8D Kruger & Swaziland Experience,
Adventure in South Africa & Swaziland
Johannesburg • Blyde River Canyon • Timbavati Game Reserve • Kruger National Park • Mkhaya Game Reserve
Kruger National Park and the adjoining private reserves of Greater Kruger National Park form one of Africa’s finest wildlife areas, offering superb viewing opportunities all year round. In one of the first national parks to be established in Africa, the custodians of Kruger faced tragedy, triumph and hardship, as they have strived to protect a pristine wilderness region that is sanctuary to over 700 species of mammals, reptiles and birds. We spend 3 nights in a private game lodge in Timbavati Game Reserve, part of Greater Kruger National Park, which boasts a similar range of animals to those found in the park proper. These include the ‘Big Five’, but the private reserves offer more opportunities for varied and close-up encounters.
Zebras
With open 4WD vehicles and a maximum of 9 people in each, there is ample space to observe the many different species as they interact with each other and their environment. Keen photographers also have the chance to take those special shots of unexpected and sometimes dramatic wildlife interactions, as well as of peaceful bushveld scenes. The tour spends one night in Hazyview, a base from where we explore the impressive Blyde River Canyon and visit Bourke’s Luck Potholes, as well as enjoy views of the Three Rondavels and the vista from God’s Window. We also visit a local Shangaan village, where we gain an insight into their unique way of life.
