Safaris and spectacular scenery at a pace that suits you
Spanning some 19,500 square kilometres across South Africa’s Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces, Kruger National Park is one of Africa’s top wildlife arenas. Spend six days discovering this region on a Peregrine Independent Experience focused on spotting the Big Five and eyeing off some stunning landscapes along the way. Wildebeest, zebra, elephants and eagles are just some animals you’ll likely encounter on this short adventure, as well as some stunning views along the Blyde River Canyon’s Panoramic Route. With return transfers from Johannesburg and accommodation at a comfortable lodge set in a private game reserve, your Kruger Experience gets you straight to the heart of safari territory.
