4 day Kruger Park & Panorama Route

Day 2:

After breakfast we depart for Kruger gate and travel up to Skukuza for our first African safari, enjoying game viewing from the gate to Skukuza camp in our microbus.

As the headquarters of the Kruger Park, Skukuza has become a little town in the middle of the bush. Its 1400 residents and thousands of daily visitors enjoy wonderful views through Sycamore Figs and Natal Mahoganies. Situated on the banks of the Sabie River, the camp’s activities and facilities are diverse, as are the area’s plant and wildlife. Accommodation options include campsites, 21 furnished safari tents, semi luxury bungalows, cottages and 4 guesthouses.  The camp also features a doctor, a shop, a bank, a post office, a library, a museum, restaurants and a cafeteria with decks overlooking the river.

At Skukuza we leave the bus and luggage near reception, collect our game viewer (Open safari vehicle) and travel south searching for the Big 5. This is another long day but an exciting one so have your camera ready and remember a hat, sun screen and binoculars. In the afternoon we return to Skukuza and check in the out accommodation. Explore the camp and visit the shop until time for dinner at the Cattle Baron under African stars.

Day 3:

Today is a full day game viewing in our Open safari vehicle. We have breakfast at a picnic spot somewhere in the bush so we depart as soon as the gate is open to perhaps meet the predators out early on the hunt. The picnic spots are not fenced so expect wildlife taking a walk through while we have breakfast. I suggest the South African “Bush Toastie” done on the fire. The safari is again a long one but this is your opportunity to see as much wildlife as possible.  We return to our camp in the afternoon Many people dream of this safari so this is your turn to learn of the African bush and experience it. We have dinner in Skukuza.

Day 4:

Kruger Park to Johannesburg:

Today it’s time to leave this amazing place towards home with your last game drive starting early and a breakfast at the Cattle Baron. After breakfast we have time to pack our bags and depart at 09H00 for a last game drive to Phabeni gate near Hazyview. We should be back in Johannesburg at 17H00 for your drop-off at the airport or hotel. Lunch will be at Alzu.
