| Sabi and Kruger National Park - five days |
Day 1 Pick up at the Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport at Nelspruit and transfer to the exclusive Sabi Sands Game Reserve. On arrival, you will have time to settle in before an evening game drive, skirting the river basin and returning to your lodge for a sumptuous dinner in the main lapa. After dinner, you will be afforded the unique opportunity to enjoy a late night game drive (should you wish). This exclusive event provides a chance to share the wilderness at night and enjoy sounds and senses, which are heightened in big five country. Coffee is served on our open vehicles as we silently wait and listen to the sounds of the night, ready to move to centre stage as the drama of the nocturnal opera begins. Day 2 Early morning wake-up and an invigorating cup of fresh coffee in the lounge. Groups will then set off on their early morning game drive. We hope to check out scenes from the previous evenings events; however, each safari offers a new exciting experience. The early morning game drive will return to your lodge for brunch, after which guests have the option of taking an accompanied bush walk. An opportunity to trail in the Sabi Sands game reserve is an experience that will never be forgotten. The trail will return for a well-deserved rest during the heat of the day, where you have time to relax or enjoy the plunge pool overlooking the riverbed, which is often host to zebra, buffalo, giraffe, elephant, rhino, and lion. The afternoon safari activity will start after high tea and will usually comprise of a short drive in the game vehicle to a specific location, after which guests will depart on foot for a short trail, then, having returned to the vehicle will enjoy sundowners away from camp before returning to a delicious supper that awaits them. After dinner, groups are again afforded the chance to enjoy an extended late night game drive if they wish. We may stay out late into the night or early into the next day so that we can fully appreciate all the nocturnal events, the choice is yours. Day 3 A morning game drive aims to visit those parts of the concession that we haven't had time to reach previously. Offering an opportunity to get those final photographs. Time permitting we will take the chance to take a short bush walk from the vehicle, before returning to your lodge. Brunch will be served upon return after which we will transfer to the Kruger National Park. Late afternoon game viewing, prior to an evening spent in a Kruger Park Lodge.
