Morning Safaris and Wildlife Wonders

As the sun rises over the lush landscapes of Hazyview, the call of the wild beckons. The perfect way to start your weekend is with a Sunrise Safari in the renowned Kruger National Park. Departing at 5:30 AM, this exclusive half-day tour offers a private experience with an expert guide, ensuring you have the best chance to witness the park’s diverse wildlife as they begin their day. The early morning hours are prime time for spotting nocturnal creatures like lions and leopards before they retreat from the sun’s heat.

The thrill of the chase is palpable as you traverse the park in a luxury open safari vehicle, binoculars in hand, ready to capture the majesty of elephants, giraffes, and zebras. Your guide, a walking encyclopedia of the park’s flora and fauna, will enrich your journey with tales of the land’s heritage and the intricate dance of its ecosystem. As you sip your morning bush coffee, the world around you comes alive, offering a sensory feast that is both thrilling and humbling.

Review (2024-07-05): Absolutely spectacular and incredible! Andrew was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide! We had 2 half day tours and were able to customize to include pick up and drop off from the airport. Andrew provided a relaxed environment that let us fully experience nature and the amazing wildlife in Kruger.
