LION ROAR SAFARIS | Book an affordable safari in the Kruger National Park South Africa

Spring Day 01/09/2018

Happy Spring Day!

Spring has certainly sprung here in sunny South Africa. September marks the beginning of the beautiful season Spring. We wave farewell to cold winter mornings and say hello to warmer, brighter and much sunnier days.  Whoop, Whoop!

Out with the dreary winter wardrobe and in with the sexy summer fashion. Don’t forget the Khaki’s…it’s Safari Time..!

During Spring season the bush literally comes alive. The feeling is quite tangible, as bees buzz and flowers bloom, lining the air with a sweet aroma of new blossoms. An excitingly beautiful time indeed!

As the expectations of the summer rains grow, the bush starts to thicken up and grow denser as we creep towards summer. End of August, beginning of September you can expect the Silver Cluster leave tree to bear its green leaves again, welcoming the start of Spring. You can also start expecting the knob-thorn and African weeping wattle to flower.

Despite the new growth and the bush thickening up, it still makes for great game viewing. This is due to the fact that the vegetation is still relatively thin making game viewing easier.  This is only one of the many reasons why Spring season is the perfect time to visit the Kruger National Park.

Lastly and most importantly, or let me say, we saved the best for last. Yes, spring season also marks the start of baby season in the Kruger National Park. Many species will give birth once the first rains arrive.  Then it is time for cuteness overload…

So if this wasn’t convincing enough to come on safari with us in the Kruger National Park, you will certainly miss out on superb game viewing, ice cold South African beers at the pool side and late night BBQ’s in front of a crackling fire.

What are you waiting for? Pack your bags, book your flights! It is Safari Time…!

Fantastic experience

We really enjoyed our safari with Liz and the web photographer. They pointed out many sightings which we would never have seen on our own. We saw 3 leopards, many elephants, rhinos, cape buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, hippos and different types of antelopes and birds.
They provided binoculars which helped a lot, especially when observing the leopards in the reed!
The service is top: on time, friendly, very informative and you get a feeling how much they enjoy “going the extra mile” for the customer. They tried to keep ahead of the crowd and do not enter thru Numbi gate which is usually very crowded. Its great the park fee is included in the price because then you do not need to queue at the entrance like in the case of some of the other operators. We will definitely recommend you!

Emocional experience

When we thought about that trip, my wife, my stepson, our friend and I ,had never imagined how amazing could be , and how deep can touch us. From the first moment when we founded Lizelle, our guide at the Malelane door, the magic begins to happen.She was so unreal in some way, that my wife said ( in Portuguese,) she seems to be a caracter from a movie!, We had very good luck , and in just 2 full days, 20 hours total, we could see the real big five, including black rhino and leopard, and many many other species, of course. Lizelle was so nice, so professional and so dedicated that we are recommended to our friends around the World to do the same program.. .. we will repeat it for sure. There is not words, not video or pictures, that can transmit this experience, .. believe me, after you live it you will understand it .

Super accommodating and informative.
Liz was super patient in making sure we get the morning bush walk and night drive within limited dates. They know lots about every animal we saw. I love that they provide parkas for their guests because it gets super chilly as the truck moves. Their truck is clean and not loud like other trucks which tend to scare the animals away.

Leading Safari Company

Lion Roar Safaris offers safaris in Kruger Park. In an excellent car and with professional equipment we discovered in a small groupe the big 5. The guide was an expert and is very customer oriented.

Spectacular day in the Mighty Kruger!

Even if the weather was cold during the day, the spectacular sightings we had made up for it all. Luckily this company is not one of those that rush from one big sighting to another but rather take it at a slower pace and therefore not miss even the small things like some bird species and trees and plants, lizards and much more.
Oh and I am so glad their Photographer was also on board with her very sharp eye sight. She spotted plenty of animals where the rest of us missed them…especially that Cheetah! And she took the most beautiful pictures (and some short videos clips) of all our sightings that day. We were surely one lucky group of people seeing all those magnificent wildlife, especially the Elephant Calves, Wild Dogs as well as Hyena Pups!
Oh and let’s not forget the snack bags that was packed for us!!
The Guide was very informative and interactive with our group. Evidently her kindness and helpfulness is not only restricted to the time a guest is on her vehicle still busy on the Tour but even helping when one of our group members was staying over at a place in the Kruger Park, she assisted him from booking in at the camp to taking him to where he would be staying, to briefly showing him around on what is where and available to him in the camp. And this all took merely a few minutes.
I would definitely be recommending Lion Roar Safaris.
