Summary
For guests who have only half -a-day available or wish to spend the afternoon through to early sunset in the wild savanna of Kruger National Park, this is the perfect tour for you. For the African Safarra, the imagination runs wild with scenes of a copper sun sinking low, painting the sky with all its glory and kissing the ancient land good night. To Safari over sunset is to watch an alternative world come to life and share in its secret splendour. As the copper Sun and its warm orange rays fade to starlight, our sunset Safaris head out onto the African plain in the late afternoon. The time of day when the adventurers and traders of old Africa would outspan and plan their camp for the evening. From the morning chorus it prepares for the soft eerie whisper of the African night. A time of day to go in search of thirsty elephants and lazy leopards. When lions slowly begin to rous and open their eyes and frogs, crickets and nightjars save their breath for the evening symphony. Sunset Safari is a time between two worlds, the golden hour of portraits and still life’s. The comedy and drama of its day begin to make way for the thrill of its night. On your Sunset Safari our guides will read off the morning storyboard and re-embellish the days events, anticipating the games next steps. It’s a time of day to visually and imaginatively inspire story and tale from the bush and its wildlife.

Guests will either self drive to the designated Kruger Park Gate or have their accommodation transfer them after lunch for gate arrival at 13h30. To ensure that our guests get the most out of their safari drive we recommend departing from either Phabeni or Numbi gate. These gates are located within 10km of Hazyview being the closest main town. We would like to recommend that our guests book and pay for their Safaria package inclusive of Kruger National Park Conservation & Entrance fees (International R304 or RSA Local R74). These fees can be added onto your Safaria fee. Our guests are kindly requested to pre-sign the Safaria Indemnity form as well as provide ID to their resort or lodge in advance so that we can ensure a quick and easy access through the Parks gates on the morning your safari. We will enter the gates around 14h00 and your professional guides will introduce you to the splendour of the Kruger National Park and read the tracks and signs to pick up on the days bush activity. Being a 4 hour drive we will focus on the Southern section of the park and spend time in and around the Skukuza and Pretoriouskop areas. We will stop at one of these camps for a refresher/comfort break and finally make our way back to the designated collection gate for 17h30 to 18h00 dependant on time of year. The adventure of Safari is often unpredictable so we advise that our guests kindly bring with them the following: Camera Binoculars A good bush hat for summer months or warm beanie in winter Sunglasses Comfortable shoes We don't recommend for heavily pregnant women or persons recovering from recent back or hip injuries/surgery. What to Wear: Months: September to April Cool functional attire preferably in dull darker shades to create uniformity with vehicle and not stand out visually to game species. Always remember a good hat as well as sunscreen. Midday temperature Summer s can reach upward of 40 degrees and afternoons can experience thunder showers. All vehicles are equipped with blankets and waterproof ponchos for our guests. Winter Months: May to August During the winter months we typically experience blue skies with a daily average temperature of 20 - 25 degrees celcius. Early morning and late afternoons are cooler and we recommend warmer attire as this is amplified when traveling on an open safari vehicle. We do provide blankets but long pants, jacket and beanie are recommended.
