We depart from Johannesburg between 07h00 and 07h30 in the morning and make our way to the Kruger National Park, arriving around 12h00. Before entering the Kruger we will stop for lunch in one of the small towns en-route to the park. Our first afternoon will be spent driving inside the Kruger searching for wild animals, accompanied by a professional guide, who gladly divulges information to you, on the parks amazing diversity of wild and plant life.
White Rhinoceros – Ceratotherium simumWe get to our first camp in the late afternoon where you check into your accommodation and have enough time to go for a swim, purchase necessary items at the camps shop, or simply take a stroll around the camp to stretch your legs after a long days driving.

Your guide begins preparing the evening meal, situated just outside your chalet, under the stars and served by candlelight. Apart from the cooking your guide is of course available to identify all the nocturnal sounds you hear, and possibly entertain you with some amazing experiences encountered over many years of guiding in Africa. Wine is served and included in evening meals.
Dinner included

Another early wake up, followed by coffee before heading off again in open vehicles, searching for wild animals.

We are often asked what the difference is between the Kruger National Park, and a private Game Reserve such as the Sabi Sand, and in fact why we combine the two.

Giraffe – Giraffa camelopardalisIt’s always very difficult to compare two separate wildlife destinations and in the past we have found the two locations appealing to different people. Kruger can generally be regarded as the “Great Unknown”, you never know what you’re getting and sightings are largely a case of being at the right place at the right time, of course our guides are extremely familiar with the Kruger and know where they have a good chance of finding certain animals which greatly increases your chances of seeing them, accompanied of course by the knowledge which they share with you. However the surprise factor is still there and that is greatly appealing to many of our guests.

A private game reserve on the other hand, is almost guaranteed to deliver excellent sightings as the guides are all in radio contact so the minute one group encounters animals, they radio them in, giving everyone else in the area the chance to see them too.

As a result, when we combine the two destinations, the result is often a safari that utilises one of Africa’s premier wildlife destinations (the Kruger National Park) and the excellent “up close” encounters with animals in the Sabi Sand.

After our morning drive we return to the lodge, enjoy a relaxing breakfast followed by some time to relax by the lodges pool. There is also an opportunity for you to go on a morning walk after breakfast if you wish.

Lunch is usually served around 14hoo before we leave on another afternoon/night drive, returning to the lodge for the evening meal.
