Why this trip

A Land Rover, a sunrise and somewhere ahead of you in the grass a pride of lions: anyone who dreams of Kruger National Park dreams of this hour. For many it is the lifelong wish to stand once in the African savannah for real, and the park is a place where that can be fulfilled well. Kruger National Park itself is big enough that you need several days to see its variety. Private reserves such as Klaserie and Timbavati at the edge offer drives that are not tied to fixed routes.

The Lion Sands Game Reserve and the Grietjie Private Nature Reserve show how different landscape and density of animals can be. May to September is the dry season, the vegetation thins and animals gather at the water. As possible accommodation, the Makanyi Private Game Lodge and the Lukimbi Safari Lodge come into question. Sabi Sand, Hluhluwe and Cape Town are neighbours within reach.

A safari needs preparation with time: vaccinations, clothing, rhythm of the day. Once in a Lifetime discusses all this with you by video call, long before the suitcase is packed.
