Itinerary

  • Day 1 – Kruger Safari Big Five Game Drive & Camp Experience
  • Your Kruger Park safari adventure begins with a morning pick-up from your accommodation in Johannesburg, Pretoria, or Sandton around 08:00. You’ll be transferred to OR Tambo International Airport, where you’ll catch a scenic flight at 10:00 to Skukuza Airport, arriving by mid-morning at around 11:05. Upon landing, your guide will be waiting at arrivals to greet you and transport you on a 45-minute drive to Booked Camp in Kruger National Park, where you’ll arrive at 12:00.
  • After checking in and settling down, the excitement begins with an afternoon safari in Kruger National Park. Climb aboard an open safari vehicle and embark on a thrilling game drive through the park, where you’ll have the chance to encounter Kruger’s famous Big Five—lion, buffalo, rhino, elephant, and leopard—as well as other incredible wildlife. Kruger safaris like this offer unforgettable moments, including a stop at Skukuza Camp for a quick bite to eat before continuing your journey through the park’s stunning landscapes. As the day draws to a close, you’ll return to your Lodge, where you can unwind and reflect on the day’s experiences.

Enjoy Kruger park tours and Kruger safari tours with no long drives, offering you the perfect opportunity to witness the park’s diverse wildlife and stunning landscapes over three exciting days.

Overnight: Skukuza Camp or similar.

Accompanied by experienced rangers, you’ll explore the bush on foot, gaining a deeper appreciation for the smaller details of the ecosystem—animal tracks, bird calls, and plant life—all while keeping an eye out for wildlife in their natural surroundings.
  • After the walk, enjoy a light breakfast before setting off on a full-day safari through Kruger National Park. The morning hours offer prime wildlife viewing, with a good chance of spotting predators like lions and leopards before they retreat from the heat of the day.
  • As you travel through the park, you’ll witness a variety of landscapes and animal behaviours, from grazing elephants to herds of antelope and vibrant birdlife. A stop at Skukuza Camp allows for breakfast and later, a relaxing lunch break in a well-equipped rest camp with great views of the surrounding bush.
  • The safari continues into the afternoon, offering more incredible opportunities for sightings before the day wraps up around 16:00. Rather than returning to Hazyview, you’ll stay overnight at Skukuza Camp or similar, right in the heart of the park—perfect for falling asleep to the sounds of the wild.

Overnight: Skukuza Camp or similar

  • Day 3 – Adventure on Your 3-Day Kruger Safari Before Johannesburg Return
  • Wake up early for your final morning Kruger safari, departing around 5:30 am. As the sun rises, the bush comes alive with movement—predators returning from their night hunts and herbivores beginning their day. This is your last opportunity to soak in the sights and sounds of the wild, capturing those final memorable moments in Kruger. A pre-packed breakfast will be provided for you to enjoy during the drive.
  • After the morning safari, you’ll continue on a shorter game drive before being dropped off at Skukuza Airport. Here, you’ll board your flight back to Johannesburg, departing at 13:05 and arriving at OR Tambo International Airport by 14:05.
  • This marks the end of your unforgettable 3-day Kruger safari.

The Kruger 3 day safari can be enjoyed year-round. Here’s what to expect in each season:
• Dry Season (May–September): Best time for game viewing. Fewer water sources mean animals congregate around rivers and waterholes, making them easier to spot.
• Wet Season (October–April): Lush green scenery and many baby animals. This is also the best season for birdwatching due to migratory species.

Whatever time you choose, Africa Moja Tours ensures a well-organized and memorable experience.

Booking your 3 day Kruger safari with Africa Moja Tours is simple. You can:
