Kruger Explorer
Explore the Kruger National Park.
An incredible 3 Star Lodge Tour to Kruger National Park in South Africa. The Kruger Explorer Safari travels from Johannesburg to Kruger National Park via the Panorama Route highlights of God’s Window, Lisbon Falls and Graskop.
After settling in at the comfortable lodge we embark on an afternoon or evening game drive in Kruger. Spend a full day game viewing in open 4×4 safari vehicles on day two, hopefully sighting the Big Five, amongst numerous other wild animals and birds in the vast Kruger Park. Take a final game drive on the third morning, before returning to Johannesburg where this action-packed Kruger Explorer Safari ends.
