- 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 Hoedspruit Airport. Here you will be met and transferred by road to your lodge in the Thornybush Private Reserve.
Spend the next three days partaking in morning and afternoon game drives in open 4 x 4 vehicles. There are no fences between Thornybush 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.

- Day 5 & 6:
In the morning you will have chance to take a final game drive at the lodge before you get picked up for your transfer to the Hazyview / White River area. This area is extremely tranquil and you can spend your days here relaxing after the action packed safari or partake in activities in the area known as the Panorama Route including bungee jumping, white water rafting or going on rigorous 4x4 trails. One of the most popular hiking trails in the country can be found at Blyderivierspoort. Gentler pursuits include hot air ballooning, walking trails and gold panning.

- Day 7 - 13:
Early morning transfer to Kruger Mpumalanga Airport where you will catch your flight to Johannesburg and your connection to Mauritius. On arrival in Mauritius you will be met at the airport by your driver and transferred to your hotel.
Spend your next seven days partaking in the wide variety of watersports offered by the resort or exploring the beautiful island of Mauritius. Alternatively you can easily arrange activities such as para-sailing, undersea safaris and big game fishing on the island at an extra cost. For those feeling a little less energetic you can take in a treatment at the spa, enjoy a meal at one of the fine restaurants or just enjoy lying on the beach.
