Day 1

Transfer to Hazyview & Elephant Interaction Program

Transfer to Hazyview & Elephant Interaction Program

The Airport Shuttle departs from O.R. Tambo International Airport at 06h45. On arrival in Hazyview you will have time to enjoy a relaxed lunch at one of the Perrys Bridge Trade Post restaurants before being collected by an Elephant Herd Tours & Safaris guide for your onward transfer to your accommodation for a 14h00 check-in.

After a welcome drink in the beautiful and bird-rich gardens of the guesthouse, you will have time to unpack and relax before we collect you for an unforgettable one hour experience with Africa's gentle giants, the African Elephant, or a fun-filled afternoon on an aerial cable trail gliding over the tree canopies along the Sabie River.

Dinner will be at the guesthouse, followed by spending the leisure in your private villa.

Day 2

Full Day Kruger National Park Safari

Full Day Kruger National Park Safari

Your safari to the Kruger will start before sunrise in our open safari vehicle. This gives you the opportunity to view animals from a higher vantage point and a perfect panoramic view. Your guide will use his expert knowledge to help you search for iconic animals in the park, as well as interpret the natural environment. You will stop at various lookout points, waterholes and rivers during your safari to increase your chances of seeing the unexpected, breathtaking scenery.

We will provide breakfast packs which you will be able to enjoy at a rest camp or a picnic spot along the route for that day. There will be a lunch stop should you wish to purchase a lunch snack or simply stretch your legs. We return to the guesthouse at around 15h30.

You will have time to freshen up, relax, and reminisce over the day's sightings while you enjoy a sundowner drink at the pool or lounge areas.

Dinner will be in the dining room at the guesthouse.

Kruger Morning Safari & Transfer to the Private Game

Once again we rise before the sun and set out for your final morning safari in the Kruger National Park before heading to the private game reserve. Breakfast packs will again be provided by your guesthouse for you to enjoy at one of the picnic spots or rest camps.

After leaving the park at around 11h15, you will be transferred back to the guest house to collect your luggage, before we drive you to Umkumbe Bush Lodge in the Sabi Private Game Reserve where you will arrive in time to settle into your suite and relax overlooking the Sand River whilst waiting for the 16h00 sunset safari.

Your safari experience in the private game reserve will be different from that experienced in Kruger Park as you will experience some off-roading in a 4x4 Landrover with no roof which allows for a 360-degree view, ideal for the perfect photographic and video opportunity.

After the sunset/evening safari you will have the opportunity to dine in true African bush style under the stars around a boma fire.
