The world renowned Kruger National Park in South Africa is one of the finest big game territories that promises 'adrenaline-racing' wildlife encounters. The Kruger Park has 'shone' in the lime-light most recently due to an incredible wildlife sighting of a battle between a pride of lions and a crocodile over a buffalo calf - this amateur video footage, dubbed the 'Battle at Kruger', was taken whilst on a Thompsons Kruger Wildlife Tour. The Battle At Kruger is the hottest download ever on YouTube!  Come and experience your own special encounters with Africa's wildlife and capture your own treasured memories.

The Kruger National Park is one of life's 'must-do' experiences. So if you want a more basic back to nature adventure, or a luxury safari, or if you would prefer a self-drive holiday within Kruger.  Thompsons Africa are specialists in day tours, adventure activities, packaged holidays, guided overland tours in and around the Kruger National Park and more...  Speak to one of our Consultants for innumerable options.

 
Itinerary  Highlights

Day 1: Johannesburg / Kruger National Park  (D)
We leave Johannesburg at 07h00 and head north towards the vast wilderness of the Kruger National Park. After a short stop for tea we arrive at the safari hub of Hazyview, where you will climb aboard open safari vehicles and head out for your first game experience. Game sightings begin virtually as soon as we enter the reserve, which is home to Africa's Big Five as well as 147 species of mammals,  and an incredible array of reptiles and birds. Enjoy your first afternoon open safari vehicle game drive whilst your Ranger informs you of all manner of interesting facts about Kruger and her inhabitants. After your game drive you will make your way to the rest camp for dinner and your first nights sleep in this famous patch of bushveld.
Accommodation: Kruger Rest Camp or similar

Day 2: Kruger National Park (BD)
A full day seeking out Kruger's creatures, big and small. The wildlife escapes the full force of the African sun by retreating into dense bush during the heat of the day, and with this in mind, the best game viewing opportunities are during game drives in the early morning and late afternoon. We follow the animal's example by taking a midday siesta! Dinner and overnight at a rest camp in the park.                
Accommodation: Kruger Rest Camp or similar

Day 3: Kruger National Park / Johannesburg (B)
Enjoy an early morning game drive then tuck into a hearty breakfast before returning to camp around mid morning. We then leave the park and travel back to Johannesburg arriving at around 19h00.

Optional Pre & Post Tours

EXTRA NIGHTS
Extend your tour to the Kruger National Park by staying additional nights. Extended days will be as per day 2, and will comprise of a full day of game viewing and accommodation on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis, within the park.

KRUGER FOR LESS
For those seeking more time at leisure, but still wanting to experience the excitement of the Kruger National Park in open safari vehicles, this option is available. The itinerary and meals remain the same except the full-day safari on day 2 is excluded.

KRUGER PARK FLY-IN SAFARI
This tour is available as a fly-in option.  Under your own arrangement to Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport (own account), where you will be met and transferred to your Rest Camp. Here you will spend 2 nights in the famous Kruger National Park.  Enjoy an afternoon and full day game drive before you return to Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport, for your onward journey.

The Kruger Wildlife Tour begins and ends in Johannesburg, where Thompsons offer a range of pre or post-departure optional day tours, which can easily be added to your itinerary.  Use our accommodation search for accommodation options in this 'City of Gold'. 

The opportunities to extend your African vacation after your Kruger Wildlife tour are endless... add-on a few nights in Cape Town and enjoy our varied range of day tour options in and around Cape Town, then perhaps hop-on-board one of our fully escorted tours of the Garden Route - an area well noted for its natural beauty:
Garden Route Magnificent - 4 Day Guided Tour
Garden Route Wonderland - 4 Day Guided Tour

After Cape Town why not add on a Victoria Falls weekend of fun - Victoria Falls is the adventure hub of Africa.  Alternatively add on a romantic desert sojourn into Namibia

Another option is to 'tack-on' a short sojourn to Maputo in Mozambique after two nights on safari in Kruger.  Maputo is a mere two hour road transfer from southern Kruger.  Spend an evening in Maputo and discover the city's vibrant 'Cuban-Salsa' vibe and outstanding seafood delights, then spend some time on Inhaca Island soaking up the sea and sun.

Let our internet consultants guide you in creating your ultimate African vacation.
