We check out from Swadini Aventura after breakfast and ready to go at 09h00 for the Kruger Park, but first we have to visit Khamai Reptile Park in Hoedspruit.
 
Kruger Park is the ultimate game experience in South Africa, and a birders paradise.
En-route to Satara we have hours of game viewing driving riverine areas and stopping at watering holes.
We only use comfortable en-suite chalets fitted with insect screens, or you may choose the more adventurous options like semi luxury safari tents and camping. We will quote accordingly.
Kruger Park is home to an impressive number of species: 336 trees, 49 fish, 34 amphibians, 114 reptiles, 507 birds and 147 mammals.
 
DAY 5: Kruger Park - Game drives in the Satara area
•    Accommodation Camp Satara Kruger Park
 
We awake to the songs of birds with a sense of excitement for the day that lies ahead as we drive off into the Kruger wilderness.
The Satara area is known for attracting large herds of animals which in return attract the predators and is famous for Lion and Cheetah sightings. Rare species apparently found here are Sable, Eland, Nyala, Black and White Rhino. Rest assure to see more animals than ever imagined.
 
We will visit camp Olifants for breakfast, which is scenically the most dramatically setting of all the camps in the Kruger National Park and later Letaba visiting the Elephant Museum which has a display of the big tuskers tusks and interesting information regarding elephants. After lunch and time permitting we may go as far north as the Tropic of Capricorn.

For our last night in paradise and subject to availability we will overnight preferably at Skukuza. Dinner will be served at the old Skukuza railway station  now a restaurant.
