What to expect
- Extensive game drives: The core of the package is the immersive wildlife viewing experience. The itinerary includes six separate open-vehicle game drives within Kruger National Park: an introductory afternoon drive on arrival, full days featuring both morning and afternoon/evening drives on days two and three, and a final farewell morning drive on day four.
- Open safari vehicles: All game drives are conducted in specialized, open-sided game viewing vehicles. This design ensures guests have unobstructed panoramic views of the bushveld and excellent angles for wildlife photography.
- Expert ranger guidance: Safaris In Africa provides expert rangers who lead each excursion. Their commentary enriches the drives by sharing deep knowledge of the ecosystem, helping guests spot tracks, understand animal behaviour, and appreciate both the major predators and the smaller details of the bush.
- Big five focus: The excursions are specifically designed to maximize opportunities to encounter the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo), alongside a rich diversity of other species across the sweeping savannahs, plains, and river systems of the park.
- Seamless transfers: While not a traditional wildlife excursion, the package includes private, comfortable transfers between Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport and the camp, ensuring the entire adventure is stress-free from arrival to departure.
Location
The location is truly spectacular because it sits right on the serene banks of the Crocodile River on the southern edge of the Kruger National Park. The camp is deeply embedded in the natural bushveld, meaning guests don't even have to leave the property to experience incredible wildlife sightings. From the restaurant and private tent decks, it's common to see large herds of elephants coming to feed, as well as hippos, buffalo, and a wide variety of birdlife. At night, the sounds of the African bush—like the grunting of hippos—provide an unforgettable backdrop.
The camp is also steeped in local history. It offers a striking view of the historic Selati Railway Bridge, built in 1912, which stands as a tribute to the early pioneers of the region.
Komatipoort
Just a short drive away is the warm, tropical town of Komatipoort, famously situated at the geographic crossroads where the Crocodile and Komati Rivers meet, right on the border of Mozambique. This gives the area a unique, relaxed, frontier-town atmosphere.
Here is what you can find nearby:
- Crocodile Bridge Rest Camp and Gate: The camp is mere meters away from this southern entrance to Kruger National Park. This provides rapid, queue-free access to some of the best game-viewing territory in the park, known for high concentrations of the Big Five, including both white and black rhinos.
- Kambaku Golf Club: For those looking to relax outside of the safari vehicle, this 9-hole golf course in Komatipoort offers a very unique experience—hippos and other wildlife are frequently spotted roaming near the greens!
- Cultural and cross-border day trips: Because of the town's strategic location, visitors can easily arrange day tours to explore the beaches of Maputo in nearby Mozambique or experience cultural village tours in neighboring Eswatini (Swaziland).
