3-Day Classic Kruger Breakaway Tour from Johannesburg

Johannesburg, South Africa

On this safari you will have two nights in Kruger National Park, and enjoy two open-vehicle game drives and a traditional African "Boma" under the stars (weather permitting). You'll have the opportunity to spot the African "Big Five": lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards and rhinoceros, as well as an abundance of other wildlife.

You'll travel from Johannesburg across the Highveld and Machadodorp to stay the night on the border of Kruger National Park, and take an early-afternoon open-vehicle game drive. The next day you'll experience a number of sights including the Blyde River Canyon and Lisbon waterfall, with the rest of the day to spend at your leisure. Before returning to Johannesburg there'll be time for one final early-morning game drive.

Kruger National Park is a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts, and more than twice the size of Yellowstone National Park. Kruger was established back in 1898, making it one of the oldest preserves in the world. The park is known around the world for its easy access to wildlife and its well-maintained roads.

Worst part of the tour was the 5 hour car ride from Johannesburg. After arriving, the arrangements were on time for everything and very acceptable. The accommodations were very good and the guides very professional.

The hotel was excellent with few details overlooked. Although it was a lovely hotel they could use a good exterminator for the roach problem. I saw them in the bedroom, bathroom, and other areas. They really do make a superior effort. On the return trip, we did get stopped for a traffic check. I was a bit shaky when the police threatened to impound the vehicle because there was no tourist passenger insurance on the vehicle. Begging from the front office on the phone helped!

The morning game rides in June were too cold, even wrapped in blankets from the lodge, and there were not many animals out then. I would recommend going to Chobe instead.
