Safari OverviewThe southern section of the famous Kruger National Park is the most visited part of the game reserve, and with good reason. This is the area where it is the easiest to see all of Africa’s “Big Five” mammals, along with plenty of others and in good numbers, including the very rare and endangered African Wild Dog and the fleet-footed Cheetah. It is also a picturesque part of the park, with rolling hills, classic savannah scenes and riverfront thickets.
This 8 day safari includes two nights each in two wonderful camps in Kruger, but also a 3 day visit to the luxurious Sabi Sands Game Reserve, a 65,000-hectare reserve that shares an unfenced border with Kruger. This area offers extraordinary close encounters and prolific wildlife sightings, particularly of the elusive Leopard. The Sabie and the Sand rivers run through the reserve, which add further dimension to the incredible biodiversity and beauty of this area.
You can be sure to enjoy an exclusive experience guaranteeing an unforgettable time in the African bush!
