Bush Walk & Evening Game Drive Safari
Today we explore the Kruger National Park in a custom-built open-sided vehicle which allows for a total wildlife experience – you will not only have time to view game, but also to listen to and smell the African bush and its denizens. The absence of windows and elevated position allow for excellent photographic opportunities. The Orpen/Satara region of the park has the greatest concentration of animals in the whole of Kruger with sightings of the Big Five virtually guaranteed.
You will have a great day of game-viewing and bird-watching in this truly outstanding wildlife paradise. Each day spent in the African bush presents new sightings, incredible encounters and no two days are ever the same making a safari such a rewarding experience.
