DETAILED ITINERARY
Day 1 Kruger Park South Africa
We depart Johannesburg, the city of Gold and head off on an adventure of a lifetime. A truly unique African experience unfolds as we enter the Kruger Park via our private concession within Southern Kruger. The Park is home to 150 species of mammal, including Africa’s famed “Big Five”. The staggering 507 bird species, plus the wide variety of insects, reptiles and amphibians, make this the ultimate wildlife experience. We board open safari vehicles and make our way to our secluded safari camp taking in the sheer beauty of the African bush along the way. After settling into camp, we venture out on an afternoon/ early evening game drive. Returning to camp after dark, we enjoy a boma dinner in the form of a traditional Shangaan culture evening. Accommodation at our private camp situated in a wilderness area away from the normal commercial camps. (LD)
Day 2 Kruger Park South Africa
An early rise as we depart our camp at first light. Our game drive takes us to some of the best game drive routes within Kruger, giving us the opportunity to view the varied landscapes, ecosystems and abundant wildlife. The entire day is spent game viewing, bird watching and stopping off at the various waterholes en route. After an awesome day’s game viewing we return to camp to enjoy sundowners before heading out on another exciting evening game drive. Upon our arrival back at camp we are greeted with the aroma of traditional bushveld cooking as we enjoy a braai (barbeque) around a log fire. (BLD)
