Day 2 of the tour
This morning you will have an early start as your guide takes you into the Kruger National Park in one of our comfortable air-conditioned vehicles for a full day of game viewing. You will travel throughout the southern reaches of the Kruger Park and have the opportunity to enjoy one of the world’s finest game sanctuaries.
| The world-renowned Kruger National Park, which sprawls across nearly 20 000 sq kilometres of hot, flattish lowveld terrain in the far northeast of South Africa, ranks among the finest game sanctuaries in the world. Few visitors come away disappointed. The sky is big, the horizons are far and the great expanses of the bushveld remain remarkably unspoilt. All the roads, rest camps and other man-made features only account for about 2 percent of the park's area, the rest is pure wilderness. No other sanctuary in Africa can match the Kruger in the number and variety of its life forms: the savannah plains of the park, the forest and riverine reaches are home to nearly 150 kinds of mammal, including the 'Big 5' (Lion, Elephant, Rhino, Leopard and Buffalo), more than 500 bird species, 112 reptile types (50 of them snakes of one sort or another), 49 of fish, 34 of amphibian, an uncountable diversity of insects, 500 types of tree and vast array of shrubs, grasses and bulbous plants. |
Later in the afternoon you will exit the Kruger Park and travel back to the Kwa-Madwala Game Reserve where you will have some time at leisure to relax before enjoying another fantastic dinner.
