This safari is an ideal option for those looking to experience safari game drives to observe the famous big five: elephant, rhinoceros, lion, leopard, and buffalo, while enjoying authentic African hospitality and delicious cuisine at your lodge-style hotel.
Day 1: Johannesburg to Kruger National Park
Begin your journey through some of the most picturesque areas of eastern South Africa, heading to a 4-star lodge-style hotel which is nestled in a serene riverine woodland with majestic African trees, offering luxury accommodations near Kruger National Park for couples, families, and groups.
The drive lasts 5 to 6 hours, allowing you to unwind and enjoy the South African landscape. Alternatively, you can inquire about flying.
Upon arrival at your lodge, set off on a 3-hour sunset safari drive in an open vehicle.
Sunset drives start before dusk and conclude after sunset, lasting about three hours. Look for grazers in the cool afternoon and predators as they begin their nightly hunts. Sunset is when nocturnal animals become active, offering a perfect chance to witness the bush's transformation from day to night. Learn about the local flora and fauna from our expert guides and return to camp with a spotlight night drive.
Upon your return, enjoy a lavish fireside feast in the Lapa, featuring a variety of local and international dishes for a relaxed three-course buffet dinner. Options include casserole, potjiekos, curry, roast meat, pescatarian, vegetarian, and children's dishes, along with vegetable sides, sauces, and condiments.
Day 2: Full-day safari game drive
Embark on a guided safari lasting over 10 hours, allowing you to explore deeper into Kruger National Park and increasing your chances of exciting wildlife sightings. While seeing all of the Big 5 in one day is rare, a full-day safari offers your best opportunity.
Return to your lodge for another fireside feast in the Lapa. You can also explore more of the lodge's amenities:
Spa treatments at an African Spa
an Outdoor Pool
a Fitness Centre
