Day 1: A Culinary and Wilderness Affair

Cooking with a Potjie Pot in the Kruger Park
  • From our home to the wild: Our journey begins at Kruger Park Hostel.
  • A breakfast with a view: Enjoy the dawn at the tranquil Mlondozi Picnic Site. While relishing your breakfast, be serenaded by the symphonies of nature.
  • Lunch & culinary delights: Tshokwane Trading Post & Picnic Site awaits by noon. Here, you'll not only feast on delicious food but also learn to cook traditional meals, capturing the essence of African flavors.
  • A night beneath the stars: As the evening descends upon the vast expanse of the Kruger, the Satara Rest Camp, often dubbed the "cat camp," welcomes you. This prime spot is renowned for its high probability of witnessing the majestic lions, elusive leopards, and swift cheetahs. Nestled within a rich grassland habitat teeming with diverse game, your nighttime retreat here promises not just a canopy of stars overhead but also the thrilling possibility of drifting off to the distant roars and calls of Africa's iconic big cats. Sleep in tents and immerse yourself in the heart of the wild.

Day 2: Nature’s Classroom and Culinary Lessons

Game Viewing in the Kruger Park
  • Morning in nature's lap: Breakfast at the Timbavati Picnic Site provides both nourishment and peace.
  • Lunch with a twist: At the Muzandzeni Picnic Spot, alongside a delightful meal, you'll once again don the chef's hat, preparing traditional dishes with our expert chefs.
  • Whispers of the wild: The evening will see you at the Maroela Camp, where the sounds of the jungle serve as your lullaby.

Day 3: The Grand Finale

  • A morning to remember: Begin your day at the Muzandzeni Picnic Spot, with flavors that linger and views that mesmerize.
  • Choose your culinary adventure: At Skukuza, lunch is on your own terms. Explore local offerings or perhaps whip up a dish you've learned?
  • Homeward Bound: As the sun sets, we'll journey back to Kruger Park Hostel, ending our expedition, but not the memories.
