Where Lidwala began. Open-vehicle game drives in the Kruger National Park, the Panorama Route's canyons and waterfalls, and transfers from every Lowveld airport.
Before Cape Town, Lidwala ran safaris, scenic day tours and transfers in Kruger and across Mpumalanga. That team still runs them.
Every drive is offered two ways: a seat on a shared vehicle, or exclusive hire of the whole vehicle for up to 10 guests.
A full day in the park from first light, when the predators are moving, through to mid-afternoon, with a stop at a rest camp for lunch. Departs 05:30 to 16:00 from April to September, and 05:00 to 15:30 from October to March.
The classic dawn drive, back by late morning. Departs 05:30 to 11:30 from April to September, and 05:00 to 11:30 from October to March.
The afternoon into sunset, as the animals come down to drink. Departs 13:00 to 17:30 from May to July, and 14:00 to 18:00 from August to April.
The whole vehicle and guide for your group, on a full-day, morning or afternoon drive. Stop where you like, for as long as you like. Younger children are welcome on private departures.
Valid 1 November 2025 to 31 October 2026. Rates in South African rand.
