Few destinations rival the Kruger National Park. It is the largest game reserve in South Africa and is almost two million hectares of land, where its wild inhabitants thrive. It is an indescribable wildlife experience, and it ranks as one of the best on the African continent, the ultimate safari experience.
Your days will be filled with early morning and afternoon game drives, where each venture into the park holds something new to see. No two days in the Kruger National Park are ever the same and it adds an exciting element. After your time in one of the world’s greatest national parks, you will end with a tour of the Panorama Route, a collection of natural sights that will leave you enamored with the beauty of this country.
This morning you will be collected from your hotel, heading east to the Mpumalanga region.
