Day 2: Kruger National Park
Today, depart from Hippo Hollow at about lunch time in an open safari vehicle to Skukuza Camp. In the heart of southern Kruger, Skukuza and its surrounds offers excellent game viewing, and you can expect to see a variety of large game browsing from the acacia woods. Our guides prefer to use little-driven back roads on their way to the overnight camp; a great advantage in avoiding the crowded areas of the park and increasing the chances of wildlife encounters at close quarters! On arrival, guests are shown to their tent. This is a back-to-nature experience with no ensuite bathrooms or electricity in the tents. Enjoy your first bush sundowner and sumptuous home-cooked dinner, served under a canopy of acacias and a star-filled sky - welcome to a real African experience. Overnight: Wolhuter Camping Safari.

Day 3: Kruger National Park
An early morning wake up, accompanied by freshly brewed tea, coffee and biscuits, is followed by your first game drive of the day, enjoying the natural beauty of Kruger National Park. Return to camp a bush walk or a siesta! Bush walks are an ideal way to learn about the indigenous flora and fauna with a guide who provides a great insight into recognising the local bird life, the many uses of local foliage and the signs that enable wildlife tracking. Later in the afternoon, you will enjoy a short afternoon game drive. Dinner is served around the campfire. Overnight: Wolhuter Camping Safari. (B/D)
Day 4: Kruger National Park
Traditionally, early mornings are the best safari times, with the wildlife taking advantage of the cool air to drink from waterholes or take advantage of the dew that clings to the trees and grass. Equally, the cold morning air can be the best time for the big cats to hunt! So again, it is an early rise, before setting out to explore the area around Satara. After lunch, time at leisure and as the afternoon cools down, head back out into the bush for an evening safari, returning to camp by spotlight. Overnight: Wolhuter Camping Safari. (B/D)
