Johannesburg to the Sabi Sands Game Reserve

You will be picked up from the Johannesburg OR Tambo Airport Bus Terminal in the wee hours of the morning. You'll be driven on the N4 freeway eastward through the Highveld of Gauteng and Mpumalanga, and then down the escarpment into the beautiful Lowveld, until you reach the reserve within the Greater Kruger National Park.

The trip will take roughly six hours, including breaks for food and rest, and you should get to the lodge sometime around lunchtime.

After checking in and settling in for a while, you will have the option of taking an afternoon game drive in the reserve in an open safari vehicle with a knowledgeable guide.

You may look forward to a delicious dinner and a warm welcome back at the lodge.

Dinner and lunch are included in your package at the Elephant Plains Game Lodge, where you will be staying.
