For many, guiding is more than a job—it’s a passion. But what does a typical day look like for a Kruger National Park safari guide?
Early Mornings and Bush Breakfasts:
Guides often start before dawn, prepping the vehicle and briefing guests. The first game drive begins with the sunrise, often followed by coffee and rusks in the wild.
Tracking and Teaching:
Throughout the day, guides track animals, share fascinating facts, and ensure the safety of their group. Every drive is different and full of surprises.
Back at Base:
After a midday break, it’s time for another drive or a walking safari. At night, guides catch up on reports, rest, and prepare for another day in the bush.
Being a safari guide is demanding but deeply rewarding. Their passion is what makes each guest’s Kruger experience unforgettable.
