While there are numerous game reserves in South Africa, the Kruger National Park is one of the best and certainly the most famous the country has to offer.

Safaris don’t allow for lie-ins, with early starts the order of the day. Tea and coffee provide a subtle distraction before a game drive into the wilderness takes your breath away. This is followed by a hearty breakfast and relaxation time back at the lodge. Top up your tan, enjoy a cool dip in the pool or just admire the surroundings.
