The park’s standout tours include a rewarding 9-hour full-day safari (perfect for spotting the park’s famous 600+ elephants and “Big 7”), an extensive 9.5-hour north-south adventure focusing on “Big 5” wildlife, and my personal favorite – an intimate 7-hour game drive complete with a traditional South African barbecue lunch. I especially love the small-group format of the shorter tour, where expert guides provide more personal attention and better wildlife viewing opportunities. Let’s explore the top tour options.
