As the sun rises over the vast savannah, Kruger National Park awakens with an orchestra of calls from the wild. From the mighty elephants trumpeting in the distance to the stealthy leopards prowling through the bush, the park teems with life at every turn. Your expert guide Andy Wagner, who an intimate understanding of the park’s ecosystems, will lead you on game drives that offer privileged access to some of the most sought-after sightings in the Park. Patiently, we await those decisive moments when the lionesses set out on the prowl or when a herd of graceful impalas gracefully leap through the grasslands.
As the day’s heat intensifies, you will shift your focus to the more intricate details of the bush and world beneath the surface of the general Big5. In the company of Andy Wagner, you will venture deeper into the heart of the bush, uncovering the fascinating lives of insects, reptiles, birds and the smaller mammals.

These encounters provide an intimate perspective of the park’s diverse ecosystem and present opportunities to create artistic compositions that celebrate the often-overlooked inhabitants of Kruger.
