Birders Paradise Safari Experience

This Kruger Park package is the ultimate remote safari experience in terms of being in a very quiet and remote region and therefore creating the feeling of being completely alone in the African bush.

As the lodge is in a private wilderness concession you will come across very few travelers, allowing for an exclusive adventure. During your safaris, your guide will focus on pointing out many species of birds and share his intimate knowledge of the natural environment.

Safari Highlights

  • Excellent birding opportunities
  • Remote exclusivity
  • Ancestral home of the Makuleke people

Day 1: Travel to Kruger Park

Check-in is followed by a light lunch and then it is off into the private wilderness concession with your guide on a game drive. This region of Kruger National Park is the ancestral home of the Makuleke people and you can look forward to an evening around the fire listening to interesting folklore shared by your guide.

Day 2 - 4: Explore the remote African Wilderness

Early morning wake-up calls begin the days as you head out on morning game drives with your qualified guide. The area offers diverse sightings set against the beauty of the Kruger wilderness. Brunch is a leisurely affair and you have the rest of the mornings and afternoons to enjoy the absolute tranquillity.

Relax in the African Wilderness or try to spot one of the many species of birds with your Kruger Park safari guide. Your late afternoon and evening safaris will be between 3 - 4 hours which allows for ample time to see some of the many shy wildlife only coming out at night. Traditional dinners will be served on your return to the lodge.

Day 5: Depart Kruger National Park

Your last early morning wake-up call, followed by morning open safari vehicle game before returning to your Kruger Park safari lodge for breakfast. This marks the end of your 5-day Birders Paradise package in Kruger Park and you are ready for the return journey.
