Ingwenyama Resort

Experience the best of the Kruger National Park with this 3 day package. You get to maximise your stay in the Kruger, with professional guides leading both morning and evening game drives. This affords plenty of opportunities to spot the Big Five and take in the pristine wilderness of the national park. You have the option to forgo the morning drive and embark on the Panorama route, which includes stops at the Blyde River Canyon, Three Rondavels, Lisbon Waterfalls and God’s Window (This is not offered on the last day of the tour).

Itinerary

Day 1: Arrive at Kruger National Park

We depart from Johannesburg between 06h00 – 08h00 to allow for various collection points (**Safari Pick up’s and drop off’s available from the following destinations: Johannesburg, Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport, Skukuza, prices will vary**).

After settling in to your accommodations, you go out on your first game drive which is a SAN PARKS sunset drive. A sunset drive affords you the opportunity to see nocturnal animals that are more active at night and the Park’s rangers are allowed to return after the normal gate closing times. Note that these drives take place in one of the Kruger Park’s vehicles with a Park’s ranger. This is not a private game drive and there may be other guests on this drive. (Children under 6 years of age are not permitted on open vehicle drives.)

Dinner is a three course meal, served al fresco at your base camp. Wine is served with dinner but guests are welcome to bring along additional / alternative drinks which can be purchased at the shop.

Day 2: Full day in the Park

Safaris are all about early mornings, getting out there and seeing animals! The time you go on your Game Drive varies according to the seasons and camp gate opening times. Tea and cofffee is served with muffins and fruit before departing on the Game Drive which will take approximately 3-4 hours. Your guide has an intimate knowledge of the park, which contributes a great deal towards brilliant sightings!
On returning to camp, brunch will be ready.

You then have time to enjoy a swim, catch up on some sleep, visit the park shop which includes African curios, general food items and drinks, take a walk around the camp, or simply relax! Be sure to bring along your binoculars!

After a siesta we set off on the afternoon Kruger Park game drive. We conduct all our game drives in specially adapted 4×4 open game drive vehicles to allow you the best possible vantage point.

Share African safari stories at the camp fire under the stars after a scrumptious dinner served at camp.
(Breakfast & Dinner included)

Day 3: End of Kruger Safari

The final day of your Kruger Park Safari will be your last chance to see the Big Five Animals that have eluded you thus far. After breakfast you will be transferred to your chosen destination (Johannesburg, Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport, Skukuza)

Optional Excursion (free of charge)

An opitional excursion (free of charge) is offered to visit select attractions along the Panorama Route.  You will enjoy breakfast in camp at 07h30, depart from camp at 08h15 and visit attractions such as the Blyde River Canyon, Three Rondavels, Lisbon Waterfalls and God’s Window. Stop in one of the small towns en-route for lunch (lunch is excluded from the price).  Arrive back at camp between 17h00 and 18h00. This excursion is available free of charge, replaces your game drives for the day and will be co-ordinated while you are on safari. (Kindly note that this excursion is not available on the first or last day of your Safari due to time constrictions)
