Overview

Embark on a thrilling sojourn, originating from Johannesburg, as we voyage into the heart of South Africa’s Kruger Big 5 National Park. Our four-day African safari offers a unique immersion into an exhilarating world of untamed nature, revered as a quintessential South African wilderness encounter.

Set off on a wild adventure in our purpose-built, elevated truck, crafted to optimize your photographic encounters, while complementing the thrill of the ride with panoramic views. A portion of your journey will also be spent aboard a bespoke open 4×4 safari vehicle, custom-engineered for the rugged terrain of Kruger National Park. Our seasoned guides will steer you across the intricate network of paths within the park, tracing the trails of the wild residents that freely roam these lands.

Although sightings can never be assured, your alert and watchful eyes – scanning both the ground and the sprawling branches of the marula trees – will increase the chances of spotting the elusive and elegant spotted cats. Relish the adrenalin rush of the safari, revel in the sightings of the famed Big 5, and delight in the sight of zebras, giraffes, and rhinos, all within the ambience of a truly African setting.

Kruger National Park, a conservation zone larger than certain European countries, offers an expanse of almost two million hectares. Here, predawn nature strolls and post-dusk drives await, enabling you to glimpse the wildlife at their peak times – the serene quiet of sunrise and the mysterious allure of sunset.

As our odyssey draws to a close, we will traverse the breathtaking Panorama Route, pausing to marvel at nature’s artwork – God’s Window, Bourke’s Luck Potholes, and the Three Rondavels, all integral elements of the globally recognised Blyde River Canyon. This canyon, ranking third in the world, boasts a view that necessitates a moment’s pause – an awe-inspiring vista that plunges 800 meters into the river below. You are guaranteed to be left in wonder at nature’s grandeur, as we wind our way back towards Johannesburg, concluding our unforgettable African escapade.

Please be aware that during the next few days (while we are visiting Kruger National Park), the order of activities could change without prior notice and a degree of flexibility is needed.  This is to allow for maximum game viewing opportunities and experiences.  It is possible on certain departures that a different vehicle type could be used at either the start or the end of your tour.  This means that on either day 1 (from Johannesburg to the Greater Kruger National Park) or day 4 (Kruger National Park to Johannesburg, your journey may be conducted in shuttle (minivan) vehicles to meet up with and/or depart from the Nomad truck in the Greater Kruger National Park.   If your selected date involves such a shuttle, we will inform you accordingly.
