A spellbinding experience awaits you this morning. Head out to explore Kruger National Park, often thought of as the world’s largest wildlife zoo. Wake up early in the morning, before sunrise and jump into a safari jeep with a specialized wildlife ranger-guided and drive over to Kruger Park for your very first safari experience. You will start driving visiting various water holes, lookout points & rivers. You will have your breakfast packed by the lodge at a local rest camp/picnic venue, after which thrilling game drive continues and, like completing a wildlife bingo, you will try to spot all of Africa's highly sought-after Big Five: elephant, lion, rhino, leopard and buffalo. You will make two stops during the day, one for breakfast (packed breakfast by the lodge; included) and another for lunch (not included), at different rest camps throughout the safari. That way you will be able to take advantage of your time in the game reserve to the fullest and make sure you don’t miss any animal you were longing to see in its natural habitat. You will be driven back to the lodge in the late afternoon, at around 4:00 pm. The rest of the day is free for you to spend at leisure until dinner is served.
