Day 1.
We depart from your hotel in Johannesburg and head straight into the Kruger National Park. Our first night will be spent at the Lower Sabie Camp over looking the Sabie River.
Day 2.
We continue through the park towards Satara, which will be our next stopover, but not before traveling through an area reputed for having the highest concentration of lions in the world.
Day 3 & 4.
We leave the public section of Kruger and make our way to the Timbavati area, where we will spend the next two nights. Once in the Timbavati, the change is dramatic. Game viewing is done in open safari vehicles and the camp size is so small (24 guests), it feels more like home than a rest camp. Nothing is fenced off so it is not uncommon to have Hyena coming into camp to try wash the dishes after supper. Sightings are close, as the 4x4 game viewers go off road to view animals like Lion, Leopard, Buffalo, Rhino, Elephant, Cheetah and Wild Dog.
A highlight is the sunset drives, where we depart from camp at about 15h00 and stop for drinks and some snacks just before sunset to recharge us for the night drive, which commences as soon as the sun is down and everybody is ready. We return to camp for supper (about 19h00), but this depends on what we see. If we come across something special like Lion on a hunt, then supper can wait.
Day 5.
We give you a choice of either continuing game viewing for the morning, or we have a very short morning drive and then head off to view the Panorama Route. This is a longer route back to Johannesburg, but offers views of the Blyde River Canyon from places with names as good as the actual views, like God's Window and Three Rondavels. Either way we return to Johannesburg where we will be happy to drop you off at your hotel or if necessary at the airport.
This tour is fully inclusive and offers at least 2 meals a day, along with many "snack stops". Other than the game viewing in Timbavati the tour is done in an air-conditioned vehicle.
Birding can be incorporated into this tour. We have one of the countries best bird guides (one of six), available to do this tour for you should you be a keep birder. Please feel free to request a list of special birds we could find for you on this tour.
All the tours we offer are perfectly suited to be the ideal family holiday. As we do not mix groups together you don’t have to worry about loud or over active children getting in the way of anybody else. Our guides understand that tours with children need to be handled a little differently! On request we can even provide prams, car seats and booster seats for very young children.
