Tour overview

This 7-day safari focuses on Kruger National Park from a comfortable base, so there is no packing and unpacking. A tour leader travels with the group, which numbers between four and sixteen. You stay six nights, one in Johannesburg and five in a boutique hotel in Hazyview, with breakfast and dinner daily and two lunches.

After a welcome dinner in Johannesburg you travel to Hazyview and head straight out on your first game drive. A full day in Kruger follows, searching for elephants, lions, leopards and rhinos.

You walk through the bush with expert trackers, take a final morning game drive and spend a day exploring the canyons and waterfalls of the Panorama Route before the safari ends.

The physical rating is low. This trip suits travellers who want a short, comfortable and wildlife-rich safari.
