We depart from the lodge at around 3:30 pm for a sunset/nocturnal safari in the Kruger National Park. The sun sets early in the winter months, which means you will have a longer night safari.

All safaris start before sunrise, the best part of the day, not knowing what to expect. After a short drive, we enter the park gates. Your guide will know which areas are the best to find the wildlife, including the Big 5 and plains game. This is the finest time of the day to see predators. The lodge will arrange breakfast packs and your guide will stop after about 3 hours for breakfast, a bathroom break and a chance to get a coffee. We then continue with your safari. Kruger offers a variety of ecozones and each one has a different range of wildlife. We visit rivers and watering holes as well as plains and bushveld regions. We stop for lunch at a rest camp, where this meal will be for your own account. You have time to do some curio shopping or enjoy a cold beer! The guide will then continue with the safari heading towards the lodge. We arrive back between 3:30 - 4:30 pm, with enough time to relax, swim and have a great dinner.
