You will get up early to be ready at 05:30 (when predators like lions, leopards, cheetahs, and hyenas are most active) for a full-day safari into Kruger National Park. The exact departure times will be communicated to you the night before as it will be decided according to animal activity at the time to give you the best opportunity for game viewing. Your Kruger Park safari will last 7 to 8 hours, so you should be back at the camp with enough time to relax before dinner by the fire.

Fantastic experience

5.00I had a great time in Dumela. Ian was always very helpful when it came to any questions around the program, the food or about Krüger and South Africa in general. He was also often sitting with the guests and we had good and entertaining talks about all kind of topics. The camp was great. Tents are spacious and clean with hot shower. In the evenings Ian put a camp fire and we enjoyed sitting under the stars. There is also a pool to refresh on hot days. I was out in Krüger twice with two different guides, Clement and Evans. Both were very good spotting animals and explaining about the wildlife in the park. The tour with Evans was way longer than expected and we could enjoy the wildlife a bit longer - thank you for this extra effort. The panorama tour was also very nice, whereas I probably would have stayed at some of the places a bit longer to enjoy more the beautiful nature. Thank you very much to the whole MoAfrica team at the Dumela Camp for this great experience!

5.00I took the 5-day Kruger tour. Everything was fine. The transfers were all on time and without any problems. On the tour of Kruger Park, Eddie, the Happy Chappy, was really great. He is a very good guide and kept us all interested throughout the tour, always searching for animals. The people at Damula Tent Camp were also very nice and helpful.
A unique and incredible experience

5.00I stayed 5 days / 4 nights at Dumela Tended Camp. The place is spectacular, a camp in a private reserve where you feel like you are totally in a real safari experience. There are animals all around and you can hear them during the night. All the staff are very nice and friendly. I would like to highlight the cook (I don't remember her name) but all the traditional African food she prepared was delicious and she was always on top of everything. As for the activities, the Sunset Game Drive that takes place in a private reserve on the first day is a good opportunity to see some of the most difficult animals to find in the Kruger, in my case rhinos. The two full days in the Kruger were wonderful. During the two days my guide was Gustaf, a very friendly and experienced guy. He cared about which animals each of us would like to see and we didn't stop until we found them. Gustaf has a great passion for his work and you can feel his enthusiasm when we find unusual animals. It is very nice to have such a person as a guide. He was also my guide during the Panorama Route. A real pleasure to have met him. As an extra activity on the last day I did the Bush Walk. It is a walk of about an hour around another of the camps managed by MoAfrika. The guide explains some things about the vegetation and it is possible to see some animals. In my opinion it was too short, so I would not repeat it. All in all, an incredible experience and totally recommendable!
