3 Days Breathtaking Safari in Kruger National Park, South Africa

Facilities

Day 1: Kruger National Park

Departure from Johannesburg

You will be collected at O. R. Tambo International Airport (JNB), Johannesburg, or any other destination in and around Johannesburg. You will drive along a scenic route to Numbi Gate of the Kruger National Park. You use Numbi Gate as it is the closest gate from Johannesburg. The duration of the drive will be anything between four and five hours. It all depends on where the departure point is.

Departure from Nelspruit

You will be collected from Nelspruit airport, Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (MQP), or any other destination in and around Nelspruit. It is not a long drive and you will make use of any of Numbi, Phabeni, or Malelane Gates of the Kruger National Park. It all depends on the departure point. The duration of the drive to the Kruger National Park would only be between 30 and 60 minutes. Your game viewing will start as soon as you enter the Kruger National Park. After the game drive, towards the evening and before gate closing time, you will arrive at the rest camp, where you will book in and freshen up before dinner.

Day 2 Kruger National Park

Your day will start very early in the morning as this is the best time to see the elusive animals of the Kruger National Park, especially lion and leopard. You will start your day with a cup of coffee or tea and rusks or biscuits (cookies), and make sure that you exit the gates of the rest camp as soon as they open. Starting your game drive, you will visit rivers, waterholes, and lookout points in the search of the Big Five and other animals that you might want to see. You might even visit the waterhole where the famous battle at Kruger took place.

As you are in constant radio contact with other open safari vehicles, you will be also asked for any updates regarding any special sightings. You will stop at a rest camp or picnic site to enjoy a scrumptious breakfast, before you carry on with your game drive and only return to the rest camp later for lunch and a short siesta. After your break and in the afternoon, you will head out for another game drive. Please note that if you prefer to stay out on safari the whole day, then you can do that.

Day 3: Kruger National Park

This would be your last day inside the Kruger National Park and you will again start very early with a cup of coffee or tea and rusks or biscuits. After a short game drive, you will stop at a rest camp or picnic site to enjoy breakfast, before you start heading your way to the gate where you will exit and return to your destination.

Note: Please note that this is just an example of what the safari could be like but can change due to unforeseen circumstances.

Kruger National Park

In the heart of the Lowveld, stretching for 352 kilometers from north to south along the Mozambique border, one of the world's foremost national parks can be found. This is the Kruger National Park, a wildlife sanctuary larger in area than Israel. Covering 19,624 square kilometers and averaging 60 kilometers in width, Kruger provides a refuge for hundreds of mammals, bird, fish, and insect species, types of trees and shrubs, and thousands of small plants.

The Kruger National Park is world-renowned as are several of the luxurious private reserves on its western boundary. It was established in 1898 to protect wildlife and covers an area of two million hectares. Truly the flagship of the South African national parks, Kruger is home to an impressive number of species: 457 trees and shrubs, 1,500 smaller plants, 49 fish, 34 amphibians, 114 reptiles, 507 birds, 147 mammals, and countless insects. Apart from the irresistible magnet of this wildlife mecca, some spectacular scenery can be viewed in the mountainous area known as the Panorama Route, en route to the Kruger Park.
