I T I N E R A R Y
DAY 1:
Early morning (before 09:00) you are picked up from the airport or your hotel. Soon you leave the concrete jungle behind as you travel across the eastern Highveld towards Mpumalanga. The first two hours of your journey takes you past maize fields, grasslands, coal mines, power stations to the edge of the escarpment. As you decent down the escarpment you can sense the change in climate and see the vegetation changing. At Nelspruit you will pass through the subtropical Lowveld region and continue to Kruger Park.
After check-in at the park's entry gate you are straight onto our first game drive. This short game drive brings you to your restcamp - your home for the next three days.
You have time to unpack, relax, put your feet up or scout the camp environment. Mid afternoon is time for your next game drive - search for Giraffe, Kudu, Zebra, etc.... and yes the BIG 5: Lion, Elephant, Rhino, Leopard and Buffalo.
Back at the restcamp you enjoy a sundowner drink, listen to the sounds of the African Bush. After a multi course restaurant dinner you can enjoy the stars that fill the African sky before heading to bed.
Overnight: Kruger National Park Restcamp.
Meals: Dinner.
DAY 2:
Today is a full day Safari! As you travel through the park your guide will share his knowledge about the history of the park, animals - big and small, birds and other creatures found in the park.
REMEMBER: Because of the small groups you will almost have an one-on-one experience with your guide - he will share many years' knowledge about the African bush.
Breakfast will be at a rest camp or picnic spot inside the park after which you continue your game drive.
Around mid-day you will have a well deserved stop for lunch - the restaurants at the rest camps offer a large variety. Your choice to enjoy a buffet or only a take away.
After lunch you will have a short siesta before you continue with your afternoon game drive. You visit some waterholes, scenic stops and vista viewpoints - the ideal opportunity to take that picture that show the wide plains of Africa.
As the sun set in the west you will return to camp. A sumptuous dinner bring this exiting day to a close.
Overnight: Kruger National Park Restcamp.
Meals: Breakfast & Dinner.
DAY 3:
Another day on safari... Today you follow some other routes - visit different waterholes, see new lookouts and some more of the African bush. Lunch will be at a different rest camp - most likely on the banks of one of the many rivers traversing the park.
Arriving back at camp will be in time for the departure of the night safari. This exciting safari with the guidance of an experienced ranger-guide will be one of the highlights of your African story... With the help of bright search lights you will search the bush for Africa's many nocturnal animals - aardvark, porcupine, caracal, servet, owls, nightjars, etc.
Dinner will be either before or after the night safari - depending on the group.
Overnight: Kruger National Park Restcamp.
Meals: Breakfast & Dinner.
DAY 4:
Your final morning in the bush. Early morning you have a choice of activities - join the early morning game drive / join an open vehicle game drive (cost not included) / relax in the camp visiting the souvineir shop / spotting some birds / read your favourite book. Check-out is after breakfast. You do your last game drive enroute to the exit gate.
Arrival in Johannesburg/Pretoria will be late afternoon or early evening. Your guide will drop you at your hotel.
Overnight: None, but available on request.
Meals: Breakfast.
