- In Flight
- Day 2 - 5:
On arrival at Johannesburg International Airport you will connect your flight to the Kruger Mpumalanga Airport (Nelspruit), the gateway to the Kruger National Park. Here you will be met and transferred by road to your lodge in the Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve which flanks the Kruger National Park. There are no fences between this private reserve 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.
Spend the next four days partaking in morning and afternoon game drives in open 4 x 4 vehicles. You days will start early with a wake up call and tea or coffee. After tea guests are taken on an early morning game drive in an open Land Rover with an experienced game ranger and Shangaan tracker. The game drive traverses the bush following the spoor and scent of animals. You will usually have chance to stop and enjoy the morning sunshine next to a waterhole during your drive. Spend the hottest part of the day relaxing together 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'. This gives you chance to listen to the silence of the bush with your engines switched off, the hum of crickets and cicadas, nocturnal birds, the cry of hyenas or a jackal in the distance. Watch the moon rise and gaze up at the Milky Way as you enjoy your drinks. You will then be returned to the lodge for a bushveld dinner in the boma and possibly more drinks under the African sky after which you can retire to your room to take in the wonderful sounds of the African night.
