Itinerary:
DAY of DEPARTURE - Johannesburg/Pretoria - Greater Kruger National Park
On the day of departure you will be collected from your hotel at first light and transferred to the Game Reserve. The journey takes approximately 5 hours with stops along the way. You will meet your ranger at a lovely bush pub at the edge of the reserve, where you will complete formalities and have lunch together. After lunch, we transfer you into open safari vehicles to one of our bush camps in Klaserie or Timbavati Private Nature Reserve* making sure that you spend the maximum time in the bush!
DAYS in Kruger National Park
In the mornings we set off at first light after a snack breakfast of rusks and coffee or tea. Enjoying the cool morning air we may walk directly from camp or else use a vehicle to get further out. Your ranger will decipher the tracks and signs left by the passing animals during the night.The thrill of walking, tracking and getting up close to one of the creatures of the bush is an unforgettable experience. On the walks there is a lot of emphasis on all the interesting things seen such as trees, plants, insects and birds.
A big breakfast is prepared back in camp and then there is time to unwind and siesta during the heat of the day. After lunch is served it is time to head out again. The afternoon activity is a walk/ drive combination, looking for tracks and activity in other areas. After the walk we drive to a beautiful spot in the Reserve, where we will enjoy sundowners while waiting for a stunning African Sunset. As the diurnal animals and birds anxiously getting ready for bed, the sights and sounds change and a whole new world awakens. This is when we connect the spotlight and night drive back to camp, looking for the nocturnal creatures that are so rarely seen during the day. Back in camp a hearty dinner and a warm campfire await you. After a long day in the bush there is nothing more rewarding then to sneak off to bed and listen to the sounds of the night under a blanket of the overwhelming African stars!
DAY of RETURN - Greater Kruger National Park - Johannesburg/Pretoria
On the day of departure you will still go out for one last walk. Sniffing the typical scents of the bush you'll realize how much you've learned already! After breakfast it's time to pack up and go back to the bush pub. Then we say our goodbyes and transfer you back to the city (arrival around 6pm). 
* We operate in the Greater Kruger, which are the Private Reserves adjoining the Kruger National Park on its western borders. There are no fences between the Kruger Park and these Reserves, hence the name Greater Kruger National Park. The big advantage of these Reserves is their privacy, so no shared sightings or camps with other visitors. Once you’re out there it’s just you, your ranger and chef and the rest of your party of 8.
Tailor-Made Travel: We can tailor-make a private safari to meet your departure date, time period, group size and budget.
