This is a perfect addition to any safari, a game drive, a night drive, and a morning bush walk. Genuine versions of these activities are not available even at the top lodges. The drive exposes you to encounters with many nocturnal creatures. An armed field guide leads the dawn bush walk, as you may come across big game on foot. Explore the smaller creatures and features of the wild up close rather than from a vehicle. A discount will apply if version 2) or 3) as described on Day 1 is booked.

Later this afternoon, depending on the time of year, you will be collected for your sunset safari drive into the KNP, returning later in the evening to have dinner at the lodge. Enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of the bush and connect with nature around you as you relax under the African stars on the lodge’s open deck.

Perhaps you will hear a male lion roar in the night, hyenas yap, screeching monkeys disturbed at slumber, the call of the fiery necked nightjar “good-lord-deliver-us” likened to this prayer repeated again and again, the hippos grunting and shifting in the river.

Have a late evening swim or buy a drink from the bar. The lodge has wifi so you can share your first pictures and messages with friends and family.

Accommodation: Pestana Kruger Lodge

Meals: Dinner (excluding beverages)

Day 2
Morning Bush Walk

Arise early this morning and go for a bush walk in Kruger Park. This is a special time of day as the animals awake.

Up to eight guests are taken to interesting places in the surrounding wilderness areas and along the river banks. The walk itself is relaxed and experienced and armed guides use their knowledge of the bush to explain natural wonders. Two armed field guides accompany you on the walk. They will focus on the things that you will usually not be able to see from a vehicle. By being out on foot, you’ll cover an area more intensely, and you are able to experience nature using all of your senses. If there is any large game in the area, you are more than likely to encounter them and have an exhilarating experience of approaching them on foot. Comfortable shoes must be worn, and clothing should be natural colours.

Kruger is home to an impressive number of species: 336 trees, 49 fish, 34 amphibians, 114 reptiles, 507 birds and 147 mammals. The world-renowned Kruger National Park offers a wildlife experience that ranks with the best in Africa.

Afterwards, return to the lodge for breakfast and then be collected by your guide and re-enter the Kruger Park in a closed 4×4 vehicle on a safari transfer through Kruger National Park to Crocodile Bridge Gate.

This afternoon, check in to your guesthouse in Komatipoort, just a few minutes’ drive from the Crocodile Bridge Gate of the KNP. Enjoy an early dinner.

Depart for the night drive at 7.30 pm in the KNP. This area, the “Southern Circle”, has a reputation for great lion sightings. A Kruger Park field guide will provide interesting commentary about the nocturnal animals that you. You return to the guesthouse at about 10.30pm.
