A stay at Sirheni Bushveld Camp promises a memorable wildlife safari in Kruger Park with plenty of bird and game viewing opportunities nearby.
With Sirheni as your base, you’re guaranteed easy access to the northernmost region of the Kruger where you can embark on self-drives or guided drives led by professionals.
If you’d like to save on time, make the most of the latter. The bush-wisdom of the ranger-guides is hard to top and they also know exactly where to locate the most bountiful sightings in the area. These planned excursions depart in the early mornings and late afternoons when it’s not too hot and the animals are most active.
For a more well-rounded wildlife safari in Kruger Park, snap up your spot on one of the bush walks departing Sirheni in the mornings.
These on-foot excursions offer a unique perspective of the South African wilderness without the disruptive hum of a vehicle engine, proving to be particularly ideal for catching up on your bird watching. You’ll track animals by identifying their scat and spoor and get up-close to the unique vegetation that supports a myriad of Kruger creatures.
Go grab your binos and park off at one of the camp’s two game viewing hides. Raised high above the Mphongolo River, you’re guaranteed plenty of drama and excitement as thirsty animals compete over the best drinking spots.
Reported sightings include waterbirds like Rufous-bellied Heron and Whiskered Tern, gentle antelope species like roan, reedbuck and impala, and prominent predators such as black-backed jackal and even the resident leopard.
