Free Day near Kruger
Kruger and Nelspruit, South Africa
About This Activity
Use a free day in the Kruger area to linger longer in the bush. Join a walking safari with an armed ranger (bookable through SANParks), do another self-drive loop through a different section of the park, visit the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre to see cheetah conservation up close, or explore the Lowveld markets and craft stalls near Hazyview. The Sabie River valley to the west produces excellent timber and offers scenic drives through pine and eucalyptus plantations.
