Kruger National Park, one of Africa’s largest game reserves, is renowned for its remarkable biodiversity and stunning landscapes. Located in northeastern South Africa, this iconic park spans over 19,000 square kilometers and offers visitors the chance to encounter the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinoceros) along with a wealth of other wildlife species. The park’s diverse ecosystems, ranging from savannahs and woodlands to rivers and mountains, provide a haven for an abundance of flora and fauna.
Visitors to Kruger National Park can embark on thrilling game drives, guided walks, and wilderness trails, offering unparalleled opportunities to observe Africa’s incredible wildlife in their natural habitats. The park is also home to numerous camps and lodges, catering to visitors seeking an authentic safari experience amidst the breathtaking African wilderness. Whether marveling at a herd of elephants at a watering hole or witnessing a lion’s majestic roar at sunset, Kruger National Park promises unforgettable moments and unparalleled encounters with nature’s wonders.
It’s time to bid Cape Town farewell and catch your onward 2 hour flight to the Kruger National Park. Nestled in South Africa’s north-eastern region, Kruger is one of the largest and most iconic reserves in Africa and is home to the Big 5 (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and buffalo) as well as hundreds of other mammal and bird species. After transferring from the airport, you’ll have time to settle in before your first late afternoon game activity.
Afternoon game activity
Positioned at the confluence of the Mitomeni and Biyamiti rivers in the south-western corner of Kruger National Park, Jock Safari Lodge offers 6,000 hectares of exclusive traversing rights. This region is renowned for exceptional Big Five game viewing.
Sheltered by verdant trees and natural reed walls, the 12 secluded thatched rooms at Jock Safari Lodge provide a profound sense of solitude and integration with the surroundings.
Rise before dawn breaks and embark on your first morning game drive, scouring the horizon for evidence of last night’s hunt. Keep your eyes peeled for paw prints and tracks, while listening to your guide explain the delicate intricacies of Kruger’s diverse eco system. After a hearty breakfast back at the lodge, take a dip in the private plunge pool or perhaps an afternoon siesta, before your afternoon game activity and dinner under the stars.
Morning and afternoon game activity
Another full day in the bush to seek out some of the park’s notable residents. It’s not uncommon in the Kruger to watch a grazing herd of elephants slowly meander down to the waterhole, where zebra and impala take turns to watch for looming predators as they drink. Around every corner lurks the opportunity for danger, adding a sense of excitement to every moment on safari. This evening, enjoy a boma dinner with your fellow campmates around the roaring fire, swapping safari tales and memories.
Morning and afternoon game activity
Unfortunately as with all good things, your time in the bush must sadly come to an end! After a final morning game activity (time permitting), savour your final breakfast in the bush before transferring to the airport for your onward flight.
