Kruger Wildlife Experience

6 days - from $2575

An unparalleled wildlife experience in a private game reserve

Kruger National Park and the adjoining private reserves of Greater Kruger National Park form one of Africa’s finest wildlife areas, offering superb viewing opportunities all year round. It is one of the first national parks to be established in Africa, the custodians of Kruger faced tragedy, triumph and hardship, as they have strived to protect a pristine wilderness region that is sanctuary to over 700 species of mammals, reptiles and birds. Our safari is conducted by a professional guide, who works in conjunction with the specialist local guides of Timbavati Private Reserve. After a night in Johannesburg we set out for Greater Kruger National Park using a microbus. Once we reach camp all game drives are conducted in open 4WD vehicles. We spend three nights in a private bush camp in Timbavati Game Reserve, part of Greater Kruger National Park, which boasts all of the 'Big Five', but the private reserves offer more opportunities for varied and close-up encounters. With the open 4WD vehicles and a maximum of nine people in each, there is ample space to observe the many different species as they interact with each other and their environment. Keen photographers also have the chance to take those special shots of unexpected and sometimes dramatic wildlife interactions, as well as of peaceful bushveld scenes.
