Day 1

Greater Kruger, South Africa

Greater Kruger, South Africa

Upon your arrival (by road or air) in South Africa’s wildlife-rich Lowveld, you are met by one our local drivers - Mike, Stuart or Thuli - and embark on your first game drive on the way to your lodge. Have your camera handy as they will stop for any wildlife encountered en-route. This afternoon and over the next two days, you can anticipate quality wildlife viewing within this “Big Five” reserve adjoining Kruger National Park. The 600km2 (230mi2) Klaserie Private Nature Reserve shares unfenced borders with the national park and is one of the largest privately-owned reserves in South Africa. One of the most undeveloped and pristine wilderness areas of the Greater Kruger, animals migrate freely between Klaserie and Kruger National Park, creating an incredible biosphere and one of Africa’s premier safari destinations.

There are daily flights to Hoedspruit from Johannesburg or Cape Town, generally departing between 10:00am and midday and arriving from around midday to 2:00pm.

Day 2-3

Greater Kruger, South Africa

Greater Kruger, South Africa

Located in a remote and private location within Klaserie Private Nature Reserve and managed by James and Corlia Steyn, Senalala Safari Lodge offers a truly authentic bush safari experience. Set on the banks of the seasonal Ntsiri River, guests can expect an abundance of quality wildlife viewing while at Senalala, with the camp itself overlooking a watering hole that draws a constant flow of wildlife. Every morning and evening, experienced ranger James and his team of guides lead a game viewing outing in search of sightings that will provide that unforgettable experience guests to this wild area are hoping for. The “Big Five” is regularly spotted plus the birding is superb. Guests can choose a game drive or bush walk – the latter enables guests aged 16 years and over to experience the smaller intricacies of nature that aren’t always noticeable from a vehicle.

Day 4

Zambezi River, Zambia

Zambezi River, Zambia

Our driver now transfers you to Kruger-Mpumalanga Nelspruit Airport for your flight to Livingstone, Zambia where our local guide, Mortimer provides your private transfer to your tranquil camp on the banks of the mighty Zambezi River. Later this afternoon you embark on a complimentary sunset cruise on this famous river.

Chundukwa River Lodge boasts a secluded spot on the banks of the Zambezi River yet is only a 45-minute drive from the bustling town of Livingstone. Staying here enables simple logistics for tomorrow's Rhino Walking safari and Elephant Cafe lunch, which are both located close by. Dotted alongside the river are six tented chalets with spacious and tastefully furnished interiors and en-suite bathrooms, and a private balcony. The main lodge area includes a popular bar as well as a restaurant overlooking a large swimming pool and the river, and it's from here where you depart on this afternoon's sunset cruise.
