*Encompassing more than 2 000 000 hectares, the Kruger National Park is a vast expanse of natural untouched ground. Kurt Safari proudly stands as one of the pioneers in introducing the full-day Kruger Park safari to guests. This allows our clients to explore a more extensive section of the Kruger compared to brief 3-hour safaris that are confined to the proximity of the camps, often leading to a repetitive experience as clients stay in the same area each day. The extended duration of a full-day safari significantly improves the likelihood of encountering a diverse range of wildlife, providing an enriched wildlife experience.
*80% of our clients on 3-day safaris encounter all the Big 5.

What To Bring
Important Note
We prefer to use lodges and hotels outside of the Kruger Park not only because there is a bigger variety of accommodation available, but also because it’s only a 10-15 minute drive to the nearest entry gate. All the accommodation venues are privately owned.
Clients flying out of OR Tambo International Airport on the last day of the trip should please not book their flight earlier than 20:00 pm for Domestic Flights and 21:00 pm for International Flights as one cannot always guarantee on-time arrival at the airport.
Clients should arrive in Johannesburg the day before their tour starts to avoid missing the shuttle to the Kruger National Park.
(Lunch & Dinner Included)
Guests will be collected from the various lodges and hotels within a 5 km radius of the OR Tambo International Airport between 6:30 am and 6:45 am, and then from the OR Tambo International Airport shuttle and bus Terminal between 6:45 and 7:00 am. We depart for Hazyview at 7:15 am. Please do not land after 9 am, as our Night Safari departs at 4:30 pm.
Clients have the option of flying directly into Skukuza Airport, or to Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport, and be collected by a Kurt Safari guide at no additional cost.
Please confirm your pickup details the day before the tour by sending an email to online@kurtsafari.com.
We will travel directly to the lodge in Hazyview and arrive between 11:30 am and 12:00 pm. Guests will have time to relax, unpack and enjoy a light lunch, and there is also time to go for a swim or for a walk around the beautiful lodge or its walking trails. We depart at around 16:00 pm for a Sunset/Night Safari in the Kruger National Park before returning to the lodge at approximately 19:30 or 20:00 pm for a scrumptious dinner, and a good night’s rest.
(Breakfast & Dinner Included. Lunch will be on your own account)
All of our safaris start before the sun rises, as the early morning hours are the best time for spotting wildlife, especially predators. We enter the gates not knowing what to expect and the guide will choose the best areas of the park to explore on this morning’s game drive. During this morning’s adventure, we will keep a look out for all sorts of animals, including the Big 5.
The lodge will arrange breakfast packs and after about 3 hours of driving, your guide will stop for breakfast and bathroom break, and there is also a chance to get a coffee. We then continue with the safari. The Kruger Park is home to a variety of eco zones and each one has a different kind of wildlife to see. During the safari, we will visit rivers and watering holes as well as the vast open plains and the park’s Bushveld regions.
We then stop for lunch at a rest camp, where this meal will be on your account. While here there will be time to do some curio shopping or to indulge in a cold beer! The guide will then continue with the safari, as you make your way back towards the lodge. We arrive back at between 15:30 and 16:00 pm, with enough time to relax, swim and have a great dinner.
(Breakfast Included)
The last safari and again we depart the lodge before sunrise, we will have another packed breakfast at one of the rest camps or picnic sites. The guide will focus on animals we couldn’t find on the first 2 safaris and hoping for lion and leopard as they are most active in the early mornings, The Kruger National Park has 148 mammal species and over 500 bird species.
After a short breakfast and coffee stop, we will continue with the safari, returning to the lodge at around 11 am.
Here you say goodbye to your guide and freshen up before the journey back to Johannesburg. Clients are collected by the shuttle at around 11:30 am, and we return to Johannesburg OR Tambo International’s shuttle terminal, and lodges within a 5 km radius of the airport, between 17:00 – 18:00 pm.
NB: Clients flying out of OR Tambo International Airport on the last day of their safari should please not book their flight any earlier than 19:00 pm for Domestic and 20:00 pm for International flights, in case of travel delays on the N4.
