Kruger National Park Afternoon Sunset Safari Tour

About this activity

Travelling with Safaria is a personal experience. We realise that you may only have one day and you're a little uncertain of what to expect, who to trust and who will offer you that experience you've always dreamed of. We understand this and so we have established our business on personal engagement, doing what we say we will and offering you the finest guides, vehicles and personalised experiences in Kruger. Our Safaris are all about you and helping you realise your Safari dream to reality, just have a look at what our clients. All our Safaris, be it half or full day are all designed around you! Our "Safari Style" is bespoke and focusses around your specific areas of interest with the intention to create and experience and not just chase the game. We establish your own personal wonder-filled storyboard that will share the Savanna from birds to mammals, insects to trees, old ancient bush wisdoms and everything in between. Its your Safari, its your experience. We just help you tell it!

Itinerary

  1. Kruger National Park

    6 hours

    Our afternoon Sunset Safari gathers from 12h30pm to depart by 13h00pm.

    To ensure that our guests get the most out of their Safari we recommend accessing from either Paul Kruger, Phabeni or Numbi gate or Malelane Gate.

    We will enter the gates around 13h00 and your professional guide will introduce you to the splendour of the Kruger National Park and read the tracks and signs to pick up on the day's bush activity.

    Being a 5 to 6 hour drive we will focus on the Southern section of the park and spend time in and around the Skukuza and Pretoriouskop areas. We will stop at one of these camps for a refresher/comfort break and finally make our way back to the designated collection gate for 17h30 to 18h00 dependent on time of year. You can expect to see Elephant, Buffalo, Hippo, Giraffe, Zebra, a variety of antelope and perhaps Lion and Leopard.
