What you'll do

Embark on a safari adventure through the expansive Kruger National Park, beginning with an early morning pick-up from your lodge in Hazyview. Then, you may enjoy a drive to the park, one of the most extensive and diverse reserves in Africa. Upon arrival, you'll likely meet your safari guide, a knowledgeable ranger, and climb into an open-top 4WD vehicle, the ideal mode of transport for your morning game drive. 

As daylight breaks, the park's landscape comes alive, providing a spectacular backdrop to your safari experience. Your guide may share fascinating insights about the wildlife you encounter on your drive, including various raptors and other bird species. Make sure to keep your camera ready, as it's common for your guide to make several stops for you to capture the beauty of the waking park. 

Once you've worked up an appetite, your guide may drive you to a nearby safari lodge where you can enjoy a lunch break (at your own expense). Then, you'll likely continue your adventure in the afternoon, watching for Africa's Big Five (rhinos, elephants, leopards, lions, and buffaloes). Perhaps you'll learn about the term's history and how it became synonymous with African safaris.

As the sun sets, marking the end of your exhilarating day in the wild, your guide may return to one of the park's lodges. Here, you can bid farewell to your guide and fellow adventurers. The day may end with a comfortable drive back to your lodge in Hazyview.
