Safari Highlights
Outstanding scenery
Interesting rural countryside
Cultural interaction
Plenty of wild-life viewing
The Kruger National Park is one of South Africa's main landmarks and offers an exciting wilderness experience. The sight of elephant, lion, rhino, leopard, buffalo, etc. in their natural habitat is always a thrill. The park is the second largest in South Africa with a south to north span of more than 380 kilometres and has a vast selection of animal species. The evenings are particularly rewarding when you hear the sounds of Africa from the camps. We combine this treasure with another, less known, one - in the Waterberg Mountains and adjacent areas sporting a highveld and savannah like climate.
