We like to call this our best value tour since you get a whole lot of bang for your buck! On this safari tour, you will be observing the Big 5 (lion, leopard, Cape Buffalo, rhino and elephant) as well as a host of antelope, birdlife and amphibians, and be inspired by an authentically African atmosphere in the largest game reserve in South Africa. Kruger National Park is larger than some small countries in Europe and is just less than two million hectares of conservation area.

Add to this a full day tour of the Panorama Route which includes, amongst others, the Blyde River Canyon, God's Window, Bourke's Luck Potholes, Lisbon and Berlin Falls. Perfection!

On this Safari, you will enjoy comfortable accommodation in a private lodge, awesome game drives and beautiful scenery. Because of the well-trained guides, we are proud to offer an 80% Big 5 success rate on our game drives. All guides are FGASA (Field Guides Association of SA) registered.

Your base will be a lodge just outside Hazyview.
