Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre is focused on the rehabilitation and care of rare species. The centre is a privately run operation and gives guests an educational experience about rare species. Guests will also be educated on the realities facing these creatures. This is a fantastic experience for those wanting to learn more about species that are under threat. Guests will be collected at the set departure time and travel directly to the Centre. Once the tour is completed, guests will be returned to the same collection point.

Guests will be met by their professional guide and open safari vehicle at a designated collection point. (If guests would like to be collected directly from their accommodation, they are requested to discuss this option with the Matumi Team prior to the safari) The vehicle will then depart for the Kruger National Park and the adventure begins! This is a full day excursion (The Kruger Park Full Day Safari will have an estimated duration of 10.5 to 11 hours) and so there will be multiple stops throughout the day for refreshments and for guests to have a break from sitting in the vehicle. Being in an open safari vehicle gives guests the opportunity to view many animals, including the Big 5, up close. Guests will be taken to a main rest camp at lunchtime where they have access to all the camp facilities and can purchase food and beverages. Once the safari has concluded, guests will be taken back to the original designated collection point.

One of the best ways to experience the Kruger National Park is to do a multiple day safari inside the park. This gives guests the full experience of Kruger’s magnificence and vastness.
