We'll see zebras, elephants, lions and other wild animals on this 3-day safari at Kruger National Park, a spectacular area located between South Africa and Mozambique.

Welcome to South Africa! At the time indicated, we'll pick you up from O. R. Tambo International Airport (Johannesburg airport) or a hotel within a 5-kilometre (3-mile) radius of the terminal. We will journey northwest to Hazyview.

After a 4-hour drive, we'll reach a comfortable lodge in Hazyview, where you can relax after a light lunch. In the evening, we’ll enjoy a sunset in Kruger National Park before returning to the lodge for dinner and rest.

We will wake up before sunrise to begin an unforgettable sunrise safari in Kruger National Park, where we aim to spot the African Big Five. Following a 3-hour safari, a traditional picnic breakfast will be served.

We'll continue the safari, observing rivers and savanna plains. A stop at a campsite in Kruger will allow for bathroom use and lunch at your own expense. We will return to the lodge for an afternoon of relaxation and have dinner included.
