3-Day Kruger Park Safari with Night Drive & Bush Walk
Overview
This is a perfect addition to any safari, a game drive, a night drive and a morning bush walk. Genuine versions of these activities are not available even at the top lodges. The drive exposes you to encounters with many nocturnal creatures. An armed field guide leads the dawn bush walk, as you may come across big game on foot. Explore the smaller creatures and features of the wild up close rather than from a vehicle. A discount will apply if option 2 or 3, as described on day 1, is booked.

Day 3
Morning Bush Walk
Arise early this morning and go for a bush walk in Kruger Park. This is a special time of day as the animals awake. Up to 8 guests are taken to interesting places in the surrounding wilderness areas and along the riverbanks. The walk itself is relaxed and experienced, and armed guides use their knowledge of the bush to explain natural wonders. Two armed field guides accompany you on the walk. They will focus on things you usually can't see from a vehicle. By being out on foot, you'll cover an area more intensely, and you can experience nature using all of your senses. If there is any large game in the area, you are more than likely to encounter them and have an exhilarating experience of approaching them on foot. Comfortable shoes must be worn, and clothing should be natural colours. You will return to the lodge for breakfast. Our driver will pick you up at 11:00 am and transfer you to either Nelspruit Airport or Johannesburg as arranged. Breakfast & lunch (Dinner not included) Drinks not included

Awesome tour. Well worth the early wake up. Was truly an epic experience seeing so many animals up close. Lion, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes,hippos and rhinos to name a few. Our guide Willem was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Can’t go wrong with this experience

Excellent communication and service
We booked a Botswana safari with Mmilo Tours and were very impressed with the communication and service we received from Norman throughout the booking process and leading up to the safari. All in all, everything went smoothly and we would definitely book with Mmilo Tours again.

Excellency and reliability
For our first trip to South Africa, I looked for an animal sighting tour that would accommodate the needs of our family party, including myself, my 85 y/o mother, and an 18 y/o nephew. Our Choice could not have been better. Mmilo Tours offered us exactly what we were looking for, a private 2-day tour to Pillanersberg in a comfortable SUV just for us and definitely the most knowledgeable guide in the country, Mr. Willem Heckroodt. Apart from knowing the geography of South Africa in detail, which meant a lot to us since I am a professor in physical geography and my mum Emerita in the same field, Willem is a great conversationalist and a professional who anticipates and caters to all your needs. He excels in every aspect you would expect from a tourist Guide and made us feel at ease at all times, turning the trip into a unique learning experience and a relaxing and pleasurable one. I am incredibly grateful for his efforts to make the whole experience easy for my octagenarian mother, such as producing a plastic step stool to help her access the vehicle. Hence, I thoroughly recommend the services of Mmilo Tours without a hint of hesitation; they have always been helpful and proactive since our first contact. Their highly professional attitude has added to our satisfaction with the South African experience and made us wish to come back soon.

Very experienced tour guide who was completely focused on the well-being of the customer
Mmilo Tours was the only organizer who offered a tour to my satisfaction in the way I wanted to do it. Unfortuneatly I was very short on time and wanted to make the best of it. This customer centricity and flexibility by Mmilo Tours is outstanding. The booking and communications were fast and reliable, everything was arranged exactly as discribed before. My tour guide was very experienced and I had a great time.
