Kurt Safari takes pride in offering unique and extended safari experiences in the vast Kruger National Park, covering over 2,000,000 hectares.
By introducing full-day safaris, we provide our clients with the opportunity to explore a larger part of the Kruger, enhancing their chances of encountering a wide range of wildlife. Unlike shorter 3-hour safaris that are limited to areas near the camps, our extended safaris allow us to traverse different grasslands and ecological zones, resulting in diverse wildlife sightings.
On our 3-day safaris, approximately 80% of our clients have the incredible opportunity to encounter all members of the Big 5 – lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, and rhinoceros. This remarkable success rate showcases the rich biodiversity of the Kruger National Park and our commitment to delivering outstanding safari experiences.
To ensure our guests have a comfortable and enjoyable stay, we utilize Umbhaba Eco Lodge and Hazyview Sun as our accommodation options in Hazyview. These lodges are privately owned, offering high-quality accommodations with air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and exceptional meals. Both lodges are conveniently located just 10 kilometers from the Phabeni gate, granting easy access to Kruger’s premier wildlife area. We prioritize the comfort and satisfaction of our guests throughout their safari adventures.
