5-Day Epic Safari in Kruger Park and Blyde Canyon

We will pick you up from Johannesburg International Airport and give a private, guided journey to Kruger National Park. Your expert guide will enlighten you about the history, culture, and scenery you will see along the way.

You will arrive at the reserve gates, enter, and begin observing animals as soon as you return to your tent. After checking into your Kruger Park lodge at Crocodile Bridge (or a similar location), you will go on your first brief game drive to get a feel for the African wilderness. The length of the journey will be determined by the time we leave the airport and how exhausted you, the weary traveler, are. This is an excellent time to drive, and you are sure to start your safari off on the right foot with a memorable encounter.

Your supper is provided at camp after sunset, cooked over an open fire under the African sky. Then it's time to get some sleep before embarking on your safari excursion the next day.

Main Destination: Kruger National Park.
Accommodation: Crocodile Bridge Rest Camp
Mid-range rest camp located inside Southern Kruger NP

You will get up before sunrise to get an early start on things. This is the optimum time to see the game since the nocturnal animals are still active and the other animals take advantage of the cooler morning temperatures to travel to watering holes. Take in the sights and fragrances while experiencing Africa at its finest!

You will continue on before pausing for a catered breakfast made outside at a picnic location with spectacular views of the surrounding bushveld and animals drinking their morning drink. During the heat of the day, you'll rest by the pool, continue game driving, or lounge beneath the garden trees while identifying the various birds that live here.

Just before nightfall, you will go in an open safari vehicle with the Kruger Rangers for a 3-hour night drive with spotlights. The predators are now highly active. You will return to camp for a delicious meal made by your guide in true South African manner, over open coals and beneath African skies.

Main Destination: Kruger National Park.
Accommodation: Crocodile Bridge Rest Camp, a mid-range rest camp within Southern Kruger National Park.

This day will begin much like the previous day, with an early start to catch the worm (or lion) and another open vehicle game drive. You'll travel to another region of the park for some variation, stopping for a bush breakfast at a picnic location along the route. After letting it all settle, you'll continue at a moderate pace and locate a cool location to rest and take in the scenery.

You will shift campgrounds today to see a new part of the park. After checking in, you'll have the opportunity to explore your new surroundings before embarking on an afternoon wildlife drive. Again, your guide will locate a fantastic site to have a few'sundowners' and afternoon snacks of cheese, biscuits, and traditional South African biltong while gazing out over the huge Savannah! You will return to camp to refresh up before gathering around the campfire to tell stories from the day. Your meal will be served again beneath the stars!

Main Destination: Kruger National Park.
Accommodation: Satara Rest Camp (a mid-range rest camp located within Central Kruger National Park)).

You will have a last wildlife drive in an open safari vehicle with the Kruger guides. You'll leave before daylight and return to camp for a cooked breakfast before checking out. You'll take a short drive around the park on your way to the departure gate, hoping to get one final glimpse of anything remarkable.

You'll then depart the park and head to the Blyde River Canyon. You will see all of the canyon's greatest features, including God's Window, the Three Rondawels, Bourkes Luck Potholes, and the Berlin and Lisbon Waterfalls. Then you'll check into your accommodations in the Blyde Canyon Reserve. There are several adventure activities available to people with an adventurous heart.

Your supper will be in the resort restaurant (at your own expense), with breathtaking views of the Three Rondawel formation, as well as directly outside your chalet!

Main destination: Blyde River Canyon Nature Reserve (Panoramic Route).
Accommodation: Blyde Canyon Mid-range cottage inside Blyde River Canyon (Panoramic Route).

On this day, you may have a relaxed start or embark on a gorge walk. After that, you will have a delicious breakfast at the lodge before continuing your journey back to Johannesburg.

At this point, you are free to add any additional nights to explore the region or other wild locations.
