ITINERARY

PART 1: Game driving
This is a private small group safari (no more than 8 people).

This is a fantastic trip -- the accommodation is really luxurious. Your first two nights are spent at a private bushveld lodge in central Kruger where you will stay your own private en-suite cottage. The accommodation is wonderful and consists of an en-suite bungalow which is extremely quaint under thatched roofs.

Nights three and four are spent at a private bushveld lodge in the southern Kruger where you will stay your own private en-suite cottage - a most memorable experience.
All accommodations are serviced daily with fresh linen and towels.

A night drive is included to maximise your sightings of nocturnal animals.

The lodges are deep in the Kruger - so you will hear plenty of noises (like hyenas and lions roaring, etc) with one of the most qualified guides in the Kruger who will conduct game drives in our own luxury open game drive vehicle.

This part of your journey is fully inclusive of
All Kruger accommodation; all meals and refreshments courtesy your safari chef; conservation and entrance fees; Nelspruit airport road transfer to Kruger on first day; all game drives (two a day) courtesy your own safari guide in our private open game viewing vehicle; all snacks and refreshments on all game drives; and a night drive in an open safari vehicle with armed ranger.

Excludes
International/domestic flights; tips/ guide gratuities; souvenirs; and travel insurance.

Part 2: Bush walks
You are ready to walk with the animals, armed with a respect, knowledge and appreciation of their behaviour, their ways and their sounds. This is undeniably a different level of experience - no longer sitting in the comfort of a game viewing vehicle as a watcher, you are ready to interact and participate in their daily routines and activities.
In the mornings you set off at first light after a snack breakfast of rusks and coffee or tea. Enjoying the cool morning air we may walk directly from camp or else use a vehicle to get further out. Your ranger will decipher the tracks and signs left by the passing animals during the night. The thrill of walking, tracking and getting up close to one of the creatures of the bush is an unforgettable experience.

On the walks there is a lot of emphasis on all the interesting things seen such as trees, plants, insects and birds. A big breakfast is prepared back in camp and then there is time to unwind and siesta during the heat of the day. After lunch is served it is time to head out again.

The afternoon activity is a walk/ drive combination, looking for tracks and activity in other areas. After the walk we drive to a beautiful spot in the reserve, where we'll have sundowners while waiting for a stunning African sunset. As the diurnal animals and birds anxiously get ready for bed, the stage and sounds change and a whole new world awakens. This is when we connect the spotlight and night drive back to camp, looking for the nocturnal creatures that are so rarely seen during the day.

Back in camp a hearty supper and a warm campfire will be waiting for you. After a long day in the bush there is nothing more rewarding then to sneak off to bed and listen to the sounds of the night under a blanket of the overwhelming African stars!

On the last day you will still go out for one last walk. Sniffing the typical scents of the bush you'll realize how much you've learned already! After breakfast it's time to pack up and go back to the bush pub, where you will pay the conservation fee and the drinks you've consumed in the camp. Then we say our goodbyes and transfer you back Nelspruit airport.
