3 DAY KRUGER PARK BACKPACKERS / STUDENT SAFARI
Enjoy a 3-Day Kruger National Park Open Vehicle Safari with Vomba Tours & Safaris. The KNP is one of the world’s leading nature reserve, boasting Africa’s Big 5 and many more species of mammals, reptiles and birds. One has great chances of encountering lion, elephant, leopard, and buffalo on a 3 to 5-day safari; 95% of our clients are lucky enough to encounter the Big 5. We have many zebras, giraffe, hippos, and other species that your ranger will teach you all about. Vomba Tours & Safaris make use of private accommodation venues just outside the main gates, ensuring availability and top-class quality service.
Day 1: Transfer & Afternoon safari. (Dinner included)
NB: All transfers depart at 6:45 am daily from the OR Tambo shuttle/bus terminal.
Please see a selection of accommodation lodges and hotels near the OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg; most lodges offer free transfers to the bus shuttle terminal…
Vomba Tours & Safaris makes use of Ashtons Shuttle services; the leading shuttle operators to and from Kruger National Park. They depart strictly at 6:45 am one needs to be at the bus terminal by 6:30 am (Please don’t be late they have to depart in these specific time slots)
You will arrive in Hazyview between 11:30 to 12:00 pm where you will be met by your safari guide who will transfer you to the Bushpackers(subject to availability) . There will be sufficient time to check-in and settle before you are collected at 14:30 pm for your first safari; this will be a relaxed late-afternoon / sunset safari. The cats are most active in the early mornings, so we will mainly focus on the planes game like Zebra and giraffe.
We depart the park at gate closing times this just before sunset and return to the hotel after a long day. You will then enjoy dinner, some leisure time and an early night in bed, as you will need to rise early the next morning.
Day 2: Full Day open vehicle safari in the Kruger National Park (Breakfast & Dinner included)
Our safari starts very early, before sunrise, to the Kruger National Park in specially fitted open vehicles. We enter the park at one of the best wildlife areas; here you will spend the day on a safari with your ranger and we will visit various water holes, lookout points & rivers.
We have our breakfast, which was pre-packed by the Bushpackers, at a local rest camp and then continue our safari looking for the mighty Big 5, not missing out on over 100 mammal & 500 bird species – your ranger will ensure the very best experience. Your guide will stop at a local rest camp for lunch where there is a great menu, then we continue with our safari.
We return to the Bushpackers late afternoon (around 4 pm) after a great day on safari. You can then relax and even jump into the swimming pool before we have dinner. But be sure to get to bed early, as you will have to get up early for the next day’s early morning safari and transfer back home.
Day 3: Morning Safari and transfer back to Johannesburg.
On your last day, we depart very early again on another safari into the KNP. We will depart with our luggage and breakfast packs supplied by the Bushpackers. This is a shorter 4-hour safari, yet it will be within the best possible area in KNP. We will depart the KNP at 11:00 am and make our way to Perry’s Bridge in Hazyview where you will meet up with the Ashtons shuttle at 12:00 pm and make your way back towards the shuttle terminal at OR Tambo. There you will depart to your various lodges and hotels after a great safari experience.
NOTES:
We mostly book with lodges and hotels outside of the Kruger Park as there is a bigger variety of accommodation and it’s only a 10-minute drive to the nearest entry gate. All the accommodation venues are privately owned.
We cannot take children under 8 on shared safaris but please request a quote on private safaris.
Clients flying out of OR TAMBO on last day to please not book flights earlier than 20:00 pm for domestic flights and 21:00 pm for international flights as one cannot always guarantee on-time arrival at OR Tambo International airport.
Clients should arrive the day before their tour starts to avoid missing the shuttle to Kruger national park, as this vehicle is not private and cannot be delayed.
