The sounds of the African wilderness
awakening to another day, fill the air as
guests enjoy an early morning game drive admiring
the antelope, predators and birds which are
endemic to this conservation area. The safari
returns to camp for a late breakfast after

Greater
Kruger National Park
The ever-changing moods of
this land will capture your soul as the day
is once again devoted to exploring this wilderness
area from the back of open 4X4 vehicles or
on foot during the bush walk. The lesser creatures
of the land, though not as well known contribute
as much to the ecosystem. Great delight can
often be found from witnessing these creatures
as they go about their daily routines. All
life and the delicate balance that exists
between them are protected in this area which
is a treasure over which we should be wise
custodians.

Kwa Zulu Natal and are protected at Phinda.
