Guided bush walks
The bush, on foot
Some parts of the bush are better understood on foot. The focus shifts from searching for large animals to reading the landscape: spoor, bird calls, indigenous trees and plants, insects and the smaller signs easily missed from a vehicle.
Routes vary with conditions and may move towards the Crocodile River and the Kruger boundary, where wildlife can sometimes be seen across the river. Guided walks in the Kruger or Lionspruit can also be arranged where available.
Options
- Marloth Park walks
- Cooler morning or afternoon hours
- At additional cost
- Complimentary in Bush Bliss
Walks are subject to guide availability.
Into the Kruger
Into the southern Kruger
Most Leriti safaris explore the southern Kruger National Park. Crocodile Bridge Gate, around 25 minutes from the lodge, is our usual starting point and is well placed for early departures. Malelane Gate, around 35 minutes away, is used when the route, recent sightings or the plans for the day make it the better option.
Your field guide chooses the final route according to conditions, sightings and your interests. Gates can be busier over weekends and holidays, so entry may take a little longer. If you plan your own park visit, check the latest SANParks gate times before you travel.

Questions about safaris
Which Kruger gate does Leriti usually use?
Crocodile Bridge Gate is our usual starting point for southern Kruger safaris. Malelane Gate may be used when the route, recent sightings or the plans for the day make it the better option.
Is a Classic Safari private?
No. A Classic Safari is shared with other guests in an open safari vehicle. For your group alone, book a private safari vehicle (up to 10 guests) or the Expedition Safari (up to 3 guests).
Are Kruger conservation fees included in the safari rates?
No. Safari prices do not include Kruger National Park conservation and entry fees. These are charged per day according to the SANParks tariff for South African residents, SADC nationals and international visitors.
What about breakfast on a morning safari?
After a sunrise drive, breakfast is waiting at the lodge when you return. On a half-day morning drive, you take a breakfast box with you.
Can children join a Kruger safari?
Children aged 12 and older may join shared open-vehicle safaris. Younger children can join a privately booked safari vehicle with their parents or guardians. Guests under 16 stay at Leriti by prior arrangement or as part of a Private Reserve stay.
Where do guided bush walks take place?
In Marloth Park, in the cooler morning or afternoon hours. Walks are at additional cost and subject to guide availability, and one is complimentary in the Bush Bliss package.
Will we see the Big Five?
The Big Five live in the Kruger National Park, and our guides go where conditions and recent sightings suggest. Sightings are never guaranteed, which is part of what makes each drive different.
