Kruger Park Self Drive Safari - 5 Days (Code SD2)

Detailed Self Drive Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Kruger National Park
Clients are met upon arrival at Johannesburg International( O. R. Tambo) Airport by a representative of African Sky Safaris and Tours who presents them with their self drive tour itinerary, a map book of South Africa as well as a GPS on which a suggested route has been pre programmed. The locations of the suggested activities and places of interest we suggest in this itinerary are also logged in the GPS. At this time clients are also presented with accommodation and other relevant vouchers which they will require on their self drive tour.

The Representative spends an hour with guests going over the route and offering suggestions and advice. All members of the African Sky Team have years of experience in conducting tours and safaris in South and Southern Africa. He or she should be able to answer any questions clients might have regarding their self drive holiday. The representative then assists them with collecting their rental car after which clients embark on their self drive holiday of South Africa.

Guests then travel to the Southern Kruger National Park along the national highway. Here two nights are spent in Berg en Dal on a bed and breakfast basis

Day 2-4: Kruger National Park
Guests have three days to explore the Kruger National Park. An early mooring start is suggested to enable you to take advantage of the cool morning hours of game sightings. You can make your way to the northern part of the central Kruger National Park. Excellent game viewing opportunities for Elephant, Zebra and Buffalo are fairly common. As with all predator-prey relationships, Tsessebe and Ostrich abound in the open scrub land and while the predators are not as common, it is still possible to get glimpses of them. This Northern Region of the park has the indigenous Mopane tree, a favourite food source for the many Elephant in this part of Kruger, mixed with taller trees such as Leadwood, Apple Leaf, Jackalberry and Nyala Trees toward the west.

During your visit to the park you can drive to Letaba rest camp where there is a museum about elephants. You can see the tusks of the magnificent seven, huge tusks of 7 elephants who once roamed Kruger. Every pair of tusks has the story about the animal.
This museum is well worth visiting. It will teach you all about this magnificent animal.

On your return to the Lodge in the evenings you can treat yourself to a Boat Safari on the Olifants River or simply relax under the African skies savoring the sounds of the evening wildlife.
