When you don’t just want to observe wildlife, you want to be part of it, join this immersive safari adventure in South Africa’s legendary Kruger National Park. Here, we stay in tented suites during the dry season, when the vegetation thins and animals congregate around waterholes – the ideal conditions for wildlife watching. During the day, join expert guides to scour the bush for iconic safari animals; at night, dine under the brilliant Milky Way, before falling asleep in a glamping-style canvas tent to the sounds of the savannah.
