On these tours we spend time in the northern areas of the Kruger Park. As this is the dry season animals tend to congregate near areas of water, which attracts the predators such as lions. We may also be lucky and encounter the rare Eland and Roan Antelope.


The tours are restricted to six guests and will therefore provide an exceptional photographic experience. (Non-photographic guests are welcome but the group will not exceed 6 guests.)
