4 DAY KRUGER PARK OPEN VEHICLE SAFARI

Outlook safaris are available to pick you up at the Outlook Lodge or at your hotel situated within the Johannesburg or Pretoria region.

For guests flying into Nelspruit airport, we advise guests to arrange their flights to arrive around 11h00 am on the morning their safari starts, where your guide will pick you up to start your Kruger Park safari.

Day 1: Johannesburg to Kruger National Park

We depart from Johannesburg between 07h00 and 07h30 am in the morning and make our way to the Kruger National Park, arriving around 12h00 pm. Before entering the Kruger we will stop for lunch in one of the small towns en-route to the park. Arriving at the Kruger Park, you will be transferred into the open vehicle.Our first afternoon will be spent driving inside the Kruger searching for wild animals, accompanied by a professional guide, who gladly divulges information to you, on the parks amazing diversity of wild and plant life.

We get to our first camp in the late afternoon where you check into your accommodation and have enough time to go for a swim, purchase necessary items at the camps shop, or simply take a stroll around the camp to stretch your legs after a long days driving.

Your guide begins preparing the evening meal, situated just outside your chalet, under the stars and served by candlelight. Apart from the cooking your guide is of course available to identify all the nocturnal sounds you hear, and possibly entertain you with some amazing experiences encountered over many years of guiding in Africa. Wine is served and included in evening meals.

Dinner included

Day 2: Kruger National Park

The early morning knock on your door signals the start of your second day in the Kruger. After a cup of coffee and some snacks, you begin your early morning drive. It's still really early in the morning, nice and cool, and a perfect time to spot elusive predators who at this time of the day are still very active.

After a successful morning drive you stop at a picnic spot to enjoy a relaxed breakfast.

After breakfast we continue driving, searching for animals. You will find your guide to be a wealth of knowledge not only concentrating on animals but also identifying birds, trees, and insects while explaining some of the parks fascinating geology.

After a full morning drive, we head back to camp and have a couple of hours to relax during the hottest part of the day, when animals are generally less active and hiding from the midday sun. The camp we use has restaurant facilities so you will be able to purchase lunch.

At approximately 2:30 - 3:00 pm you embark on an afternoon game drive.

Upon your return, your guide will begin preparing your evening meal. Sitting outside on a balmy African night listening to lions roaring in the distance, or the whoop of a hyena is a fantastic experience and one which often brings our guests back to Africa.

Breakfast and Dinner included

Day 3: Kruger National Park

Like clockwork, your guide gently knocks to indicate another early start. As the day before, you start off with a fresh cup of coffee before heading out on the morning drive.

Time spent on game drives increases your chances of seeing unusual and spectacular animals, but we do not only cater to guests wanting to see the best Africa has to offer in terms of the Big 5 (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and buffalo) For us, it truly is all spectacular from the huge elephant's and giraffe down to common antelope such as impala and kudu. Not to mention an amazing diversity of birds.

The privilege of being out in the African bush is not something we take for granted or is blasé about. This passion and dedication to Africa will be evident in your guide's behavior and enthusiasm.

After the morning drive you return to camp and have an opportunity for a midday siesta or just general relaxation time. Kruger's camps are well established with large, old indigenous trees, housing many different bird's reptiles and even bats. In the afternoon you head out again on a drive, returning just before the gates close.

In total you will do about 6-7 hours driving each full day in the Kruger. This allows us enough time to show you many different animals and birds.

Once again your guide cooks your meal out under the stars.

Breakfast and Dinner included

Day 4: Kruger National Park

Safaris are all about early mornings, getting out there and seeing animals. This morning is no exception and whilst you are leaving Kruger today, there is still time to spot some animals as you drive out of the Kruger Park, in the hope of seeing and possibly photographing animals you have not yet seen.

Sadly we depart Kruger and make our way back to Johannesburg. But not before showing you some of South Africa's most spectacular scenery.

The panorama route includes Blyde River Canyon, Three Rondavels, Lisbon Waterfalls and Pilgrims Rest, where you stop for lunch.

After lunch it's a good four hours drive back to Johannesburg and you arrive back at the Outlook Lodge or your hotel around 18h00.
