From Cape Town to Africa safari in Kruger.

From there we will go to one of the most beautiful natural parks in our world, the Kruger. Infinite horizons, wild nature, animals in freedom and a sky that seems to collapse at sunset on its unforgettable silhouette, this is the Kruger National Park, get ready to take a good camera because you will not get tired of photographing all the beauty that you will have in front of your eyes.

Visit Kruger National Park in South Africa (we recommend minimum 4 nights)

Kruger National Park is undoubtedly one of the most famous Natural Parks in the world for safaris in Africa. The Kruger Park contains all the beauty of the flora and fauna of the African continent, occupying a huge area of protected area of approximately 19,000 km². The Kruger Park is home to a large number of impalas and all kinds of gazelles, more than 30,000 zebras, 17,000 wildebeests, 12,000 elephants …, and thousands of families of the wildest felines roam freely through this territory of high natural value. The park protects about 150 different species of mammals, including the famous “Big Five” (elephants, rhinos, buffaloes, lions and leopards).

The size of Kruger Park borders the South African provinces of Mpumalanga and Limpopo, while its northern border borders Zimbabwe and the eastern border Mozambique. The climate of the area allows you to enjoy wildlife throughout the year. During the austral winter it is easier to see the animals due to the lower density of vegetation. In the austral spring you have more chances to see beautiful cubs and young, as well as a greater variety of birds.

What are safaris like in Kruger in South Africa?

The best way to do safaris is in 4x4, led by local professionals who will be happy to explain all the details and curiosities about its fauna and vegetation in the most idyllic corners of the Kruger park. You will go with a ranger in his open safari vehicle for a walk and you will be very attentive in search of the Big Five, and other smaller animals that are part of the African safari. The lodge’s rangers are very experienced and are the perfect safari guides for strolling in the pastures of the African savannah.

The safaris usually start early in the day since it is when we will find the most active animals, although they can be prolonged throughout the day, offering you stops to rest, have a drink and take the best photos. As the day progresses the sun tightens and for this reason it is recommended early safaris or night safaris, a very good alternative that gives another perspective to the wildlife of the park. The night safaris are also guided by local professionals, who are also connected to each other to find out where the animals are. For this reason guided safaris are excellent, because it increases the possibility of seeing wild animals (and especially the big 5), which are in continuous movement. (Remember that a safari is not like going to the zoo, although some think so!). Animals are wild and free and it is very important to be aware of this and respect animals in their natural habitat. The experience offers an intimate encounter with nature and wildlife.

By plane from Kruger in South Africa to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe or Zambia

What better way to end your trip than at Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, watching its majestic waterfalls fall from over 100 meters high!

Victoria Falls is a magnificent vacation destination in which many travelers not only visit the falls, but also enjoy amazing activities. Victoria Falls is one of the seven natural wonders of the world and is declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. At its peak flow, around June, this precipice of one hundred meters high and more than a kilometer and a half wide is enveloped in the din of the fall of 3000 tons of water per second.

Scottish missionary and explorer David Livingstone was the first European to see Victoria Falls. He did so from what is now known as “Livingstone Island” in Zambia, the only piece of land accessible in the middle of the falls. David Livingstone named them “Victoria Falls” in honor of his queen, but the indigenous name “Mosi-oa-Tunya” (literally, “the smoke that thunders”) is equally recognized on the World Heritage list.

Although they are neither the tallest nor the widest in the world, they are the largest. With a width of 1708 meters and a height of 108 meters, we are facing the most extensive waterfall on the planet. Since they form the natural border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, there are two sides of Victoria Falls to visit and both are worth visiting.
