Day 1: Johannesburg to Kruger National Park
Today our adventure begins by leaving Johannesburg around 7:30 and 8:30 (exact times to be confirmed closer to safari). As we travel, we pass some of the most beautiful scenery of South Africa along the way. From beautiful open fields to luscious green mountain landscapes. Our journey takes us through the highveld towards the stunning lowveld. We stop in this time to have something to eat (own expense) and get a chance to stretch our legs.
Once we reach the camp, we are welcomed by the team and shown to our accommodations. The Sabi River Lodge is conveniently located near Sabi Sand Game Reserve and 6km from the Paul Kruger Gate. An excellent location, expect to see wildlife on the foot steps of the camp. We have some time to unwind and soak in the magnificent South African bushveld around us as we get comfortable in our meru-style luxury tents.
After a short relaxation time we commence on our first Big 5 game drive, experienced and qualified guides will take us on open 4x4 specially adapted game viewing vehicles to explore the world famous Kruger National Park. Have your cameras ready as we never know what sightings await us.
Once we have enjoyed our game drive, we return to the Lodge for dinner. Tonight, we have our dinner in a specially designed dining area that affords us to experience a traditional South African meal set surrounded by open bush and a starlit sky.
Meals: Dinner
Included Highlight: Kruger Park open vehicle game drive - afternoon
Day 2: Kruger National Park to Johannesburg
This morning, the golden hour, we wake up to the wildlife sounds of the serene African bush – a wonderful experience. We all gather together for a delicious cup of tea or coffee and safari snacks before we embark on our last game drive in the park. We have the chance to tell our guide of what we would still like to see in the Kruger Park. Sightings can’t always be guaranteed but it’s useful to let the guide know.
We spend the morning exploring the Kruger National Park and return to the Lodge for a cold and hot breakfast. After breakfast we greet the team at the Lodge and we begin our 6 – 7 hour trip back, stopping half way to enjoy some lunch (own expense).
Please note the arrival time in Johannesburg can not be guaranteed and therefore we kindly advise guests to stay the night and book flights for the following day.
Meals: Breakfast
Included Highlight: Kruger Park open game drive - morning
