A Big Five Safari

Arrive at Hoedspruit Airport where you’ll be met and transferred to Thabamati Luxury Tented Camp in the Timbavati Reserve. Check in for 2 nights on a full-board basis with game drives and guided walks.

Tucked away in the private Timbavati Reserve, this lodge likes to introduce you to the Big Five country. Sharing a fenceless border with the Kruger Park itself as well as the other legendary private reserves, Timbavati is where lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopards are all regularly sighted. Your expert guides lead walking safaris as well as day and later afternoon 4X4 drives in search of them. The camp consists of 4 luxurious and spacious en-suite safari-style tents, each overlooking a beautiful dam with amazing views of the Drakensberg Mountains beyond. The elegant intimate tented camp accommodates only 8 guests, which is an added attraction.

Discover the Sabi Sands

You'll have a road transfer to Arathusa Safari Lodge in the exclusive Sabi Sands Game Reserve. Enjoy 2 nights in a waterhole-facing chalet on a full-board basis with game drives and guided walks.

The journey is a 2.5-hour drive to the most famous of Kruger’s private reserves: the Sabi Sand Game Reserve. Such a reputation is well-earned. Sabi Sand delivers Africa’s most reliable Big Five game viewing and is home to other sought-after animals such as wild dogs and cheetahs. Your hosts for the next three days are the friendly and helpful staff at Arathusa Safari Lodge; your setting is next to the well-frequented waterhole. The lodge is home to a swimming pool, a spa and a gym. Your activities are two drives a day plus spot-lit night drives and short guided walks.
