Itinerary

Day 1

Home/ Hotel or Airport pickup and travel eastwards from Gauteng towards the Lowveld. At Tremisana Lodge, we board an open Landcruiser for a Big Five Sunset Drive. Your guide will show you the many animals and birds that frequent the Balule section of Kruger Park. After enjoying a stunning African sunset, powerful spotlights will be used to locate nocturnal species such as genet, porcupine, scrub hare and civet. You will then be transferred to the Cheetah Inn where dinner will be served around a large fire under the African stars.

Day 2

You will be transferred to the Orpen Gate of Kruger Park for a full day of game viewing and bird watching. From your elevated position in the open Gameviewer, outstanding opportunities are had to view game and take exceptional photos. We have a lunch break at Satara camp, which is in the centre of a wildlife zone renowned for many lion prides. The open grassy plains around Satara attract big herds of giraffe, zebra and antelope as well as numerous buffalo and elephant. Return to Cheetah Inn for dinner around the campfire, where you can discuss the day's gameviewing highlights.

Day 3

You will be transferred to the Motlala Game reserve, where an armed ranger will conduct a bush walk. You will be shown the spoor and droppings of wild creatures, big and small. The walk concentrates on smaller wildlife things like plants, birds and insects and general items that you won't get to see from your vehicle, but from time to time, dangerous animals such as buffalo, rhino and leopard may be encountered. After breakfast, we drive via the Three Rondawels of the Blyde River Canyon en route to Johannesburg where we arrive around 16h00. Airport dropoff by arrangement
