1 Night Kruger National Park and 2 Nights Sabi Sand Game Reserve
Day 1: Gauteng – Kruger Park
We depart from Johannesburg between 06h30 – 08h00 to
allow for various collection points. Our route takes us
through the wide open spaces of the Highveld, down the
escarpment and through the scenic Lowveld area. We stop for
lunch en-route (own expense) and reach the Kruger National
Park and Skukuza Rest Camp in the afternoon.
After settling in to our accommodations, we head out on
our first game drive! We conduct all our game drives in
specially adapted 4x4 open game drive vehicles to allow our
guests the best possible vantage point. On our return, we
have some time to visit the Park’s shop, go for a walk &
just familiarizing ourselves with our surroundings.
Dinner is a two course meal, served al fresco at our
private camp. Wine is served with dinner but guests are
welcome to bring along additional / alternative drinks which
can be purchased at the shop. Dinner included
Day
2: Kruger Park – Sabi Sand Game Reserve
After an early wake-up call (the time varies according to
the seasons and park gate opening times) we have tea or
coffee & rusks (dried biscuits to be dunked in your coffee
or tea). Our morning safari will take approximately 3 hours.
Your guide has an intimate knowledge of the park, which
contributes a great deal towards brilliant sightings!
Directly after breakfast at our camp, we head to the
world renowned Sabi Sand Game Reserve in our closed, air
conditioned tour vehicle. We arrive in time for lunch and
have some time to freshen up before departing on your
afternoon game drive in one of the lodge’s open game drive
vehicles. This drive generally takes about 4 hours and tends
to extend into the early evening. The Sabi Sand is
particularly famous for its brilliant sightings of leopard.
Although we cannot guarantee these sightings, your chances
of seeing these magnificent animals are very good!
Dinner is served under the stars (weather permitting).
The day ends with discussions around the open fire about
what you saw today and the plans for tomorrow. Breakfast,
Lunch & dinner included
Day 3: Full day in Sabi Sand
Sabi Sand lodges offer two game drives per day, during
which your experienced game ranger and expert local Shangaan
tracker will share their extensive knowledge and love for
the African bush with you. Due to a carefully planned and
managed habituation process, animals and birds in the
reserve have become used to having the game drive vehicles
in close proximity, without feeling threatened. This allows
us to get really close to them and forms part of the appeal
of the Sabi Sand Game Reserve!
After breakfast guests are welcome to join the morning
walk. The rest of the day is spent at leisure, relaxing in
your room or at the pool. Lunch is served around 14h00
Meal times are a sociable affair, with dinner served
under the stars (weather permitting). Only the freshest
produce is used and this is served with the local wines
which South Africa is famous for. Breakfast, Lunch and
Dinner included
Day 4: Sabi Sand – Panorama Route – Johannesburg
An early wake-up call and coffee signals the start of
your last safari of this journey. One last opportunity to
experience the magic that only the African Bush can offer!
Upon your return breakfast is served. Directly after
breakfast we begin our journey back to Johannesburg. The
final highlight of our safari is exploring the renowned
Panorama Route! Attractions visited include the Blyde River
Canyon, Three Rondavels, Lisbon Waterfalls and Pilgrims
Rest. We stop en-route for lunch (own expense).
The drive back to Johannesburg takes at least 6 hours and
guests are advised to sleep over in Johannesburg on this
night. Breakfast included

Notes
It is important to note that this is not a private safari
and more than likely there will be other guests joining you
on the game drive vehicles, air-conditioned mini bus
transfer vehicles as well as in the dining facility.
The child policies vary from lodge to lodge. Some lodges
do not accept children under 12 at all, while others gladly
accept children but do not allow younger children on the
open game drive vehicles for safety reasons. These lodges
offer babysitting services at a nominal extra charge. Please
be sure to enquire about this before making your
reservation.
Guests flying out of OR Tambo Airport on the last day are
reminded to not book any flights earlier than 19h00
(domestic) or 20h00 (international) in order to give us
enough time to get you to the airport. We recommend that you
rather stay over in Johannesburg if possible. Since we
cannot guarantee our arrival time in Johannesburg on the
last day we will not be held responsible for re-imbursements
of flight tickets, should we arrive later than expected.
Guests flying out of Nelspruit on the last day may,
depending on their flight details, not have enough time to
see the Panorama Route. Private transfers for guests with
early flights can be arranged in advance at an extra charge.
