Wildlife Safari in Open Vehicle
F.A.Q.
One quirky question and one practical question. Both asked and answered.
Cape Town ranked in 2024 on Food & Wine’s list of best coffee cities in the world. Try Truth Coffee when in the city…or Deluxe Coffeeworks, which now has several shops sprinkled across the city.
Spanning about 7500 square miles, the Kruger National Park is one of the largest game reserves in Africa. The park has paved roads and is accessible to visitors with their own cars which may not be the kind of experience most safari-goers are looking for. Think: Yosemite National Park with families and cars with coolers.
In contrast, private reserves are known for their abundance of wildlife, and often share unguarded borders with the Kruger national park, allowing the animals to roam free. Private reserves focus on quality over quantity, and getting very close to wildlife, with skilled guides tracking the animals’ movements for more intimate and close up encounters in open safari vehicles.
Lodges in private reserves often offer luxurious amenities, as the low number of guests and personalized service create a unique and exclusive atmosphere.
Private reserves often offer night drives as part of the sunset game drive safari activity, which can be an exciting opportunity to see elusive nocturnal creatures. Walking safaris with armed guides allow guests to catch glimpses of the ecosystem and see the wilderness from a different perspective. Additionally, off-roading is allowed, which is not allowed in the Kruger National Park.
