You will stop at various lookout points, waterholes, and rivers during your safari to increase your chances of seeing as many of the fauna & flora that the park has to offer as well as breath-taking scenery of the different areas of the park.

We got to see all of the big 5 animals with our guide in Kruger, who was dedicated to finding amazing animal encounters. We had several experiences where it was just us and maybe one other car because our guide spotted the animals or got us to the location where an animal was spotted quickly. Everything was prompt and professional. Communication was great. Highly recommend!
