Day 1

Johannesburg - Sabi Sand Reserve

Johannesburg - Sabi Sand Reserve

Begin your day early on this exclusive small group safari (fewer than 10 people), with an optional pick-up from your accommodation in Johannesburg. A professional driver, arranged for ZAR 875 per transfer, will transport guests to the shuttle departure point.

The optional shuttle service from Johannesburg to Kruger Park departs at 6:45 am from the OR Tambo bus terminal (this is included).

Alternatively, we offer pick-up from Nelspruit Airport at 1:15 pm (also included), providing flexibility for your travel to the safari.

If traveling by shuttle from Johannesburg, enjoy a scenic drive with breathtaking photo opportunities as we pass through the escarpment on our way to the Sabi Sands Game Reserve. We recommend guests purchase take-out meals at a standard roadside stop (at their own expense).

The afternoon game drives continue into the evening, followed by a delicious dinner.

You will spend the night at your luxury lodge in Sabi Sand.

Day 2

Sabi Sand Drive

Sabi Sand Drive

The day begins with an early wake-up call between 5:00 am and 5:30 am. Enjoy tea, coffee, and muffins before heading out at dawn for your morning game drive. A hearty breakfast will be served at 9:00 am. Alternatively, you can choose to go on a bush walk instead of the game drive (if the lodge offers this option).

After breakfast and a brief rest, you'll be transferred back to Kruger National Park for your overnight stay.

Your afternoon game drive in Kruger will commence around 3:00 pm.

While animal sightings are not guaranteed, the likelihood of spotting all of the Big Five on our safaris is excellent!

After the afternoon drive, a delicious dinner, catering to various dietary preferences, along with a glass of wine, will be served.

Your overnight accommodation will be within Kruger National Park.

The day begins early, following the wake-up call from your game rangers or hosts. The start time for your morning drive depends on the opening hours of the rest camp gates, which vary throughout the year. You may still have the chance to see nocturnal animals. From April to September, the rest camp gates open at 6:00 am, from November to January at 4:30 am, and in February, March, and October at 5:30 am.

Start the day with coffee or tea and rusks or muffins. The morning game drive offers the final opportunity to spot the Big Five, allowing guests to experience the wonders of the African wilderness and encounter a wide variety of wildlife.

Following the morning drive, enjoy a hot breakfast for brunch.

Guests will be dropped off at Skukuza Airport based on their flight schedule, at Nelspruit Airport at 1:15 pm (this is included), and in Johannesburg between 5:00 pm and 6:00 pm (also included).
