3 nights/4 days Kruger Park Birding Safari

The Secrets VIP birding safari experience is a custom-made offering for bird lovers and ornithologists of all levels. We offer luxury birding safaris in Kruger Park at affordable rates.

Your skilled birding safari guide will focus on the wealth of bird species with which the Kruger Park is blessed. Our 3 nights/4 day safari will include guided safari game drives in search for among other, the ‘Birding Big Six’ , in many ways, as majestic as the Big Five. They consist of the Martial eagle, Kori bustard, Ground hornbill, Pel's fishing owl, Lapped-faced vulture and Saddle-billed stork. Your guide will focus on routes featuring birding hotspots such as the waterholes, picnic sites, riverine bird hides, and the banks of the famous 3 rivers that run through the southern section of Kruger Park.

The early morning or afternoon guided wilderness walk with our guide and Kruger Park ranger will be a highlight.  

Up to eight guests are taken on this safari. The walk itself is relaxed and experienced and armed guides use their knowledge of the bush to explain its natural wonders. The trained field guides (with backup rifles) will also track rhino, elephant and lion on foot and share fascinating facts about the African bush.

You can also request a private birding safari which can be tailor-made to you or your party’s exact needs based on number of guests, group interests, budget and suitable itinerary. Our private safari tours ensure that time is all yours and you can indulge in birding, enjoy the wildlife and optimize photographic opportunities. Our private safari tours are ideal for those who like independence and flexibility as there are no other tour participants to take into consideration. Your dedicated professional guide will escort you on all your daily activities ensuring the personal attention expected from a private safari.
