Why Sundowners Are a Must on Safari
There’s no better way to end a day in Kruger than with a sundowner stop—a safari tradition where you pause to enjoy a drink while watching the sunset over the African bush.
The Perfect Way to Unwind
After a long day of wildlife sightings, a sundowner allows you to relax, reflect, and soak in the beauty of the bush.
Stunning Sunset Views
The Kruger sunset paints the sky in shades of gold, orange, and pink, making it the ideal backdrop for an unforgettable moment.
A Chance to Listen to the Bush at Dusk
As the sun sets, the sounds of the bush change. The distant roar of a lion, the call of a nightjar, and the rustling of nocturnal animals make for a magical experience.
