DETAILED ITINERARY:      
       
Day 1 – Mpumalanga/Limpopo Province - Kruger National Park   Start of tour - Johannesburg/Pretoria

An early departure from Johannesburg/Pretoria as we travel east towards the Mpumalanga Province, down the eastern escarpment and through the warm “lowveld” before entering the world famous Kruger National Park. Once inside the Park, on the way to our overnight accommodation, excitement will start to mount as we start seeing some of the numerous animals that inhabit this magnificent wildlife sanctuary. In the late afternoon we arrive at the restcamp for a well earned break before enjoying dinner in the camp restaurant.

544km / 338mi
Accommodation: Olifants, Satara, Skukuza, Lower Sabie or Letaba Restcamp
Dinner, bed and breakfast basis
Mpumalanga/Limpopo Province - Kruger National Park
       
What is a restcamp?
The word "restcamp" is a bit deceiving as it has nothing to do with "camping".  The accommodation used in the Kruger National Park are brick or stone cottages or bungalows, usually with a thatched roof.  These bungalows or cottages all have private en-suite facilities (WC, shower and wash basin) and air-conditioning.
     
       
Day 2 – Mpumalanga/Limpopo Province - Kruger National Park    

The day begins with an early morning “open vehicle” game drive, looking for Africa’s “Big Five” - Elephant, Rhino, Buffalo, Lion and Leopard, followed by breakfast. During the rest of day your tour guide and vehicle is at all times available for game-viewing drives along the excellent network of well-maintained roads that exist inside the Kruger Park.
We prefer to spend the second night at a different restcamp, providing you with the opportunity to observe the ever-changing habitat while travelling inside the Park.

Accommodation: Olifants, Satara, Skukuza, Lower Sabie or Letaba Restcamp

Day 3 – Mpumalanga/Limpopo Province - Private Game Reserve    

After breakfast we exit the Kruger Park and travel to an exclusive lodge in a nearby private game reserve. Later this afternoon an exhilarating game drive in specially adapted open 4X4 vehicles is undertaken. At dusk sundowners are enjoyed deep in the bush, after which the drive continues, making use of spotlights to search for nocturnal animals. A final highlight is a specially prepared dinner enjoyed under the stars around the campfire. (weather permitting)

114km / 71mi

We make use of a number of smaller and more intimate game lodges in one of the private game reserves that lie directly west of the Kruger National Park. The specific game lodge used will depend on availability, but should be one of the following: Serondella Came Lodge, Chapungu Luxury Tented Camp, N’Kaya Camp, Nkorho Bush Lodge, Kapama Buffalo Camp, Kapama River Lodge, Kuname River Lodge, Umlani Bushcamp or Jackalberry Lodge      
       
Day 4 – Mpumalanga/Limpopo Province - Private Game Reserve    

An early wake up call signals the start of yet another exciting day in Big Five territory.
You depart on an early morning safari in open 4x4 vehicles after which you return to the lodge for a late breakfast.
After breakfast you can embark on a guided bush walk with an armed ranger, who will identify spoor and droppings and share with you some of the fascinating secrets of the bush. If you are lucky you may come across big game on foot - a truly exhilarating experience.
This evening another safari in open 4x4 vehicles is undertaken, followed by a scrumptious South African dinner.
