About this tour

Maximum time in the park. Small groups. Big 5 focus. This 3-day safari is all about quality time inside Kruger National Park, with a strong focus on Big 5 sightings and meaningful wildlife encounters.

You’ll stay inside the park at a rest camp well-positioned for excellent game viewing, maximizing your chances to experience wildlife at its most active. This safari includes morning and afternoon drives, as well as one night drive, giving you a full spectrum of wildlife activity - from sunrise to after dark, when the nocturnal world comes alive.
