- Day 1:
Depart on your for your economy flight from London Heathrow to Johannesburg with South African Airways.
- Day 2 - 4:
On arrival at Johannesburg International Airport you will connect your flight to the Kruger Mpumalanga Airport or Hoedspruit Airport (depending on which lodge you choose). Here you will be met and transferred by road to your lodge in the Greater Kruger Park.
Spend the next three days partaking in morning and afternoon game drives in open 4 x 4 vehicles. There are no fences between these Greater Kruger private reserves and the Kruger National Park and the game moves freely. The Kruger area is synonymous with the big five (Lion, Elephant, Buffalo, Rhino and Leopard) and offers some of the best chances in Africa to view these magnificent animals in an up close setting.
Your days will start very early with a wakeup call with tea/coffee, following which you will be off for your first morning game drive. After breakfast spend the hottest part of the day relaxing in the shade or perhaps lying by the pool. Your second game drive of the day will take place in the late afternoon. 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.
