What to Expect?

Our birding safaris start early—because the early bird catches the worm! We’ll pick you up at your accommodation (guest house, lodge, hotel) or at one of the southern Kruger Park entrance gates. From there, we head straight to the park to begin our full-day birding adventure.

Our open safari vehicles are fitted with roll-down canvas sides and fleece-lined ponchos to protect you from the elements. These vehicles provide excellent visibility and comfort while maximizing your chances of spotting birds and other wildlife.

This is a private, full-day experience, typically lasting 9–10 hours. You and your group will have exclusive use of the vehicle and the dedicated attention of your birding guide. In some instances, we offer per-seat birding trips (hosted birding days), but we ensure that all guests onboard share a birding interest to make the experience enjoyable for everyone.

While our main focus is on birds, Kruger is home to the Big 5 and a wealth of other mammals, so expect to enjoy excellent wildlife sightings along the way.
