He Kruger park safari it means getting up early to take advantage of the sunrise, time of day in which the animals are visible; and then, when the afternoon falls, go out again to continue searching ... and photographing animals.

The Two-day experience at Kruger Park, with the possibility of doing four safaris, it is indescribable.

During the same I was able to live great experiences, such as feeling the aggressiveness of an elephant protecting its young, which also became "cool" before our vehicle.

For two full days of stay in the lodge You will leave at dawn to do the first safari, when the sun has not yet risen, so you will have to give yourself a good early morning to have the opportunity to see the animals in their first morning activities.

Before, during the night, it is possible to feel the very «presence» of the animals, from an elephant that surrounds the camp protected by electrified fences, or large mammals that walk during the night between the houses where you are sleeping.

And we were fortunate to see them because it is not always possible.

This is undoubtedly due in large part to the great expertise of the guides who accompany you, who with their great experience know where to go to look for animals at every moment of the day.

Some large mammals will be watching them continuously, as was the case with impalas, elephants or giraffes, but to see others a very specific search was essential, as was the case with lions or cheetahs.
