The Kruger National Park is one of the world's leading nature reserves, and on a 4-day safari, we spend a lot of time exploring the park. Spending a full day in the Kruger National Park can sound tiring, but the guides stop regularly at rest camps and lookout points. This package is designed for the true safari traveler who wants to spend as much time in nature and in Kruger as possible.

2Full day Safari
All safaris start before sunrise. This is the best part of the day, and after a short drive to the park, you'll enter the park gates, and your guide will have an idea of the best areas to find wildlife, including the Big Five. This is the best time of day to see predators. The lodge will arrange breakfast packs, and your guide will stop after about 3 hours for breakfast, a bathroom break, and a chance to get a coffee. We'll then continue with your safari. The Kruger offers a variety of eco-zones, and each one has a different range of wildlife. You will visit rivers and watering holes as well as plains and bushveld regions. You'll then stop for lunch at a rest camp, where this meal will be on your own account. It's time to do some curio shopping or enjoy a cold beer! The guide will then continue with the safari, heading towards the lodge, where you will arrive between 3:30 pm and 4:00 pm, giving you time to relax, swim, and have a great dinner.

3Exploring the Panorama Route
Today you will visit God's Window, Bourkes Luck Potholes, Blyde River Canyon (the world’s 3rd largest canyon), Lisbon Waterfall, the 3 rondavels, and the town of Graskop. God’s Window allows people a window from the escarpment and a 1000-meter drop below. On a clear day, one can see as far as Kruger and beyond. Bourkes Luck Potholes is a stunning natural formation created by water erosion over hundreds of years. Blyde River Canyon is the third-largest canyon in the world. The canyon is over 40 kilometers long and is as deep as 1 200m. Lisbon Falls is a beautiful waterfall that has a strong flow of water throughout the year. Lunch and some curio shopping will be in the Highveld town of Graskop, famous for its great pancakes and our lunch venue for the day. Lunch is on your own account. Arrive back at the lodge at about 4:00 p.m. after a great day. Enjoy a drink, a swim, and dinner at the lodge before an early start for the last morning safari in the Kruger.

4A Final Safari before Heading Home
You make another early departure from the lodge, before sunrise, into the Kruger National Park. Your guide will focus on animals you could not find on the first two safaris and hope for lions and leopards, as they are most active in the early mornings. The Kruger National Park has 148 mammal species and over 500 bird species. Your guide will help you find as many as possible. No safari is ever the same, and the Kruger National Park has a huge network of roads to choose from. Guides will safari in different areas of the park in different seasons. After a short breakfast and a coffee stop, you will continue with the safari, returning to the lodge at around 11:00 a.m. You will say your goodbyes to your guide and freshen up before the journey back to Johannesburg. Clients are picked up by the shuttle at around 11:30 a.m., and your return to Johannesburg OR Tambo shuttle terminal and lodges within a 5km radius arrives between 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.

Getting There
The southern African air transport hub is O.R. Tambo International Airport (JNB) in Johannesburg. The majority of subsequent travel is by car.

In most cases, your local tour operator will arrange airport pickup and additional transportation as part of your tour package.
Other international airports are located in Cape Town and Durban, but there are few direct flights from Europe or America to either destination.
Yes, a transfer from and back to the airport is included
