Day 1: Johannesburg to Kruger National Park
Your Africa Safari Tours journey begins with a transfer from Johannesburg to the southern region of Kruger National Park. On arrival, you immediately join an afternoon game drive through the bushveld, where wildlife gathers around waterpoints as the day cools. Your guide helps position the vehicle for optimal sightings and photography as you search for elephants, buffalo, giraffes, and predators moving through the golden light. As sunset approaches, you continue to Kruger Gate Hotel, located along the Sabie River. After check-in, you relax on the viewing deck before enjoying dinner beside a warm fire, surrounded by the sounds of the African bush.
Day 2: Kruger National Park
This full day of your Africa Safari Holiday is dedicated entirely to exploring Kruger National Park’s famous Big Five territory. Early morning begins with a game drive when predators are most active, followed by a breakfast stop in the bush. The journey continues through riverine routes where hippos, crocodiles, and birdlife are frequently spotted. After a midday break, another game drive takes you deeper into wildlife-rich areas before returning to the lodge. The afternoon is spent relaxing by the pool or on the deck overlooking the Sabie River, followed by a traditional dinner in a scenic bush setting.
