Dawn in the African bush doesn’t wait for anyone.
Between 5:30 and 6:00 am we sweep through the town, picking up guests still rubbing sleep from their eyes.
If you’re coming from farther afield, we’ll meet you at Perry’s Bridge Trading Post or directly at Numbi or Phabeni Gate, whichever is most convenient for you.
Our morning safaris are timed perfectly. The moment the park gates open, we’re through and for the next five golden hours we drive various roads in the southern reaches of the Kruger, hoping to see predators and much more.
We’ll drift along quiet loops, pause at hilltop lookouts, and spend time at waterholes.
By mid-morning, we’ll pull into a shady picnic spot or a rest camp, if one is in the area, for a lodge pre-packed breakfast and a walk.
By 11:30 the sun is climbing high and the park starts to warm up, limiting the amount of wildlife we’ll see.
We’ll leave the park and drop you at your lodge, with a camera full of photos and stories you’ll be telling for years to come.
