Collection
Your Nhongo Safaris guide collects you directly from your accommodation in the Hazyview area. Board the open safari vehicle and receive a quick briefing on the day ahead.
We head straight to the park gate (e.g., Phabeni or Numbi). Your guide handles the entrance process, ensuring you are ready to start the Game Drive immediately at official opening time.
We focus on water sources and areas known for predator activity as the park wakes up. Target species include the Big Five and nocturnal animals retreating for the day.
Game Drive
We stop at a central Kruger rest camp (e.g., Skukuza or Lower Sabie) for a much-needed break. You have time to purchase breakfast or a quick snack and stretch your legs safely.
The safari continues, often moving to different biomes to maximize biodiversity. Your guide uses expert tracking skills to find animals hiding from the midday heat, sharing fascinating ecological and behavioral insights along the way.
A longer stop at a major rest camp. Enjoy purchasing lunch and a cool drink, or simply relax and observe the animals and birdlife around the camp perimeter.
Drop Off
The final push of your Full-Day Game Drive. We explore the final designated zone, taking advantage of the shifting animal locations as the temperature begins to drop slightly. This time offers a great chance to see large herds moving or the elusive leopard.
At 4pm we start making our way out of the park, ensuring we reach the gate and exit on time.
You are dropped off safely and seamlessly back at your Hazyview accommodation, concluding your comprehensive Kruger National Park day trip.
Forget the stress, we provide complimentary collection directly from your Hazyview accommodation, ensuring a smooth and easy start to your day.
Our purpose-designed open safari vehicle provides a superior, elevated position, giving you the best possible vantage point over Kruger’s stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife. You’ll be able to fully absorb the sights, sounds, and smells of the African wilderness, enhancing your chances of an unforgettable Kruger Park safari.
