This tour departs early (around 5AM) on day one. It is highly recommended that you spend the night before the tour in Johannesburg. We are able to book you accommodation at our safe, exclusive Jo'Burg Lodge- just ask us at time of booking.
You'll love the comfy permanent tents, and great pool and bar area.
On day 1 we travel from Johannesburg to the Manyeleti Game Reserve in Greater Kruger - a prime Big 5 area sharing unfenced borders with Kruger (approx 10hours + total travel time, 650KM) . We head to the unfenced Pungwe Safari Camp in open game-viewing vehicle, game spotting as we go.
Arriving mid afternoon , refreshments are served and we settle into their accommodation.. The resident Field Guide will brief guests on the activities for the next 4 days. Depart on a late afternoon early evening game viewing drive. The drive lasts approximately 2 to 3 hours and return to camp for dinner. After dinner guests can relax around the camp fire and listen to the African Bush Nightlife or even the study the Magnificent Southern Constellation.
Meals included: Lunch, Dinner
Overnight: Our accommodation for the next three nights is permanent safari tents under thatched or rubberized canvas roofs on raised wooden platforms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. The tents sleep two people per tent on comfortable stretcher beds with mattresses. Bedding and towels are provided.
Days 2-3 Greater Kruger National Park
Early morning wake up call. Warm refreshments and light snacks are served around the camp fire where the guide will also brief us on trail conduct before commencing with the walking safari. All safaris are led by an experienced armed guide and assisted by a tracker who has an intimate knowledge of the bush and the surroundings. A walking trail normally lasts anything up to 3 hours but depending on what is encountered on the Trail, perhaps the fresh spoor of a Rhino or Lion will get everyone so excited that it could last much longer than planned.
This activity relies heavily on the guests willingness and ability to follow animals at a pace which sometimes could become rather hectic. Nothing can prepare one for that rush of adrenaline when after a few hours of tracking an Elephant one is suddenly faced with an eyeball to eyeball confrontation with this giant of the African bush. Extreme care is always exercised by the Guide when tracking any form of wildlife and under no circumstances is a guest’s safety willingly compromised.
Return to camp mid morning for an invigorating hot shower or bath and then onto a scrumptious brunch served under the Lapa.
Mid Day is normally a resting period when we can take a nap or just laze around in our rooms or under the Lapa where a bottomless cup of Tea or Coffee is always available.
In the afternoon, we are off on anther guided game walk (approx. 2-3 hours) followed by sundowners. Embarking on our evening guided game drive, we again employ spotlights to search for movements of predators hunting through the dark hours. Tonight, enjoy another delicious dinner in the great African outdoors.
Due to the late breakfast no formal lunch is served. However, shortly before departing on the afternoon walk / evening game drive light refreshments will be served. The afternoon walk / evening game drive lasts for approximately 4 hours and returning to camp at approximately 2000 for dinner
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Day 4 Johannesburg
We enjoy one last sunrise guided game walk after which we sit down for another hearty breakfast before departing Pungwe for the onward journey.
This morning we transfer back to Johannesburg, arriving in the late afternoon (approx. 8-9 Hours total travel time, 650KM).
