Day 1: Kruger National Park  (D)
Depart Perry's Bridge, Hazyview at 12h00 and travel through the Kruger National Park via the Paul Kruger Gate and Skukuza to Satara.  We make a short stop at Skukuza Rest Camp to buy drinks and snacks (own account). We head north, game viewing en route to your camp, arriving at around 17h00.  This drive to your camp site is a game drive en route as game viewing begins literally as you enter the Kruger National Park. We use camps such as Satara, Letaba or Olifants in the northern part of the Kruger. Accommodation is in a 4-bedroomed house with lounge and kitchen, where most rooms are en-suite.  Your chef will prepare dinner at around 19h00.

Day 2: Kruger National Park  (BD)
An early morning wake-up with coffee or tea and homemade rusks before departing for the first of our exciting morning open vehicle game drives. The early hours of the morning offer the best game viewing and photographic opportunities. We travel up to Letaba for a visit to the educational Elephant Hall where children will see an impressive ivory collection, which includes the tusks of the legendary 'magnificent seven'.  Enrich your knowledge on the elephant's social structure, distribution and ecology, morphology and physiology, origin and evolution as well as their relationship with humans. After visiting the museum, your chef will serve a hearty brunch at the picnic site before we make our way back to camp to escape the heat of the midday sun.  We head out for a late afternoon game drive returning to camp just before gate closing times, when a traditional South African braai (BBQ) will be prepared by your chef for dinner. If the weather conditions are right, your guide will teach you a little about our beautiful African night skies.

Day 3: Kruger National Park  (BD)
After another exciting morning of game viewing, we return to camp for a hearty brunch prepared by your chef followed by a siesta. As the wildlife is most active during the early mornig and late afternoons, our game drives also follow this natural rhythem of the bush and just like the wildlife, midday is the perfect time to retire into the shade for siesta-time.  At around 17h00 we board a Parks Board open vehicle for a night safari using spotlights to track the game. Return to camp at around 20h00 for a traditional South African braai (BBQ) prepared by your chef.

Day 4: Kruger National Park  (B)
Another early morning game drive followed by tea/coffee and homemade rusks. Breakfast is served back at camp before check out and returning to Hazyview arriving at approximately 12h00 (giving clients time to connect with the Hazyview - Johannesburg shuttle if required).

Thompsons Africa has offices that border the Kruger National Park and from here we can arrange a myriad of fun activities for the whole family.  There is so much to see and do in the area surrounding the Kruger Park, from the scenic splendour of the Panorama Route, to cultural village experiences, elephant interactions and hot air balloon safaris.  See our day tours that we run from Hazyview and Malelane. 

Throughout Southern Africa Thompsons have a range of accommodation for holiday makers who may wish to extend their holiday, and our Internet Consultants will know just the right accommodation options to suggest for families in all of these areas. 

We can easily help you to extend your vacation - why not add on two nights in Sun City (two hours from Johannesburg).  Sun City is an explosion of fun for children - from the 'Valley of Waves' to 'Kamp Kwena', the 'Lost City', extravaganza shows and more - and there's loads for mom and dad as well.

Perhaps a few nights in Cape Town, where we have a myriad of accommodation options for you to choose from and a full range of day tours as well, which can be taken on a private basis.  Tack on a few nights along the Garden Route, which is a wonderful self-touring destination, with a wealth of activities for the whole family, from a Primate Sanctuary, where you have the chance to literally walk in the tree canopy and view rescued primates, a free-flight Bird Eden, Elephant interaction, the underground caverns of the Cango Caves, dolphin viewing at sea and many beautiful beaches.
