Photographic, birding & big 5 safaris WITH AFRICAN CUISINE
TASTE OF THE BUSH, AFRICAN JOURNEYS -
A SAFARI COMPANY WITH A DIFFERENCE...
This option is for the guest who wants to experience the best that the Kruger has to offer, maximising the time spent on wildlife and nature experiences in the bush.
Best of Kruger
The Kruger National Park has more mammals than any park in the world and more birds (in summer) than most countries! We cover as much of the Kruger as possible within the time allocated to allow our guests to experience as many of the different eco-zones the Kruger has to offer! All game drives are conducted in our open safari vehicle and an additional night drive is booked with a vehicle and guide of the park itself.
Historic locations
The Kruger Park`s history is most interesting! It has many stories to tell: of a time when the Kruger was just a dream, of brave men fighting to conserve this land, of a time when Jock of the bushveld became the most famous dog in Africa, a time when legends were born under the African sunset... Your Taste Of The Bush guide will share with you these stories around the camp fire at night, or as you pass one of the many historic locations!
Kruger extended
There are several private game reserves immediately surrounding the Kruger Park, collectively referred to as the Greater Kruger Park. Since no fences exist between the park and these protected areas, game can cross over freely between the Kruger and the adjacent reserves. A guided bush walk within this extended big 5 area forms part of both tour packages.
This is our premium product & the ideal option for guests who enjoy a bit of everything. From authentic wildlife safaris to scenic tours & educational experiences, this tour is diverse & comprehensive, even offering a look into the interesting history of the romantic gold rush era.
Natural beauty
A tour of the Panorama Route offers a breathtaking trip up the northern ranges of the extended Drakensberg Mountain Range. Such a tour consists of many scenic stops, various beautiful waterfalls, Wonder View, Bourke`s Luck Potholes, the Blyde River Canyon and the Graskop Gorge Lift. The guide knows the interesting history of the whole route and loves to share it with our guests!
Educational experiences
A visit to the world renowned Moholoholo wildlife rehabilitation centre offers the guest the opportunity to get up close & personal with African animals that cannot be released back into the wild. The educational value of this centre is most significant in that it gives the visitor a better idea of how the animals look from a very close distance, leading to an enhanced appreciation of their magnificence!
Tasty African cuisine
We have discerned through many conversations with tourists to Africa that they would have liked more exposure to traditional South African food while on safari. Thus, we invite you to sample various types of local foods with us, be it different types of game meat or local dishes and treats like cooked pumpkin leaves, scrambled ostrich eggs, koeksisters, and more...
