DETAILED ITINERARY:
 
Day 1 – Mpumalanga Province - Kruger National Park Border

An early departure from Johannesburg/Pretoria as we travel east towards the Mpumalanga Province and visit the many attractions along the "Panorama Route", including God's Window, the Bourke's Luck Potholes and the Three Rondavels. In the late afternoon we descend the eastern escarpment and travel through the warm "lowveld" to a beautiful country lodge, just a short distance from the Kruger Park.

Accommodation: Country Lodge
Dinner, bed and breakfast basis
 
 
Day 2 – Mpumalanga/Limpopo Province - Kruger National Park

After an early breakfast at the lodge we travel the short distance to the nearest entrance gate to the Kruger National Park. Once inside the Park, excitement will mount as we start seeing some of the numerous animals that inhabit this magnificent wildlife sanctuary. We spend most of the day travelling north inside the Kruger Park arriving at our “restcamp” in the late afternoon. There is time for a short break before joining an exciting “open vehicle” game drive, looking for Africa’s “Big Five” - Elephant, Rhino, Buffalo, Lion and Leopard.
Accommodation tonight is in comfortable en-suite bungalows or cottages, and dinner is enjoyed in the camp restaurant.

Accommodation: Satara, Skukuza, Olifants or Lower Sabie Restcamp
Dinner, bed and breakfast basis
 
 
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 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)

Accommodation: Private Game Lodge
Fully inclusive of all meals and game-viewing activities
 
 
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:JACKALBERRY GAME LODGE, CHAPUNGU LUXURY TENTED CAMP, ROYAL LEGEND SAFARI LODGE, KAMBAKU SAFARI LODGE, NKORHO BUSH LODGE, KAPAMA RIVER LODGE, KAPAMA BUFFALO CAMP OR SIMBAVATI RIVER LODGE
 
 
Day 4 – Gauteng Province - Johannesburg

After a final open vehicle game drive and a late breakfast, we travel back to Johannesburg, where you are dropped off at your hotel, conveniently situated close to the Johannesburg International Airport. There is a complimentary shuttle service to the airport.

Accommodation: The Metcourt Laurel Hotel at Emperor’s Palace
Bed and breakfast basis
 
 
Day 5 – Victoria Falls - Zambia

After breakfast you take the complimentary shuttle bus to the Johannesburg International Airport for a 2-hour flight to Livingstone, on the Zambian side of the Victoria Falls. At the Livingstone Airport you will be met and transferred to your hotel. The hotel is within easy walking distance of the Falls, to which you have unlimited access.

Accommodation: Zambezi Sun Hotel
Bed and breakfast basis
 
 
Day 6 – Victoria Falls - Zambia

A full day to spend at the Victoria Falls, where you can witness the greatest mass of falling water on earth as it plunges down a sheer rock face, spraying its mystical mist hundreds of meters in the air. A final highlight today is a romantic sundowner cruise on the mighty Zambezi River.
Accommodation: Zambezi Sun Hotel
Bed and breakfast basis

 
 
Day 7 –  End of safari

The morning is at leisure, after which you are transferred to the Livingstone Airport for your flight back to Johannesburg.
