Our 3 Day Explores Lodge safari is based in a small, simple, naturally luxurious and authentic safari camp that pays homage to the days when exploring the African wilderness was a pioneering adventure.
The Kruger National Park is one of the world’s premier nature reserves, and you will spend a significant amount of time exploring it during this three-day safari.
This safari allows clients to see more of the Kruger and different areas.
A full day in the Kruger National Park may sound exhausting, but the guides make frequent stops at rest stops and lookout points. As you travel through different grasslands and ecological zones, you will have a better chance of seeing more wildlife.
Your four-day itinerary will include a sunset / night safari on day 1, 2 full-day open vehicle safaris on day 2 and 3, and a morning safari in Kruger National Park on day 4.
On 4-day safaris, your chances are very good to see all of the Big 5 – lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and buffalo.
The Kruger National Park is home to 148 mammal and 500 bird species. So there’s a lot to see and photograph.
