- Day 1 - 4:
Arrive at Kruger National Park where you will spend the next three days and nights at your chosen Game lodge, deep in the private Game Reserve’s bordering the Kruger National Park, which is one of the country's great tracts of untamed game-viewing. Your time can be spent taking part in the twice daily game drives and bush walks or take a day excursion to the nearby Nyani Cultural Village. Helicopter flips and balloon safaris can also be arranged outside of the park.
As evening falls it is generally the rule that guests enjoy 'sundowners'. Nothing is better than having a cold drink while watching the sun setting over the African bush. You will then be returned to the lodge for a bushveld dinner and possibly more drinks under the African sky after which you can retire to your room to take in the wonderful night sounds of the African bushveld.
