Is two days really enough time to see the Big Five?

While nature offers no guarantees, our 2 day itinerary is designed to maximize your chances by focusing on high-density wildlife areas. By staying inside the park, we ensure you are on the road at first light during the "golden hour" for predator activity. With three dedicated game drives in just 48 hours, you have a very high probability of checking off several of the Big Five.

What time do we return to Johannesburg on Day 2?

We aim to have you back at OR Tambo International Airport or your designated drop-off point between 16h00 and 18h00. This timing is designed to help you avoid the worst of the evening traffic while still allowing for a full morning safari and a relaxed breakfast before exiting the park.

Since dinner isn't included, what are the dining options?

Kruger rest camps feature licensed restaurants (like Mugg & Bean or Cattle Baron) that offer a variety of meals ranging from light snacks to full steaks. Most camps also have a well-stocked shop if you prefer to grab something light. Budgeting roughly R200–R350 for dinner per person is usually sufficient for a comfortable meal and a drink.

Can I join this tour if I am traveling alone?

Absolutely! Our budget safaris are popular with solo travelers. While our pricing is typically based on two people sharing a chalet, we do offer a single supplement for solo guests who prefer the privacy of their own en-suite room. It’s a safe and social way to experience the Kruger with a professional guide.
