Many of our clients see at least four of the big 5 and if you are lucky five of the big 5, however there is no guarantee as animals roam freely.

Experience the legendary Kruger National Park, home to the magnificent ‘Big Five’ animals of the world, and a host of others besides…147 species of mammal, and over 500 bird species. Our specialist tour into this famous reserve is in specially modified, open safari vehicles, both to enhance your game viewing, and to provide the finest, unimpeded vantage points for photography and bird watching. There’s little between you and your subject! Our qualified experienced guides will undoubtedly enhance the experience with their deep understanding of the bush and the movement and identification of animals and birds, knowledge they will impart to you. You’ll not only relish the experience of being in the Kruger environment, but you’ll leave with gems of information you’d never have known before.
