Park at one of the Southern gates, from where our first exciting
game drive begins. We spend the rest of the afternoon exploring
Big Game Country before settling in at our southern camp site.(D)

After enjoying coffee and rusks we depart our camp at first light.
Today we travel from our Southern Camp all the way up to the Central
Kruger, giving us the opportunity to view the varied landscapes,
ecosystems and abundant wildlife that the Kruger has to offer. The
entire day is spent game viewing, bird watching and stopping off
at the various waterholes en route. After a full day's game viewing,
we relax at our Northern camp enjoying a traditional braai (barbeque)
around the log fire.(B D)
Day 3 - Central Kruger to Private Game Lodge
Up at daybreak, we venture out on our final game drive in the Kruger
Park. We enjoy breakfast at one of the picnic sites before making
our way out of the park, heading for a Private Game Lodge. The rest
of the afternoon is to be spent at leisure, enjoying the facilities
that the lodge has to offer. After a relaxing afternoon, we board
the open safari vehicles and head out on a late afternoon/evening
game drive. Our game drive takes us deep into the African bush,
where we enjoy sundowners and continue our adventure into the night.(B

finer details as we head out on an early morning nature walk. Guided
by our ranger, we learn about animal spoor, bird and tree identification
as well as African bush lore. After breakfast we leave the tranquility
