Day 1

Nature Spirit Warmth and Luxury

Nature Spirit Warmth and Luxury

Welcome to friendly multicultural South Africa and especially in our main city Johannesburg. You will be greeted by friendly staff and taken through custody with absolutely no stress and having that holiday feeling. Escorted to the domestic airline for your short flight to Skukuza Airport in Sabi Sand where you will experience the luxury of a life time.
The lodge's design is a masterpiece of spacious elegance, with a sanctuary to relax in one of Africa's premier wildlife settings. Enjoy the plush lounge or revel in the magnificent view of the river, which varies beautifully with the seasons.

You will have your first game drive late afternoon and you are ready to experience the first sight of the big animals - or even the smaller ones. Enjoy the smells and sounds of the bush and be vigilant for any movement in and around the bushes.

As evening falls, a magnificent fireplace provides warmth and delicious dinners.

Day 2

Uniqueness All Around You

Uniqueness All Around You

Just after sunset you are leaving for your first morning game drive. You can see all of Africa’s iconic species - the Big Five, 150 mammal species and over 500 varieties of birds. Your magic lies in how you experience this extraordinary place and its wildlife wonders. With only six guests to a safari vehicle, you’ll have minimal encounters with other people.

Coming back to the lodge you ill be treated to a great South African breakfast and some excitement about what you have experienced already. Enjoy the day relaxing by the pool, reading, walks in nature - if permitted or with an optional option with guides. See if you can find some of the great birds in their natural habitat and get ready for another game drive at sunset

Dinner will be under the stars with open boma fires to relax, unwind, drinks and memorable stories.

Day 3

A Day full of Surprises

A Day full of Surprises

Today you will experience real bush life and some unexpected surprises. Between sightings of the Big Five, some surprise safari stops also offer something special. There are pauses, in an especially scenic location, to simply appreciate being in the bush and in the moment. Climb off the vehicle and stretch your legs while the field guide lays out snacks and hot drinks – perhaps coffees with sneaky tots of Amarula Cream? – a picnic lunch and later a sundowner to celebrate a fantastic day… and that view!
Experience the animals closer by the river and you will spot buffalo drinking not far from the lions and water birds foraging on shore while minding crocodiles. This makes for spectacular safari scenes perfect for practicing your wildlife photography.
Your last night under the African night sky and fires with the roars of lions in the distance.
