South Africa is one of the most culturally and geographically diverse places on earth. Come see its remarkably untamed wilderness and astonishing range of wildlife roaming freely through Kruger National Park, a massive unfenced game reserve. You’ll also get to explore Panorama Route and marvel at the beauty of the Blyde River Canyon.  

TOUR HIGHLIGHTS

Kruger National Park – The largest game reserve in South Africa, home to a variety of different species of wild animals, including the Big Five: elephant, lion, rhino, leopard and buffalo.

Blyde River Canyon – One of the most spectacular canyons in the world with beautiful mountainous backdrops and panoramic views of the Mpumalanga province.

Day 1: ARRIVAL JOHANNESBURG – HAZYVIEW (405 km – 4.5 h)

After landing at O.R. Tambo International Airport, you will be met by a tour representative who will guide you to the transfer to Kruger National Park. Make sure your flight lands before 6:00 am in the morning to catch the transfer.  Arrive at the hotel where you will have time to relax, unpack and enjoy a light lunch. Enjoy a swim or walk around the beautiful Lodge and walking trail. We will depart before 16.00 pm for a Sunset/Night safari in the Kruger National Park. The sun sets early in the winter months which means longer Night safari, and in summer enjoy beautiful sunsets while on safari, before returning to the lodge around 20.00 pm for a lovely dinner, and a good night’s rest. 

Overnight in Hazyview.

Day 2: KRUGER NATIONAL PARK

A spellbinding experience awaits you this morning. Head out to explore Kruger National Park, often thought of as the world’s largest wildlife zoo. Wake up early in the morning and jump into a safari jeep with a specialised wildlife ranger-guide and drive over to Kruger Park for your very first safari experience. Enjoy a thrilling game drive and, like completing a wildlife bingo, try to spot all of Africa's highly sought-after Big Five: elephant, lion, rhino, leopard and buffalo. You will make two stops during the day, one for breakfast (included) and another for lunch (not included), at different rest camps throughout the safari. That way you will be able to take advantage of your time in the game reserve to the fullest and make sure you don’t miss any animal you were longing to see in its natural habitat. You will be driven back to the lodge in the late afternoon, at around 16:00 pm. The rest of the day is free for you to spend at leisure until dinner is served.

Overnight in Hazyview.

Day 3: KRUGER NATIONAL PARK

Today we will visit the Blyde River Canyon the 3rd largest canyon in the world. The canyon is over 40km long and 1200m deep.  At a certain lookout point on the canyon, you will get to see the 3 Rondavels. The Rondavels get their name from their similar appearance to the Rondavel houses, a traditional Hut commonly built in Africa. These 3 outcrops stand prominently from the landscape. We then make a stop at God's window which allows people a window from the escarpment 1000 m below, one can see as far as Kruger and beyond on a clear day. Your comfortable walking shoes will be needed as the various lookout points have paths and trails to the view sights. Getting to the top takes an average person around 15-20 minutes, but it is worth the walk through a natural rainforest environment. We will arrive at the lodge at around 18-00 pm. 

Overnight in Hazyview.

Day 4: HAZYVIEW - DEPART JOHANNESBURG

Early departure from the lodge before sunrise for the last game drive. Your guide will focus on animals we could not find on the first 2 safaris and hoping for a lion and leopard as they are most active in the early mornings, No safari is ever the same and Kruger has a huge network of roads to choose from, guides will safari in different areas of the park in different seasons, for the chance to see more sightings. After a short breakfast and coffee stop, we will continue with the safari returning to the lodge at around 11:00 am, here you say goodbye to your guide and freshen up before the journey back to Johannesburg. You will be collected by the shuttle at around 11:30 am, and we return to Johannesburg OR Tambo shuttle terminal, arriving between 17:00 – 18:00 pm.
