A TYPICAL DAY ON SAFARI

We leave the lodge very early in the morning, the gates opens at sunrise. This is the best time to see game, seeing that everything is still very fresh and the animals move around much more. Soon after entering the park you see exactly why Kruger is a world heritage site, as wildlife awaits you around every corner. Enjoy some warm coffee and rusks on the way, to keep away the worst hunger pains. At nine stretch the legs, and enjoy a cooked breakfast a short while later, overlooking a magnificent waterhole. Continue trough the day and leave the gates, after a satisfying day in Africa.
