Day 1: Travel to the Kruger National Park

First wildlife sightings can already be experienced en-route to your classic tented camp once you enter the Kruger Park gate.
Arrival at the camp is scheduled for the afternoon where you will enjoy a welcome drink before being taken to your room where you can settle in and freshen up. You will meet back at the main camp area and then head out on a game drive.
Enjoy sundowner drinks before embarking on a night game drive back to the camp. A traditional African dinner is served on return to your tented camp.

After the early morning wake-up call, you will enjoy a fresh cup of coffee/tea and snacks before going on a morning game drive with your expert safari guide and tracker. You will get to see some of the spectacular wildlife of Kruger National Park. You will be transferred to your next camp where you will continue to enjoy the wonders of the bush.
Enjoy a delicious high tea before setting off on a bush walk. This walking safari will be between 3-4 hours depending on the fitness of the group. Enjoy dinner on arrival back at camp before retiring for the evening.
Day 3: Walking Safari in Kruger National Park
After the early morning wake-up call, you will enjoy a fresh cup of coffee/tea and snacks before setting off on a walking trail from the camp. The morning walk is an exciting experience, tracking African wildlife on foot by following "spoor" (tracks) of the different wildlife along paths through the bush.
