About this tour
Use a private vehicle and an arranged birding guide to explore southern Kruger over three days. The route combines the flexibility needed for birding with the wider wildlife experience of the original private package.
After the transfer to Hazyview, the first afternoon continues with a sunset and night safari. Day two is a full private safari in southern Kruger, with time around river corridors, woodland, open areas and waterholes. The final morning returns to the park before breakfast and the onward transfer.
Two nights are included in a Superior room at Umbhaba Eco Lodge. The confirmed 2027 rack rates include the birding guide, lunch on day one, all breakfasts and dinners. Please inquire well in advance so guide and lodge availability can be secured.
