Itinerary:
Day 1 Southern Kruger Park
We depart Johannesburg, the city of Gold and head off on an adventure of a lifetime. A truly unique African experience unfolds as we enter the Kruger Park via one of the Southern gates. The Park is home to 150 species of mammal, including Africa’s famed Big Five. The staggering 507 bird species, plus the wide variety of insects, reptiles and amphibians make this the ultimate wildlife experience. We board open safari vehicles and enjoy our first exciting game drive en-route to our camp, taking in the sheer beauty of the African bush along the way. After settling into camp, we enjoy a bushveld dinner around the campfire before venturing out into the bush as we track the creatures of the night on a late evening game drive. (D)

Day 2 Central Kruger Park
An early rise as we depart our camp at first light. Our game drive takes us to some of the best game drive routes within the Kruger Park, giving us the opportunity to view the varied landscapes, ecosystems and abundant wildlife. The entire day is spent game viewing, bird watching and stopping off at the various waterholes en-route to our Northern camp. We arrive in time to freshen up before we head out on a Big 5 Game Walk or a Big Five Cycling Safari through the Kruger Park. These activities are accompanied by armed Kruger Park Rangers and give us the opportunity to experience the real Kruger. After an adventure filled day we return to camp and are greeted with the aroma of traditional bushveld cooking as we enjoy a braai (barbeque) around a log fire. Kindly note clients not wanting to take part in the walk or cycle safari will have the opportunity to undertake an open vehicle game drive. (BD)

Day 3 Private Lodge South Africa
Up at daybreak, we discover more of the Kruger’s amazing ecosystems on an early morning game drive. We enjoy breakfast at one of the picnic sites within the Park before continuing our game drive en-route through the Kruger. We then make our way out of the Park and head for a Private Safari Lodge in time for lunch. With the ever present views of the Drakensberg Escarpment in sight, we make our way to the Blyde River Canyon and enjoy a guided sunset cruise through the Canyon. We return to the Lodge, where we spend the rest of the evening at leisure. After an action packed day, we enjoy a traditional boma dinner around a log fire. This evening, we also have the opportunity to learn about the stars of the African skies with a guided star talk. (BD)

Day 4 Johannesburg South Africa
An early rise as we head out on a morning bush walk. Guided by qualified rangers, we learn about nature’s finer details like bird, tree and spoor identification. After breakfast, we depart the Lodge and our journey takes us through the Mpumalanga Province as we travel along the Drakensberg Escarpment to view the spectacular setting of the Three Rondawels overlooking the Blyde River Canyon. We then continue our journey en-route to Johannesburg, arriving in the late afternoon. (B)
