Day 2 of the tour
This morning we enjoy an early morning round of golf on the Hans Merensky Golf Course. Don't be surprised to come across wild game on the fairways and greens here as this course borders the Kruger National Park. After golf your guide will drive you into the Greater Kruger National Park in order to enjoy an afternoon of game viewing in 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. |
Dinner will again be at leisure to enjoy back at your hotel.
