Kruger & Kwazulu Safari
Short but sweet - This trip takes in the very best of the Kruger Park, Swaziland and KwaZulu Natal. Perfect for those with less time, but who still want to see as much as possible of stunning South Africa. We start our safari by making our way to the beautiful undulating landscape of the Mpumalanga province where the awesome Kruger National Park offers the opportunity to experience close encounters with Elephant, Lion, Rhino and Buffalo in their natural, unfenced environment. Next up is the Kingdom of Swaziland, and beautiful World Heritage Site of St Lucia. The safari then concludes in the seaside town of Umhlanga, Durban, where the warm Indian Ocean & beaches provide the perfect setting to end this adventure experience.
DAY 1 – Pretoria
Today is at leisure to enjoy all that the Jacaranda city has to offer. Clients are to meet at Arcadia hotel at 18h30pm for the pre-departure meeting. Here you will meet your crew and fellow travellers. (NM) HOTEL
DAY 2 – Graskop (390 km)
We leave Pretoria early this morning to make our way to the beautiful undulating landscape of the Mpumalanga province. We stop off at various viewpoints along the scenic Panorama Route – including the famous “God’s Window” where the magnificent views abound. (B) CHALET
DAY 3 – Kruger National Park (250 km)
After viewing some more of the area’s magnificent scenery, we head for the famous Kruger National Park and our first game driving experience. We enter the park in the late afternoon as the day is cooling and begin our search for some of the park’s famous inhabitants. After our game viewing, we head back to our “camp” where the viewing deck affords spectacular views of the river and opportunities to see the animals as they approach in the early evening to quench their thirst. (B) LUXURY TENT
DAY 4 – Kruger National Park
The best time to see the game is early morning and late afternoon as most animals tend to rest in the hotter hours of the day. We begin our day on a game drive and explore the surrounding area – if we are lucky, we may spot some of Africa’s big 5! We relax during the heat of the day and go out on a second game drive in the late afternoon to find those animals which have thus far eluded us. (B) LUXURY TENT
DAYS 5 – Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary – Swaziland (250 km)
We set out early this morning and bid farewell to the Kruger region. We make our way south to the lesser known Kingdom of Swaziland, where after border formalities; we can fully appreciate the panoramic views of this ‘tiny’ country. This afternoon we have the opportunity to explore some of the options available at Mlilwane. These include walks, bicycle rides and horse riding excursions. Mlilwane was the first of Swaziland’s wildlife refuges and is home to many species of antelope and resident bird-life. (B / L) CHALET
DAY 6 – St. Lucia (415 km)
The town of St Lucia lies nestled between the warm Indian Ocean and a fresh water Estuary. This estuary is home to a wide variety of local bird-life and numerous pods of resident hippo and crocodiles make this unsafe for swimming – but offer a great opportunity for sightings when explored by boat. Enjoy the sunset over this striking backdrop while on the lagoon boat cruise. (B) LODGE
DAY 7 – St. Lucia
Today we have the option to explore the nearby Hluhluwe/Umfolozi National Park or simply relax at the beach & in the charming town of St. Lucia.
