(this is typically the departure point to Kruger when you are in South Africa)
Guests have a variety of options in travelling from Johannesburg to the Kruger National Park. We can offer any one of these based on your preference and include in your Safari package.
Here are some of the options available:
DAY 1:
Dependant on how we have booked your mode of travel or transfer to the Kruger National Park we will always aim to have you on the Open Safari Vehicle and entering the Park just before lunch. As soon as we enter Kruger we are on Safari and will already be on the look out for game that is feeding over the midday. On our route to your overnight camp we will be looking for Elephants taking a nap in the shade of large trees, Zebra and Wildebeest grazing out in the open and Impala antelope who’s herds can be seen scattered all over the Park.
We will stop for lunch at Skukuza Camp and after a brief orientation we will head back out into the bush following along the Sabi river in search of many of the species that look for the cool shade offered by the large trees that line the river bank. This is a great place to find Leopard and Lion as well as Buffalo coming down to drink and lie in the water.
We will spend the afternoon maximising on game viewing and sharing as much as possible with you about Kruger’s heritage and its incredible wildlife. The area between Skukuza Camp and Lower Sabi camp offers pristine habitat and the raw, natural African bush quickly captures your imagination and emotion. It’s a scene that epitomises the Africa savanna with its diverse landscapes, exceptional animal diversity and offers a complete assault on the sense.
Making the most of the first day we will only roll into camp late and check in from 17h30. Once we have settled you in your bungalow, you will have some time to relax before you head of to dinner. Dinner time is completely up to you and the camp has two different restaurants to choose from which we will show you on arrival at Skukuza. Skukuza camp also has a very well stocked shop should you wish to stock up on anything from drinks to snacks and personal items.
DAY 2:
Waking up in the African bush is something very special. The sounds alone are incredible and the dawn chorus of birds and perhaps Lion and Hyena really remind you that you are in Africa. Your guide Andrew will collect you from your bungalow and once your baggage is packed you will head out into the Park.
Picking up on the evening’s activity and early morning tracks and signs, Andrew will select a route that captures the best of the early morning and the games movements. Sunrise is the best time for many of the predators and species that have been feeding all-night and looking to quench their thirst. So we will check out the rivers and dams as well as shady woodland areas before making our way for a coffee stop around 08h00. Imagine an endless view with a French press coffee and biscotti as you search below for Giraffe, Zebra, Elephant and buffalo.
After coffee we will continue on towards another camp for a breakfast stop looking. As the sun rises the day changes and the larger species come out and start grazing and browsing. It’s always exciting and nothing ever stays the same in the bush. There is always something to excite the senses.
After breakfast we will start to make our way to you pick and departure point. This will of course be determined by your next destination and preferred mode of transport.
*Note – We will assist you with planning and booking your transport and transfers but any flights will need to be done by yourself.
Having taken hundreds of Safaris into the Kruger National Park we know from experience what’s important to pack. Here are a few items we recommend that you don’t leave home without:
We recommend light functional attire preferably in natural colour shades to blend in with our environment and not stand out visually to game species. Summer can be hot and the direct sunlight dangerous so please remember a good hat as well as sunscreen. During the hottest summer months (Nov/Dec) the daytime temperatures can reach 35 degrees Celsius from 10h30 and from 13h00 the temperature can reach upward of 40 degrees. The summer months are also our rainy season so the afternoons can experience thunder showers but all vehicles are equipped with waterproof ponchos as well as canvas flaps that can enclose the vehicle.
During the winter months in the Kruger National Park, we will usually experience blue skies on most days but with a daily average temperature of 18 to 26 degrees Celsius. The early mornings on Safaris can be cooler with temperatures from 5 to 8 degrees and late afternoons again dropping below 18 degrees. Winter Safaris are fantastic because the visibility is very good but we do recommend that you have warm clothing as the wind on the back of an Open Safari Vehicle can make things chilly. On our Safari vehicles we do provide fleece blankets.
