Reasons to choose a guided-game drive
One of the most popular, educational and adventure-filled Kruger activities is a guided-game drive. Seeing and hearing the animals up close, in their natural habitat, and learning all about the Kruger flora and fauna, the reasons for so many things you would otherwise take for granted… it’s no wonder it is deemed the ultimate safari experience!
Why choose a guided Kruger game drive?
Having a knowledgeable guide show you the hidden gems of the Kruger as well as teach you unique facts about the wilderness around you, is an unmatched Kruger experience. Each time you go on a guided-game drive you learn something new – these guides are walking encyclopaedias!
Guides are given exclusive access to restricted roads where the opportunity to see remarkable game sightings is better than from the busy road. It also means you get a more ‘one-on-one’ experience with the African bushveld… perk after perk!
Being in an open-game vehicle, with no windows, means you can take in all the unique smells. You are also raised up above the normal driving eye-level allowing you to see further into the bushveld.
In saying this, it is a good idea to have a bag with you ~ packed with a hat, jacket sunscreen, insect repellent, sunglasses, a bottle of water, your valuables and your binoculars (DON’T forget these important goggles!!). It is also advised that you pack some snacks for your adventure, or even better, full yourself up with a nourishing and tasty packed breakfast or snack pack from Bushveld Terrace Hotel. You don’t want your hunger pangs to dampen your memory making experience!
Comfort is key when on a game drive so wear clothes that you are most comfortable in. You don’t want to be worrying about your skinny jeans cutting off blood circulation to your feet while trying to spot the abundant Kruger wildlife.
You are spoilt for choice on guided-game drives when staying at Bushveld Terrace Hotel… You have the option of a morning or sunset drive, a half-day or full-day experience or even a night drive (which we highly recommend!!). You can book your guided-game drive directly through Bushveld Terrace Hotel for an easy and stress-free service. Being positioned a mere 200m from the Phalaborwa Gate into the Kruger National Park, there is no need to drive to your game vehicle – you will be fetched and dropped off right here at the Hotel.
