 | Kruger National Park Game Drives (guided) Reviews | 1 - 10 of 13 |  |
 White rhino sighting on a game drive by diver-x We stayed at the rest camps inside the park and they all offer early morning and evening game drives. You are taken out in a small, open-air bus and drive around for 3 hours looking for animals. The morning drives leave before sunrise, at 5:30 AM and the evening drives leave just before sunset at 5:00 PM. We were there in May, and even though it was comfortably warm during most of the day, the morning drives were COLD! The evening drives weren't much warmer. If you're there in the cooler months, you'll need several layers to stay warm. Bring a hat, sweatshirt, windbreaker and long pants! I have to say, there wasn't much that we saw on the game drives that we didn't see driving around on our own. We saw a rhino, some jackals and a hyena, which we didn't see on our own. But all of the rest, (lions, elephants, buffalo, etc.) we did see on our own and in higher concentrations. So you don't HAVE to get up early to see good stuff, but you never know what you might miss if you don't!

For evening drives, we had no trouble booking just before the drive, but we were there off-season.Website: http://www.sanparks.org/parks/kruger/

 Lion, MalaMala by Myndo Starting very early in the morning, they pack you in a Jeep and drive you around the Nature reserve. Since there are several Camps and Jeeps and all are connected with radio equipment, they inform each other, if they see anything interesting. So here is your best chance to see the "big five" (lion, leopard, rhinoceros, buffalo and elephant) real close up, but in the wild. Also you get all the information you need and want to know. Isn?t that lion just the cutest? I am not going to rub its belly anyway, sorry. Leave a Comment Address: Sabie Sand Wildtuin

by Gili_S One of the good reasons to have a guided tour sometimes is that they (the guides) can also communicate with each other live while on the game drive and tell each other where the exotic animals are. That is how we found this beautiful Cheetah. Leave a Comment

Our guide took us also to see the local Elephants in private game reserve, being local and familiar with the elephants he could drive the land rover much closer then I would ever drive nearby African elephant. You can see them here just in front of the land rover, it was amazing watching them. Leave a Comment

There is a lot to do in the Nat. Kruger Park, you can take Wilderness Trails, Guided Day Walks, Bush Braais, Bush Breakfasts, Game Drives Day and Night. The Game drives are great fun!! Leave a Comment

by LysDor Safari tours that usually take place early in the mornings and late in the evenings and last 4 hours. After two hours of 'hunting' your ranger and his tracker stop and you are allowed to step out of the jeep right to the wilderness to enjoy a nice evening cocktail or morning breakfast. But beware of wild animals that can pass you nearby without notice! Leave a Comment

It certainly is worth taking a guided drive in one of the landrovers. Not only do you get good views from being up slightly higher than when in a car, you also benefit from the rangers knowledge. Taking an organised trip also means you get to go where the general public are not allowed to go. Leave a Comment

by Gili_S Our guide also took us to a large waterhole where we could see a nice family of Hippopotamuses, no matter how big they are, the young ones always look sweet, isn't it? Leave a Comment

The same place where we found few Hippo’s we found also plenty of Buffalo’s, they are always close to water and in big herds where they try to protect the young ones in the middle, but not always that successful. Leave a Comment

I guided tour is recommended for many reasons and one of them is that they can follow the footsteps of an animal and find them for you as they did with this small group of lions. Leave a Comment
