4x4 Off Road Driving Kruger National Park

Before the sun starts beating down in the lush African bushveld, we collect you from your lodges in Hazyview or at the well-known Rendezvous centre if you stay out of town. When the sun has just risen and woken up the wild animals, it is the ideal time to witness the first animal activity of the day. The great predators like leopard, cheetah, wild dogs and hungry lions are just up and ready to hunt before the mid-day sun.

Once you’ve had breakfast or a light snack, it is a great time to visit waterholes and watch the animals come in to clench their thirst before taking on the heat of the day. Our guides are all qualified and have years’ worth of experience in the park. They love nothing more than to share their well of knowledge with you and to make sure that you have the best safari experience possible. We will stop at picnic spots and rest camps throughout the day for breakfast, lunch and restroom breaks. Please bring with sun cream, a hat, sunglasses, comfortable shoes, warm clothing in the winter months and a rain jacket in the summer months. Mineral waters are included on all safaris.

Please note that SANParks require proof of ID if you are a South African citizen, so please keep you ID or Drivers license handy upon entry into the Kruger National Park. Failure to do so may cause that you are charged the International Conservation Fee.

Our 4×4 open vehicles are specially equipped for game drives with canvas roofs to protect you from the beating sun, but we still advise that you wear a hat and sunscreen in summer times, warm jackets in the Wintertime, as well as comfy shoes. We always have mineral waters on our vehicles to quench your thirst. Each vehicle can seat up to 10 people comfortably, but you can also hire an entire vehicle for only a few people on a Private Safari.

These safaris typically start at 5:30 in the morning and end around 16:00, but this is entirely up to the client. Private Vehicle Safaris can be arranged according to the client’s exact requirements. We can arrange for clients to be picked up from various hotels or lodges and, if desired, we will arrange accommodation in the Kruger National Park for the guests and drop them off at their place of accommodation after the safari has concluded. We normally enter the park through the following gates: Orpen, Crocodile Bridge, Malelane, Kruger, Numbi or Phabeni gate.

It is recommended that the safari starts as early as possible, as this is a great time of day for game viewing. Many of the wild animals have just started their search for food and water for the day. In general, animals are more active in the cool early mornings and prefer to wait out the midday heat under shady trees or in their burrows. Private Vehicle Safaris are guided by the guests, so if you know the Kruger National Park and you have a specific route in mind, we will take you where you want to go. In the case of specialised groups, you can tell your guide what it is that you hope to find or see, and your guide will know where the best spots for your request would be.

Breakfast and lunch packs can be arranged by your hotel or lodge and your guide will stop at a picnic spot of your choice or at any of the nearby campsites for breakfast and lunch. Alternatively, you can request to visit a restaurant of your choice at one of the rest camps.

Please note that SANParks require proof of ID if you are a South African citizen, so please keep you ID or Driver's license handy upon entry into the Kruger National Park. Failure to do so may cause you to be charged the International Conservation Fee.

Even though wildlife tends to rest in the midday heat, the advantage of an afternoon safari is that our guides will have information about earlier sightings and where they took place, so we can try to find the most exciting wildlife for you to experience first-hand.

Watering holes are also a popular spot during this time as many animals will be looking to cool down and nothing is more pleasing than watching elephants play around in a river. Our guides will ensure an exciting safari, filled with facts about the animals and birds in the Park, as well as the plant life for those who share an interest in the lush vegetation and age-old trees.

There are different kinds of plant-life in the various areas of the Kruger National Park, and these plants attract different kinds of animals. The later the day gets and the closer it gets for closing time in the Park, the better the chances of sightings become, as the animals become more active as the heat dissipates.

It is also better to go on a morning safari the next day, if you get a chance, as this is the best game viewing time. Please bring with sun cream, a hat, sunglasses, comfortable shoes, warm clothing in the winter months and a rain jacket in the summer months. Mineral waters are included on all safaris.
