This adventure accentuates an authentic African safari experience from start to finish. After pick up from your Johannesburg hotel by our professional driver guide, head east to spectacular Mpumalanga (“Place Where the Sun Rises”) via Nelspruit and White River. Enter the world famous Kruger National Park and spend the afternoon looking for the Big Five.  This park has more recorded species of wildlife than any other African game reserve.   Return to the hotel in the late afternoon with the smells of traditional South African cuisine filling the air.
Protea Hotel Kruger Gate or similar - dinner, bed and breakfast

Day 3

Enjoy breakfast before you again enter the Park for a full day of game viewing activity.  Your guide will endeavour to spoil you with sightings of the Big Five, general game and prolific bird life.  Stop at one of the rest camps for lunch (not included).  Spend the rest of the afternoon in the park.  There is nothing very distinctive about the topography of the park except in the northern reaches where nine of Africa’s major ecosystems meet and merge.  Vegetation is mainly bushveld, varying from park-like grasslands to dense bush, especially in the rainy season.  You will have many opportunities to capture your experience on camera.
