Game drives are in small groups in specially modified open-sided land cruisers. The Skukuza area is rich in wildlife, and the elevated height of the 4×4 open-sided vehicle makes for excellent viewing and photographic opportunities.

Day 3: Kruger National Park - Johannesburg

Today you will say goodbye to the fabulous Kruger Park. This morning you have a choice between another morning game drive or relaxing at the lodge and enjoying the great facilities it offers.

If you join the morning safari, a picnic-style breakfast will be served at one of the picnic spots in the park.
The morning game drive is entirely optional and on your own account (payable at the lodge), and it is a great way to spend your last morning on tour if you feel the need to see wild animals one last time.
