Mpumalanga means the “Place of the Rising Sun,” is the first province in South Africa to see the sunrise and all the best Kruger Park safaris begin before sunrise.

Your guide will stop after about 3 hours for breakfast, delicious breakfast packs will be provided by the lodge, after breakfast, we continue the drive.
The Kruger is home to a variety of eco zones, and each one is a habitat for different types of wildlife. During our safari, we visit rivers and watering holes as well as plains and Bushveld regions, all places where wildlife can be seen in abundance. This magnificent park is world famous for its Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Buffalo, and Rhino populations, and on this trip, you have a great chance of seeing them all.
At around noon your guide will stop for lunch at one of the rest camps. Lunch will be on your own account and there will be enough time to do some curio shopping.
