Tucked away within the southern section of the world renowned Kruger National Park is the Thompsons private camping concession, from which we base our Wolhuter Tented Safari Tour.  This back-to-nature safari, really allows our clients to get 'closer' to the bush - at night with the sounds of hyena and lion not far from camp, and the night air filled with the buzz of innumerable insects, fireside stories take on an entirely 'other world' experience.  Our Wolhuter Safari is an adventure not to be missed!

For adventure tours, accommodation, car hire, guided tours and safaris, and escorted tours within the Kruger National Park and in fact throughout South and Southern Africa, trust Thompsons to tailor-make your memorable African safari holiday.

 
Itinerary  Highlights

Day 1: (Tue) Kruger Park (D)
Clients depart Hazyview at 12h30 (allowing clients to connect on the Johannesburg shuttle if necessary) in an open safari vehicle to Skukuza for lunch (own account) and an introduction to the Park. Use this opportunity to shop, as there are no shops at our campsites. This area of the Park offers excellent game viewing - we can expect to see general game, possibly lion and elephant and maybe even an elusive leopard. 

The Kruger National Park has identified several 'wilderness' campsites for the exclusive use of the tented safaris within the central section of the Park. Each site, situated in an area of unspoiled natural beauty is rich in bird and animal life.

On arrival guests are shown to their tent before meeting for sundowners and dinner. We hope to be in for a noise-filled, exciting evening!

Day 2: (Wed) Kruger Park (BD)
An early rise accompanied by tea and coffee, before setting out to explore one of Africa's greatest game reserves. From our privileged private wilderness sites we have the freedom to access areas of the park rarely visited. Chances of seeing one or all of the famed 'Big Five' are excellent, and of course the smaller plains game species and our wonderful African bird life is prolific. Morning safaris are complemented by delicious 'bush breakfasts' and a siesta is always possible during the heat of the African day! 

Day 3: (Thu) Kruger Park (BD)
Early morning wake up accompanied by tea, coffee & biscuits, is followed by our first game drive of the day with brunch at a picnic site. Continue the drive until late morning when we either meet our chef at one of our rest camps or return to camp for brunch. As the afternoon cools down, we make our way back into the bush for an exciting evening safari by spotlight. Dinner is served around our campfire and opportunities exist to view game by spotlight from the campsite. 

Day 4: (Fri) Kruger Park (B)
Our only 'sleep in' of the safari. After breakfast drive via Skukuza back to Hazyview for that final memorable game sighting. Back in Hazyview by 12h00 (giving clients time to connect with the Johannesburg shuttle at 12h30 if required) where The Wolhuter Tented Safari terminates.
