Northern Kruger Walking Safari Itinerary

We recommend a 3 night walking safari. The below is an idea of what to expect on your Northern Kruger walking safari:

Day 1

You meet your guide at the Luvuvhu River Bridge. Following a safety briefing, you head out for a short afternoon walk. On return to camp, enjoy a hot shower, drinks, and an evening meal under the African stars.

Guests stay in a mobile tented camp. Each tent has either twin or king beds. Inside, there are charging facilities and a clothes rack. En-suite bathroom with a flush toilet and wash basin. With direct access to a private outdoor hot bush shower.

Days 2 & 3

We depart early for a morning walk. Distance and duration may vary. But generally, we spend three to four hours following game paths before returning to camp for brunch. After a siesta, we head out on either a short afternoon walk or drive.

Day 4

After the customary early wake up, we depart on a shorter morning walk. Arriving back at camp where you’ll enjoy a final hearty brunch before being transferred back to your vehicles. We highly recommend taking a night or two at Pafuri Camp after your walking safari in the Northern Kruger National Park.
