Kruger Day Tours

While the Kruger National Park does offer up some of the best wildlife safaris on the African continent, there may be a morning or a day where one needs to take a break and do something completely different.

The area surrounding the Kruger offers up a host of activities for all to enjoy.

Below is a listing of Kruger Day tour activities that we at Uyaphi.com can highly recommend, we will customise your Kruger safari plans to get the best out of your stay within the region.

Day Tours In The Kruger

  • Kruger Mountain Bike Trails

    Kruger Mountain Bike Trails

    Full Day or Half Day

    Guided mountain bike trails in the Kruger offers that something a little different for those looking for some other than a safari on foot or by vehicle. A choice of either half or full day trails are available, all trails depart from Olifants Rest Camp in the very south eastern corner of the National Park itself. Highly recommended albeit slightly out of the way.

  • Horse Back Safaris

    Horse Back Safaris

    Full Day or Half Day

    Relaxing on horseback, that’s the plan. It’s a peaceful, laid-back one-hour outride, ideal for everybody from beginners through to the advanced horseman or woman. We’re riding well-trained, home bred polo ponies through the surrounding natural beauty of the 2000 hectare Sandford Conservancy and Game Park, a more peaceful ramble one can’t imagine. Bring the children too – none under 6 years old, however.

  • Jane Goodall Institute

    Jane Goodall Institute

    Half Day

    Fifteen kilometres outside of Nelspruit in a 1000 ha private nature reserve you will find the Jane Goodall Institute South Africa Chimpanzee Sanctuary. The sanctuary is a home of hope, peace and some degree of normality to dozens of traumatised chimpanzees from all over the continent. Chimp Eden offers a unique opportunity to see these Chimpanzees in their semi-wild habitat, offering guided visits three times daily.

  • White Water Rafting

    White Water Rafting

    Full Day or Half Day

    White Water Rafting on the upper Sabie River with the spectacular surrounding scenery and the rush of twenty exhilarating rapids of a 2-3 grading await the adrenalin enthusiast.

  • Kruger Helicopter Tours

    Kruger Helicopter Tours

    Half Day

    Helicopter Tours over the scenic Mpumalanga Lowveld is undoubtedly one of the best ways to experience and photograph the beauty and splendour of this magnificent region. Based in Hazyview, most tours are offered from surrounding lowveld lodges as well as the Sabi Sand Private Game Reserve (and all lodges within). These flights offer the potential for a unique safari experience of the Kruger from above.

  • Visit a Cultural Village

    Visit a Cultural Village

    Half Day

    A safari in South Africa is not complete without a visit to anyone of the numerous cultural villages, and Kruger region is no exception. Get to know the local Shangaan people, their culture, their beliefs, their lifestyles (past and present) and their art work. Spend a few hours or spend the night, this is entirely up to you, but one thing is for sure - you will meet some of the friendliest people in the country.

  • Endangered Wildlife Experience

Flights start at 05h00 in summer and 06:30 in the mid of winter.

  • Kruger Elephant Back Safari

    Kruger Elephant Back Safari

    Full Day or Half Day

    A rare and exciting privilege it is to sit on the back of one of Africa's most graceful animals and explore the bushveld with a commanding view like no other. The sheer size and presence of these elephants is a humbling experience, at the end of the day we all walk away with a better understanding and appreciation of these gentle creatures that have changed our collective lives forever. If you have the time, Elephant Back Safaris come highly recommended.

  • Greater Kruger Family Safari

    Greater Kruger Family Safari

    "How many more sleeps?” this became our son's wake-up call as the days neared his first ‘safari’ to the Greater Kruger National Park.

    James and I had decided to combine a bit of family time with a quick update of the 'family friendly safari lodges' in the greater Kruger area.
