Midway through your journey, you’ll be taken to the elegant Old Drift Lodge, a place where the Zambezi River and surrounding wildlife become a personal part of your stay. This part of the tour includes game drives, river safaris, and walking safaris.

Your adventure begins as you arrive at Victoria Falls Airport, where a scheduled road transfer whisks you away to The Elephant Camp, a luxurious retreat surrounded by nature. After arriving, you’ll have time to settle into your elegant suite, which has a private deck, a plunge pool, and sweeping views of the African bush.
As the sun begins to set, you’ll head to the Zambezi River for a sunset cruise. From the water, you can watch hippos and crocodiles swimming, elephants gathering along the banks, and you’ll have a front-row seat to watch the sunset, with a refreshing drink in hand, taking in the peaceful sounds of nature. You’ll then return to camp for a gourmet dinner under the stars.
(All meals and drinks are included at The Elephant Camp)
You’ll start your day with a visit to one of the world’s most iconic natural wonders, the Victoria Falls. A guided tour will take you along the best viewpoints, where you’ll get to experience the sheer power of the cascading water and feel the cooling mist on your skin. After soaking in the magic of the Falls, you’ll enjoy a leisurely lunch at the Lookout Café, an incredible dining spot perched on the edge of the Batoka Gorge, and famous for its panoramic views of the rushing Zambezi below.
In the afternoon, you can get your adrenaline pumping with a Victoria Falls Canopy Tour, an exciting series of zip lines and rope bridges that take you through the lush rainforest, giving you a unique perspective of the Falls and the surrounding landscape. If you prefer a more relaxed experience, you can instead spend your afternoon at a wildlife conservation, go on a guided bush walk, or visit a cultural village.
As the day winds down, you’ll return to The Elephant Camp for another exquisite meal and a peaceful night’s rest.
(All meals and drinks are included at The Elephant Camp & Old Drift Lodge)
After waking up to the sounds of the African bush and having a hearty breakfast, you’ll get to enjoy a morning activity of your choice. Whether it’s a game drive, an elephant conservation experience, or simply a slow morning on your private deck, this is your time.
Later in the day, you will be taken on a scenic road transfer to Old Drift Lodge, a stunning safari lodge set along the banks of the Zambezi River.
You’ll be welcomed with refreshing drinks before settling into your luxurious tented suite, complete with a private plunge pool.
In the afternoon, you’ll set off on a new adventure, choosing between a boat safari on the Zambezi, a game drive in Zambezi National Park, or an intimate walking safari, where expert guides will teach you about the region’s flora and fauna. After an exciting day, you’ll unwind with a delicious dinner overlooking the river before retreating to your suite for a restful night.
(All meals and drinks are included)
You’ll wake up to golden sunrise views and after breakfast, you’ll spend the morning as you please, choosing from several activities on offer. One activity you can enjoy is a morning safari in Zambezi National Park. The park is home to elephants, lions, buffalos, and a rich variety of bird species. Whether by open safari vehicle, boat, or on foot, this experience will give you a deeper connection to the wild.
After a leisurely lunch at the lodge, you can again choose an afternoon activity that suits your spirit of adventure. Perhaps a relaxing river cruise to watch wildlife from the water’s edge, or another exhilarating game drive through the park.
As the sun dips below the horizon, you will enjoy your final dinner at the lodge.
After a final sunrise in the bush, there’s time for an indulgent breakfast before your scheduled road transfer back to the Victoria Falls Airport.

Questions?
Many people don’t see the point in driving through a bushveld looking for animals, but there’s so much more to it. wild animals are seen as a nuisance in most inhabited areas, but if you’ve never seen the magic of animals in their natural habitat, untouched by humans, you’ve been missing out! looking at zoo animals in their enclosures might be considered nice, because you’re almost 100% guaranteed that you’ll see them, but that’s not how they behave in the wild. nothing beats the thrill of finding a pride of lions laying in the shade, or walking across the road right in front of you, and once you’ve felt the reverberations of an elephant’s trumpet through your bones, you’ll be hooked! our clients often come back for more, because you never know what you’re going to see next…
Every single one of our guides have a passion for the kruger park. we love waking up every morning and meeting new people, never mind sharing our love for the bushveld with them. we are highly experienced and have heaps of knowledge about the fauna and flora in the knp at our clients’ disposal. one of our best characteristics must be that we focus on small groups to give each safari trip the best chance of seeing the best sights that the knp has to offer. our safaris depart any day of the week to suit our clients’ busy schedules and will accommodate all your needs as best we can. visit our website for more information on our company…
We operate from hazyview and will collect you from any of the lovely holiday resorts, lodges or nearby locations. our vehicles depart at different times in different seasons… for full day or morning safaris, we leave at 5am in october to march and at 5h30am in april to september. for afternoon safaris, we leave at 13h00 pm in the afternoons. most of the wildlife in the park prefers hiding in the shade during the hot afternoons, so we highly recommend joining us for the earlier safaris to get the most out of your trip.
