03 days Kruger Quickie Safari

The Kruger Quickie safari is designed for those who are budget conscious and wish to spend only 2 nights exploring what the Kruger National Park has to offer.

This popular safari is the quickest and most affordable way to see South Africa's greatest game reserve... low on your budget, high on safari adventures!

Ever heard the guttural sound of a lion’s roar as you lie safely in bed at night? It touches your very soul. It’s one reason you need to come with us to the magnificent Kruger National Park, climb into our open safari vehicles with our registered, experienced field guides, and follow the spoor of the Big Five. It’s the reason you’ll stay for two nights at a rest camp in the Park, in the hope you’ll hear that unforgettable sound; but if not lion, perhaps a leopard or jackal? Our three-day trip into Kruger – leaving from Johannesburg – is the perfect way to experience the bush, for we rise with the animals, rest when they do in the middle of the day, and venture out again when they begin their hunt for food. Our open vehicles provide the very best photographic vantage points, and have no barriers between you and the bush. In that way, you really feel the wildness, and indeed, the peace and serenity of being out there, away from the City stresses. Apart from the Big Five, Kruger is home to 147 different mammal, reptile and bird species. We begin the search for them from the moment we drive into the Park...and with our professional guides, your chances of a memorable sighting are greatly increased.

Day 1:
3_day_kruger_quickieDeparting from Johannesburg at 08h30 a.m. we drive along a scenic route to the entrance of the Kruger National Park. Here we transfer to a specially designed open safari vehicle. Game viewing begins as soon as we enter the gates, and we look for giraffe, zebra and various antelope species on our way to the camp, where we arrive by sunset. Dinner may be enjoyed in the camp restaurant, or if weather permits your guide may prepare a traditional South African "braai" (barbecue). Fall asleep to the sound of hippos snorting or lions roaring in the distance.

Day 2:
We rise before the sun and embark on a morning game drive in the Kruger National Park in search of the big 5 - lion, leopard, buffalo, elephant and rhino. These are known to be the 5 most dangerous animals to hunt, but we get to view them up close from the safety of an open safari vehicle. While looking for wildlife we visit waterholes, lookout points and beautiful picnic spots, stopping at regular intervals so you can stretch your legs and enjoy some refreshments. On some safaris, we visit the waterhole where the famous Battle at Kruger video was filmed. After breakfast at a picnic site in the bush, we return to the camp around lunchtime, where you can spend the hot midday hours relaxing at the pool, browsing through the curio shop or watching animals from the deck. In the afternoon we head out on another game drive and return to the camp at sunset for dinner. As an optional extra, you can embark on a sunset/night drive on an open safari vehicle equipped with spotlights, conducted by one of the Kruger Park's rangers. Dinner will be enjoyed in the camp restaurant, or may take the form of a traditional South African 'braai' (barbecue), weather permitting.

Day 3:
This morning we pack up early and head out on a final early morning game drive in search of game that may have eluded us thus far.
