Spend 6 days admiring the splendid South African landscape on this Kruger National Park safari combined with a visit along the Panorama Route. See the famous Big 5, enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the wild, and take in exceptional views.
Start this exciting tour in Johannesburg before you travel to Kruger National Park with your group. This is one of the top things to do on any trip to South Africa and shows off the best of the country. Expect undisturbed nature and a raw look into the wild - from the safety of your Kruger guided tours.
The first couple of days are spent exploring the park, viewing the many wild animals in Kruger National Park and soaking in the serenity of the bush. Then, enjoy a couple of free days to explore more of the park, or just laze by the pool of your safari lodge.
No trip to Kruger National Park would be complete without a campfire, and that’s exactly what you’ll get on your last night.
Once you’ve seen all there is to see on the Kruger safari tours, it’ll be time to say goodbye to the park and its untamed inhabitants. Before the trip ends back in Joburg, there’ll be a day to explore the stunning Panorama Route. View top attractions like Blyde River Canyon, Three Rondavels, and Bourke’s Luck Potholes.
If wide-open spaces, free-roaming wildlife, and picturesque views are your idea of a dream vacation, then this tour is exactly what you need. With most of the Kruger National Park prices included in the tour price, you’ll only pay for optional extra game drives. Join a group tour to explore the Kruger and make millions of memories.
