Day 1 - Arrive in Johannesburg
Welcome to Johannesburg, South Africa’s cultural and economic hub. Settle into your hotel and take some time to explore this dynamic city. From the vibrant markets of Maboneng to the historic sites of Soweto, Johannesburg offers a fascinating mix of past and present.
Day 2 - Johannesburg to Greater Kruger Area
Leave the city behind as you journey toward the Greater Kruger Area, the gateway to one of Africa’s most iconic wildlife destinations. Upon arrival, check into your safari lodge, where the sounds of the African bush welcome you.
In the afternoon, set out on your first game drive, led by expert rangers who will help you track lions, elephants, and rhinos as the sun sets over the savannah.
Day 3 - Greater Kruger Area
Wake up to the sounds of the wild and set off on an early morning safari drive. The cooler hours of the morning are the best time to spot predators on the move.
Return to the lodge for a hearty breakfast, followed by time to relax by the pool or take a guided bush walk to learn about the region’s smaller, often-overlooked creatures.
In the evening, embark on another game drive, experiencing the magic of the African bush as nocturnal animals emerge under a starlit sky.
Days 4-6 - Kruger National Park
Over the next few days, immerse yourself in the incredible wildlife of Kruger National Park, South Africa’s largest and most famous game reserve. With its vast landscapes and diverse ecosystems, Kruger is home to an astonishing variety of wildlife.
Spend your days on thrilling morning and afternoon game drives, spotting leopards lazing in the trees, herds of elephants gathering at waterholes, and cheetahs sprinting across the plains.
Between drives, enjoy the lodge’s amenities, from refreshing dips in the pool to relaxing on your private deck with panoramic views of the African bush.
Optional activities include:
• Bush walks with expert guides for a closer look at the park’s smaller inhabitants.
• Photography safaris to capture stunning shots of Kruger’s landscapes and wildlife.
• Cultural visits to nearby villages for an insight into the traditions of the region’s indigenous communities.
Day 7 - Kruger to Johannesburg
Enjoy one last sunrise safari before heading back to Johannesburg. Take in the final views of the wild before returning to the buzz of the city.
Spend your evening at leisure, reflecting on your incredible safari adventure over a delicious dinner at one of Johannesburg’s top restaurants.
Day 8 - Departure from Johannesburg
After a final breakfast, it’s time to say goodbye to South Africa. Depending on your flight schedule, you may have time for some last-minute sightseeing or shopping before heading to the airport for your onward journey.
A Journey of Wildlife and Culture
