great time to see the sunrise over the savanna, listen to birds and look for many of the predators such as Lion, Leopard, Hyena and Wild Dog that may still be active at dawn. Our Open Safari Vehicle are "Fully Open" providing a fart greater sense of exposure and of course providing greater visuals of the savanna. This also make its far easier to engage with your guide, asking questions and general conversation for the day.
Around 08h45am we will stop for breakfast at one of the Camps or outposts. Many of the lodges and hotels outside of the Park will offer breakfast packs or you are welcome to enjoy a sit down breakfast or enjoy your breakfast pack provided by your hotel or lodge with a hot cup of coffee. After breakfast its back on the vehicle and out into the Savanna. With game activity reaching its peak before lunch we will focus on specific areas to maximise sightings opportunities. With the midday temperatures rising, water points and rivers become focal and hotspots for activity. We will spend time along the water frontage taking in all the herbivores as they come down to drink.
Our midday lunch stop again will be at one of the Camps or Outposts. After a relaxing meal and good leg stretch around the camp we can take a look through the shop for any wanted curio and then again out into the bush. Whilst the afternoons are warmer to time spent out in the park provides grater opportunities to encounter new species and learn more about the flora and history and heritage.
Our Safari style is personalised and interpretive and blends natural facts with ancient bush wisdoms. We prefer to take our time and not rush, with 147 mammals, 520 birds, 172 reptiles and over 2,400 species or flora, there is a tremendous amount to see. Our Safaris offer a deeply insightful and offer a wonder-filled story board, carefully selected routes, attention the history and heritage and of course close up and personal encounters. Come take the journey with us !

This Full Day Safari Tour offers guests the best opportunity to see the Kruger National Park, its diverse landscapes and most importantly its wildlife. With a Full Day your expert guide has more time to share the wonders of the Kruger National Park
As sun slowly begins to rise over the Kruger National Park, our guests are collected from Paul Kruger Gate, Phabeni Gate, Numbi Gate or Malelane Gate. These pick up times are confirmed prior but are usually between 05h30am and 06h00am. Guests staying in Hazyview can be collected from their accommodation and guests without transport can book a transfer from their accommodation to the closest gate. Prior to your departure we would request copies of each guests Passport via email so that we pre-arrange your access into the Park. After all if you only have a day why waste valuable time queuing when you should be exploring.
After the pre-drive safety discussion you will begin your bush Ulendo. ‘Going-to-bush’ and discovering the Kruger Park over a full day, is an extraordinary experience. Waking with all of its wildlife and watching as they go about their daily journey, our guides will interpret and share with you their story. We want our Safarras to experience the Kruger National Park visually, imaginatively and emotionally. For this very reason our guides are not only experts on the land and its wildlife but also its heritage and folklore.
As you journey your guide will start to share all of these wonders. You will seek out its wildlife and go in search of the legendary Big 5. On Ulendo you will learn the story of Kruger the people and cultures that created this mystical place.