Anything to do with the word “game” whilst on a safari—like game drives or looking for game—all refers to wild animals in safari context. you might also encounter “game” on the menus of some traditional restaurants, which basically means that you’re ordering wild buck meat, or even warthog.
Even though the knp falls in a malaria area, most foreigners are pleasantly surprised at how few mosquitoes are actually encountered whilst on a safari. these mosquitoes breed in water, and even in the middle of our rainy season in december, we don’t consider them to be a relentless menace. despite what you might have been told, mosquitoes are not a plague in the knp and although we are always cautious about malaria, the locals in and around the knp do not run around with repellents all the time.
If you’re really worried and consider yourself or anyone joining you on the safari to be particularly susceptible to this rare disease, be sure to consult your gp. there are many places in the park where you can buy mosquito repellent containing deet—this is the most vital ingredient in insect repellents as it has been proven to repel the malaria-carrying mosquitoes effectively.
Even though the kruger park is basically a giant protected bushveld and sparsely populated, there are many little “towns” and camps where you can find anything from grocery stores, souvenir stores, petrol stations and much more.
As mentioned before, there are many places in the knp where we can stop over for lunch where you can buy take-away food or choose to have a meal at the various restaurants. we usually have lunch at skukuza, but this is not set in stone.
Two words: comfortable and practical. seeing as you’re going to be driving around for the majority of the time on your safari experience, it is advisable that you wear clothes that are not too tight and not too hot. winters can be cold, so check the forecast beforehand, but summers are the opposite—just take a jacket with you in case it gets chilly, and stay away from high heels, ladies! we might stop on top of rocky mountains to give you an in-person taste of the spectacular views in the knp. trust me, it’s spine-chilling raw beauty.
You’ll be surprised at the true meaning of this term—it actually refers to the five most feared animals in the bush. they are extremely dangerous to hunt on foot and also rather rare. the big 5 consists of african lions, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino. it really is a tourist attraction and many safari companies utilise this term as a major marketing strategy.
We cannot guarantee that there will be sightings of all five animals in the big 5, but we can guarantee that we will do our best to find them. elephants are massive, this is true, but in the lush untouched bushveld of the kruger, if they don’t want to be seen, they can easily disappear behind the trees mere meters away from you. they tend not to be too shy, unlike leopards. rhinos are extremely scarce, but our guides know where their usual grazing spots are, and a pride of lions would attract so much attention that our radios would notify us if there’s a sighting nearby. nevertheless, you are guaranteed to see a very diverse variety of animals in the kruger national park.
Children under 8 are more than welcome on privately hired open vehicles, yes. this is purely out of consideration for our other clients who do not have children and might not have the patience for their unique outlook and excitement about each wild animal we encounter. all children under 12 have discounted safari rates, as well as half-price conservation fees to enter the kruger national park.
You can visit our website to view the current prices for our safaris, make a booking online to receive an invoice, and then make an online payment before the safari takes place, or contact kurt safari for any enquiries you might have regarding other payment options.
I cannot even begin to list the most amazing experiences we’ve had whilst on safaris in the knp! there are too many to count, each encounter very different but equally remarkable. if you consider the size of the knp and how many animals call it their home, you can only begin to imagine the things we’ve seen—from a ride of lionesses to the birth of a brand-new baby giraffe. each time our jaws drop at the splendour of mother nature. you will have to come and see it for yourself.
Placing yourself in the middle of a nature reserve where there are numerous predators and dangerous animals could sound pretty intimidating, but rest assured, kurt safari guides all have in-depth knowledge about the behaviour of these animals and would never put your life in danger. elephants can be aggressive if they have young ones to protect and even lone elephant bulls have charged at cars that don’t know when to back away, but obtaining injuries from wild animals whilst on a safari is very rare and you need not be worried—just enjoy the ride.
