KRI7M: Kruger Park + Sun City

Day 1

This morning you will be met at Mpumalanga Airport and transferred to the Timbavati sector of the Kruger National Park, a scenic 2-hour drive.

Enter the world famous Kruger National Park, where game-viewing opportunities should present themselves almost immediately in this vast 2-million hectare game sanctuary. Hopefully we will see several species of antelope, zebra, wildebeest and maybe even giraffe before we reach camp.

Check in to your luxury private camp, situated in the Timbavati or Sabi Sands sectors of the Kruger National Park.

Settle-in and relax in your outdoor bushveld surroundings before enjoying your first game drive in an open-top game viewing vehicle accompanied by a lodge ranger. Then enjoy a delicious dinner in the outdoor Boma, as you relax and enjoy the atmosphere that only the African bushveld can provide.

[Exact camp subject to availability at time of booking. Also a few luxury tents, which need to be booked well in advance. When no availability within the greater Kruger National Park, luxury lodges situated just outside are used]

Days 2 and 3

Set off early each morning on an open-top game viewing drive with your lodge ranger, to take advantage of the best game viewing conditions of the day.

Explore the vast Kruger Plains, which offer magnificent game viewing opportunities and the highest concentration of lion in the whole of Africa. Hopefully we will see at least one of the Big Five today - Lion, Elephant, Buffalo, Leopard and Rhino, before returning to camp for breakfast.

The rest of the morning is free for relaxing at camp or beside the swimming pool. Alternatively enjoy a Guided Walk with a lodge ranger, to study some of the smaller animals, insects and trees of the park.

In the afternoon enjoy another open-top game drive with your ranger. With nearly 150 different species of mammals and over 100 species of reptiles in the Kruger Park, we hope to see hippos, crocodiles, cheetah, giraffe, kudu, sable antelope, waterbuck, warthogs, baboons, wild dogs and a wide variety of other interesting animals.

With over 500 different bird species in the park, outstanding bird watching is also guaranteed - including eagles, vultures, storks, fish eagles and kingfishers.

In the evening, enjoy the balmy weather and pristine stars of the Southern Sky and Milky Way, as you have never seen them before – including the spectacular Southern Cross.

[NB: Children<12: open top game viewing restrictions may apply. Please enquire when booking]

Day 4

Return transfer to Johannesburg, continuing to the fascinating international resort of Sun City, a drive of just over 6-hours through the Transvaal.
