Itinerary:
Day 1 Johannesburg/ Greater Kruger National Park
Leave the busy streets and skyscrapers of Johannesburg behind for the adventure of a lifetime in one of the world’s most exciting safari destinations. Take to the savanna for a late afternoon game drive and keep eyes peeled for the iconic Big Five – lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants and buffaloes. After dark, enjoy a refreshing sundowner drink and tuck into a delicious meal before sleeping soundly in a lodge on the outskirts of the park.
Day 2 Kruger National Park
Rise early for exciting game drives along some of the Kruger’s best routes. Try to spot zebras, giraffes, bushbuck, baboons and buffaloes along the way. After the sun has set, retreat to the comforts of the lodge for an evening of relaxation.
Days 3-4 Greater Kruger National Park/ Panorama Route
Take time to see surrounding sites – drive along the beautiful Drakensberg Escarpment, one of South Africa’s most scenic regions. Travelling onward to the stunning Blyde River Canyon, take in the amazing views at God’s Window, peruse the bizarre Bourke’s Luck Potholes and gaze at the hulking Three Rondavels.
Day 5 Johannesburg
Rise early and head out on a walk with a qualified ranger at daybreak to learn more about the African bush. Learn about various animal and bird species as well as the plants that flourish within the reserve. Enjoy a delicious brunch at the lodge before heading back to Johannesburg. Why not relive an extraordinary safari adventure over a celebratory meal at one of Johannesburg’s cosmopolitan restaurants?
