An afternoon safari in the Kruger National Park is an unforgettable way to experience the beauty and wildlife of this world-famous destination. Spanning nearly two million hectares, Kruger is home to an incredible diversity of animals, landscapes, and ecosystems – from open grasslands to dense riverine forests.
Setting out in the afternoon allows guests to explore the park as it transitions from the heat of the day into the cooler evening hours. As temperatures drop, many animals become more active again, offering excellent chances to spot predators preparing for the night and herds gathering around waterholes.
Travelling in an open safari vehicle provides clear, panoramic views and close-up encounters with Kruger’s wildlife. Led by a qualified field guide, the experience combines expert knowledge, sharp eyes, and the freedom to explore different areas of the park. From the Big Five to smaller species and colourful birdlife, every sighting adds to a memorable afternoon in the wild.
A stop is made along the way for refreshments and to take in the changing light as the sun begins to set over the bushveld. Shorter in duration but full of excitement, an afternoon safari is the perfect way to end the day immersed in the wonders of Kruger.
