    Countries South Africa
    Overview Spend a great deal of time exploring the Kruger National Park during our five-day safari. The safaris will provide an opportunity to see more of the Kruger and a wider variety of areas as opposed to the shorter safaris that are restricted to staying close to the camps, resulting in the same areas being seen on every safari. The guides frequently stop at rest camps and lookout points during a full day of exploration in the Kruger National Park. As we traverse different grasslands and ecological zones, our chances of seeing more wildlife are increased. Enjoy a sunset/night safari, a full day open safari vehicle safari, a full day panoramic safari in a closed vehicle, and two morning safaris in the Kruger Park. Tours depart every Monday – Wednesday – Saturdays
