Seasonal Wildlife Highlights on Kruger Park Safari Tours
The New Year brings unique opportunities to witness the beauty of nature during one of the most active periods in the Kruger National Park. Here’s what you can look forward to on our Kruger Park Safari Tours:
- Baby Season: The summer months mark the arrival of newborns, such as impalas, zebras, and wildebeests. Witnessing these young animals taking their first steps in the wild is a heartwarming and rare experience.
- Birdwatching Paradise: The New Year coincides with the height of the birdwatching season. Migratory species add vibrant colours and enchanting calls to the bush, making it a haven for bird enthusiasts and photographers.
- Predator Activity: With an abundance of prey, predators such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards are more active. Spotting a predator on the prowl or lounging in the shade is a thrilling highlight of any safari tour.
