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 :
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. There is safe parking at all of the gates should you need to leave your vehicle at the gate. 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. 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 look for many of the predators. Often we encounter them on the roads so its important that we stay mobile and get as deep into the Park as possible.
Around 9am we will stop for breakfast at one of the Camps or outposts. You are welcome to then order 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. Your guide would have connected with other guides during breakfast and decided on a route to maximise the last 3 hours of your Safari before drop off again at the gate or your lodge around 13h00pm.
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.
Frequently Asked Day Safari Questions :
What time do our Day Safaris Depart and return ?
Our Sunrise Half Day and Full Day Safaris depart from the nearest gate of entry to your accommodation. If you are within 15km of a Kruger Park gate we will collect you from your accommodation on the morning and drop you off after your Safari.
Departure times as follows :
Summer months from 05h15am
Winter months from 06h00am
On our Half Day Safaris we aim to have our clients back at the exit gates by 12h30pm and 15h30pm for our Full Day Safaris.
For our Private Vehicle Safaris this is completely flexible and will be determined based on your request.
What kind of Safaris vehicles do we use ?
All of our Safaris are conducted on brand new, state of the art Safaris Vehicles. Are Safari vehicles are considered to be Open-air Safari Vehicles that offer you direct access to your Guide. This is important to note because some Safari Vehicles have a closed cab in the front where the guide peers through a small gap. We don't believe in this and have ensured our guests are not hindered by this set up. Our Vehicles can accommodate up to 9 comfortably and are equipped with mineral waters and onboard coffee and tea options that no other operator can offer. We also offer our clients fleece blankets and ponchos in th event that the weather changes. Our Safari Vehicles have basic first aid kits and are insured with R50million personal liability. Apart from that we have the best in the business, just ask our guests!.
Are Game drives in Safari vehicles safe ?
Absolutely ! Firstly, because you are in the hands of an expert guide (Our guides are FGASA qualified) and secondly because under the correct guidance the wildlife does not perceive us to be a threat and as such disregards our presence. The advantage is that you will have open air, front row seats to some of the most spectacular wildlife in Africa. There is no comparison between a Open Safari vehicle and a closed vehicle (bus or even SUV). We have a far greater ride height which offers the best views and together with a guide thats an expert on the Park your experience is far superior than a self-drive.
Can we drive off road in the Kruger Park ?
Sadly this is not allowed but its also for the best reasons. The simple answer is that Kruger is a National Park which means its a protected environment. In order to ensure we can pass this down to future generations there are rules in place to safe guard and preserve this iconic wilderness from human disruption. It also means that you don't have clueless guests driving around over sensitive areas causing untold damage to the Parks fauna and flora.
Are we allowed to get out of the vehicle ?
No, and this is for your own safety. There are areas that your guide will take you to that allows you to get out of the vehicle but these will be camps and picnic stops. For you r own safety the Park does not allow anyone to get out of the vehicle in the bush.
Where can you stop and eat on a Day Safari in Kruger ?
All of the 12 Main Camps in the Park have a restaurant as well as a shop with a wide variety of food and beverage options. Over and above this you also two outposts in the Southern Regional, Tshokwane and Afsaal, which offers a bush kitchen menu with local favourites. All of the Camp restaurants have a menu that covers breakfast, lunch and dinner and also has vegetarian options available. The Park does not support Halaal. So weather you are on a Day Safari or Overnight Safari there are many options available. All our Safaris are private so when you area with us we will establish a daily route and itinerary that covers an area and includes stops at the Camps for breakfast, lunch and dinner. For guests on a Day Safari we recommend a daily budget of R185pp for food and beverages. We do provide Coffee, tea and waters on our Open Safari Vehicles.
Can you bring your own food into Kruger on a Day Safari ?
If you have a particular dietary requirement or you are staying outside the Park and wanting to book a Day Safari, you are certainly welcome to bring your own food in. On a day Safari guests can bring a cooler box with food, snack and beverages however no alcohol will be allowed through the entrance gate. On the overnight Safaris we include meals so this wont be necessary but should you be Halal or Vegan we can make prior arrangements to cater fo you.
What kind of animals can you see on a Kruger Park Day Safari ?
Not to take away from any of the excitement but its important to first remember that the Kruger National Park is not a Zoo. The exciting part is that every Safari is a treasure hunt and the Park offers us an incredible variety of fauna and flora to discover. There are over 140 mammal species, 520 Bird species, 172 reptiles, 2400 flora species and countless invertebrates. During the course of a single day guests can expect to encounter many mammals species with the common ones being Impala, Zebra, Wildebeest (Gnu), Giraffe, Elephant, Buffalo, Kudu, Warthog, Hippopotamus and Waterbuck. Then their are of course the rarer species which include the predators like Lion, Leopard, Cheetah, Wilddog and Hyena. All of these species are mainly nocturnal in their behaviour but they do sometimes offer us a glimpse during the day light hours. The benefit of having a Private Safaria Guide is they he/she will know exactly which areas are likely to have the greatest predator activity and will get you right into the hotspots. Whilst we can never guarantee see these rarer species in a single day we would have a far greater opportunity to see then during a longer duration in the Park. Also don't forget that our guides also love seeing them so they will engage with other guides and also structure each safari in such a way that it improves your opportunities of seeing one of the more elusive animals. Our Safaria style doesn't chase the Big 5 but rather offers a clients a holistic experience of Kruger that incorporates all its fauna and flora to create much more rewarding experience. Yes sure we also want to see the Big 5 but from experience and what our clients have taught us, the greater Safari experience is the most important part.
What should you wear on a Kruger Park Day Safari ?
The right colours are khaki and tan for the obvious reasons that they hide the dirt, lend into the surroundings and good for game walks. When you are travelling by Open Safari Vehicle you can wear similar but jeans are also fine. We do however recommend that you avoid shirts that are bright in colour with unusual patterns, theres no point scaring the animals and other guests. Here is a list of the general safari attire must-haves for your South African safari: 1. Comfortable walking shoes or a pair of sandals. 2. A decent hat or cap which can take direct sun and protect your face. 3. Waterproof windbreaker or fleece for cool mornings and bad weather. 5. Long pants that can be zipped into shorts. 6. Earth tones are the best colours 7. Tea shirt or Button-down long-sleeve sport shirts (technical material best) 8. Sunglasses

