A Bucket-List Adventure
Spend a full day immersed in one of Africa’s most legendary wildlife destinations, Kruger National Park. With over 2 million hectares of untamed bush, Kruger is home to an astonishing variety of wildlife, including the Big 5, over 500 bird species, and countless other natural wonders.
Your adventure begins early in the morning with departure from a designated collection point in Hoedspruit. If you’d prefer to be collected directly from your accommodation, please contact the Matumi Team ahead of time to make arrangements.
Traveling in an open safari vehicle, you’ll be guided by one of our expert, accredited nature guides who knows Kruger’s roads, waterholes, and wildlife hotspots like the back of their hand. As the bush awakens, you’ll have prime opportunities to spot lions on the move, elephants grazing, or leopards lounging in the trees.
Throughout the day, we’ll explore diverse ecosystems across the park, stopping at rest camps for comfort breaks and meals. You’ll enjoy a picnic breakfast in the bush and have the option to purchase lunch at one of Kruger’s scenic rest stops (meals not included unless otherwise specified).
This full-day safari offers an unmatched opportunity to witness Africa’s iconic wildlife and raw beauty at your own pace, without the rush, and with plenty of time to explore the magic of Kruger.
At the end of your unforgettable day, we’ll return to the original meeting point, leaving you with lasting memories and a deeper connection to the African wilderness.

Something to consider when choosing a safari is the impact your choice can have on the environment.
Matumi Destinations’ vehicles are designed to comfortably seat up to ten guests per safari. What is important to note is that by choosing this as an option it means less vehicle traffic per guest group, which then has a far lighter footprint per person entering the park. This has positive benefits at sightings, on the animals themselves and on the National Park infrastructure. By choosing a Kruger Park Full Day Safari with Matumi Destinations, you will not only have an incredible personal experience but you are helping in your own way to encourage a more sustainable safari.
*Matumi Destinations can provide binoculars for rental during our safaris. Please feel free to enquire regarding this or choose this as an optional extra on our online booking system.
