Summary
Kurt Safari was one of the first operators to introduce full-day safaris on our 4-day safari tours. This gives clients a chance to see a larger part of the Kruger and different areas, compared to short 3-hour safaris which must remain close to the camps, resulting in driving the same areas on every safari. Spending a full day in the KNP can sound tiring, but the guides stop regularly at rest camps and lookout points.

Day 3Full Day open vehicle safari in the Kruger National Park (Breakfast & Dinner included)
Activities Included
Game driveToday we depart before sunrise, Hazyview’ is situated close to 2 entry gates to Kruger; this gives you the opportunity to see different areas of the Kruger Park and the guide will focus on finding different wildlife that might have alluded you on the previous safaris. We will visit various water holes, lookout points, rivers, and have our pre-packed breakfasts at a local picnic venue. After that, we will visit bird hides and look for the mighty Big 5 again. Where we stop for breakfast and lunch depends on the guide’s choice and the direction he chooses to take in the KNP on the day; seasons change, and this also changes which areas we spend more time on safari. We return to the lodge (between 3:30 & 4 PM) for a swim, relaxing and catching up on the last few days of pictures and experiences. But be sure to get to bed early, as you will have to get up before sunrise again for your final safari the next day.