The KRUGER NATIONAL PARK is one of Africa’s premier Game Reserves with a near 20,000sqm kilometres of protected wilderness. The Kruger National Park is a bucket list destination for the avid adventure traveller, safari lover and wilderness aficionado. Being South Africa’s 2nd most popular destination after Cape Town, it’s a destination that needs an expert operator to guide you in your expectations and planning.
As the Premium Kruger Park Safari Operator, Safaria offers guests a host of Day Safari and Overnight Safari packages into the Kruger Park that focus on a more personalized and boutique safari experience. What makes us different is matter of both the “who” and the “how”. It comes down to who we are and how we make you feel. We follow a family philosophy around Safari and from our experiences have established a narrative around story telling and educating our guests. Our Safaris are not tours but journeys in the true sense of the word and every Safari is one of exploration and observation. The two main ingredients that we place the most emphasis on is the quality of Guiding and then making sure our guests are seated on the finest vehicles in operation. These two ingredients provide the very platform to ensure that our guests have a memorable experience.Here are a few questions that are regularly asked and we want to help answer them for you.
Choosing the right Day Safari operator all starts with your own expectations of the Safari experience that you want to have. With a wide variety of operators to choose from it’s important to do your research as they vary from a 3Star to a 5Star. Quality operators have a standard and that’s usually clear in the quality of vehicles operated as well as website, product descriptions, booking platform and up to date social media platforms. Ticking all of these boxes would mean you have found a quality operator.
What Safaria aims to do is set the standard in being the Premium Kruger Park Day Safari Experience and we do it by making sure that we offer the very best in every aspect. From our vehicles and guides to our digital presence and booking functionality. Doing the basics well are key but the real benchmark is the way in which we conduct our Safari and our passion to share our knowledge of the Savannah in an informative and professional manner. This is what really differentiates a quality Safari from a Tour.
Our Safaria website offers guests a variety of Day Safari products that allows them to review the Safari, download the PDF as well as book and pay the selected Safari on the requested date through a secure credit card pay link. Our online booking platform is hosted by Nights-Bridge who are a reputable destination booking solution giving you piece of mind that your booking and payment are professionally handled. Once you have booked an automated email will come through to your provided email address and the owner will personally respond within a few hours confirming your booking. Should you rather wish to send an enquiry this will also be treated with urgent attention. All enquiries can be sent to info@safaria.co.za
Safaria offer a range of day safari packages but the most popular is the Full Day Ulendo Safari. We would also recommend this for the simple reason that there is so much to see in the Kruger Park that one really does need a full day to experience it. With such incredible diversity and such wonderful history and heritage, your guide needs a full day to share with you this iconic wilderness and its past.
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.

As the Premium Kruger Park Safari Operator, Safaria offers guests a host of Day Safari and Overnight Safari packages into the Kruger Park that focus on a more personalized and boutique safari experience. What makes us different is matter of both the “who” and the “how”. It comes down to who we are and how we make you feel. We follow a family philosophy around Safari and from our experiences have established a narrative around story telling and educating our guests. Our Safaris are not tours but journeys in the true sense of the word and every Safari is one of exploration and observation. The two main ingredients that we place the most emphasis on is the quality of Guiding and then making sure our guests are seated on the finest vehicles in operation. These two ingredients provide the very platform to ensure that our guests have a memorable experience.Here are a few questions that are regularly asked and we want to help answer them for you.
How to choose your Day Safari Operator
Choosing the right Day Safari operator all starts with your own expectations of the Safari experience that you want to have. With a wide variety of operators to choose from it’s important to do your research as they vary from a 3Star to a 5Star. Quality operators have a standard and that’s usually clear in the quality of vehicles operated as well as website, product descriptions, booking platform and up to date social media platforms. Ticking all of these boxes would mean you have found a quality operator.
What Safaria aims to do is set the standard in being the Premium Kruger Park Day Safari Experience and we do it by making sure that we offer the very best in every aspect. From our vehicles and guides to our digital presence and booking functionality. Doing the basics well are key but the real benchmark is the way in which we conduct our Safari and our passion to share our knowledge of the Savannah in an informative and professional manner. This is what really differentiates a quality Safari from a Tour.
Book your Kruger National Park Safaria Experience
Our Safaria website offers guests a variety of Day Safari products that allows them to review the Safari, download the PDF as well as book and pay the selected Safari on the requested date through a secure credit card pay link.

Which is the best Kruger Park Day Safari
Safaria offer a range of day safari packages but the most popular is the Full Day Ulendo Safari. We would also recommend this for the simple reason that there is so much to see in the Kruger Park that one really does need a full day to experience it. With such incredible diversity and such wonderful history and heritage, your guide needs a full day to share with you this iconic wilderness and its past.
The Safaria Full Day Ulendo Safari
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.
