Safari Adventures in Kruger National Park
For many people, an African Safari in Kruger Park is a bucket list item, which is why BushLife Travel goes the extra mile to make this more than just a spectator experience. Our safaris are an immersion in the wild that engages your senses…
Feel the African sunshine on your skin and the wild breeze in your hair, as you absorb the smells of wild animals and the fragrances of the environment they live in. Let the symphony of the wild reverberate into your being as the bird songs soothe you, and the call of the lions stirs your sense of adventure. Our safaris invite your senses to engage in the wild experience, and for most people, it’s utterly addictive!
BushLife Travel has partnered with some of the area’s most experienced nature guides to also provide private safaris on request. The animals within the park are free-roaming without fences restricting their territories and home ranges, and allowing nature to control animal populations and movements.
Kruger National Park is one of Africa’s most iconic safari destinations. The park is located in the North-eastern corner of South Africa, bordering Mozambique on its eastern boundary. Spanning nearly 20 000 square kilometers (2000000ha) it is South Africa’s Largest National Park. The Kruger National Park has nine entrances from the South African side and two gates that enter Mozambique on its eastern border. The closest port of entry from Marloth Park is Crocodile Bridge Gate, a short 20-min drive from Pata Pata House, The Wild Bunch Safari House, and Blue Goose Bush Retreat.
Options for Kruger Park Safaris:
Morning Safaris
Morning safaris begin early enough to give you the opportunity to potentially see some of the nocturnal animals, in addition to the usual animals, birds and creatures that are active during the day.
Kruger Park gate opening times vary from season to season, but morning safaris aim for the earliest possible start.
Comfort stops usually include a breakfast stop at one of the main camps, where guests also have an opportunity to shop for curios and mementos.
Guests are collected from, and returned to their accommodation by the safari guide.
Full-Day Safaris
Full-day safaris also begin as early as possible, to maximize the opportunities for seeing nocturnal animals, before encountering the usual animals, birds and creatures that are active during the day.
Kruger Park gate access times vary from season to season, and this affects both entrance and exit times. BushLife Travel will advise you of the relevant times for your safari when you book.
