Day 10 - Kruger National Park Safaris
Today, we enjoy another full-day game drive to track the iconic
wildlife of Kruger National Park. A local, skilled ranger drives
each Jeep, finding us the best locations to see the different
species' that live here, and pointing out animals whose camouflage
makes them almost impossible to spot. We start by tracking the big
cats, still out from their night spent hunting. The park is also
home to the 'Big Five' (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and
buffalo), all of which we hope to see. There are also many other
species to be seen, large and small, as well as fascinating plants
and colourful birds.
The hotel provides us with a pre-prepared lunch ahead of each
day's game drive, and we return to our hotel at mid-afternoon on
both days. The rest of the day is then free for you to spend at
leisure. You could relax in the spa or by the swimming pool, or
take advantage of the nature reserve by the hotel and enjoy some
extra game viewing at your leisure. A fascinating variety of bird
life can be spotted, and bush walks can be organised by the hotel
(payable locally).
