Guided Safari Experiences in Kruger National Park
Discover the Wildlife of Kruger with Experienced Guides
From our riverside location on the banks of the Crocodile River, Buckler’s Africa Lodge provides a convenient base for exploring Kruger National Park. Join our experienced guides on safari and discover the wildlife and landscapes of the southern Kruger. Look out for the Big Five, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras and an incredible variety of birdlife, just to mention a few.
Every drive offers something different, with our guides helping you understand the behaviour, tracks and smaller details that bring the African bush to life.

Morning Safari Drives
Start your day before the bush comes alive and join a guided morning safari into Kruger National Park. Enjoy the cooler morning hours, look for wildlife becoming active and learn more about the animals and landscape from your guide.
Time: 05:00 - 11:30
For any additional information, please enquire with our reservations team.

Afternoon Safari Drives
Head out in the afternoon as the bush changes with the light. Watch wildlife become active again as the day cools, while your guide helps you discover the sights and sounds of Kruger.
Time: 14:00 - 18:00
For any additional information, please enquire with our reservations team.
Look Beyond the Big Five
A safari is about more than ticking animals off a list. With an experienced guide beside you, you begin to notice the details that are easy to miss — tracks in the sand, alarm calls in the trees, a kingfisher along the river or a mongoose disappearing into the grass.
Of course, there may be unforgettable encounters with lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and buffalo. But it is often the smaller moments, changing landscapes and unexpected sightings that make each drive unique.
At Buckler’s Africa Lodge, our guided safari experiences are about taking the time to observe, understand and appreciate the wilderness around you.
