DAY 1: Early morning we depart from
Johannesburg and Pretoria heading towards the picturesque Mpumalanga
stopping at the scenic sites such as the Blyde River Canyon, Bourke’s
Luck Potholes, God’s Window and Three Rondawels. This evening
we enjoy a South African braai and relax around the campfire. Today
breakfast and lunch is at own cost.
DAY 2: We depart for the world renown
Kruger National Park harbouring an unparalleled diversity of wildlife!
Early morning we venture on a 2-3 hour hiking trail inside the KRUGER
NATIONAL PARK. This hiking trail is accompanied by a Ranger from the
Kruger National Park. You will be spoor, animal tracking and will
learn about the flora and fauna in this magnificent park. After our
hiking trail we drive to our campsite where brunch will be served.
The rest of the next two days are spent on game drives searching for
as many of the 147 mammals, 114 reptiles, 33 amphibians and 507 bird
species as possible. The next two evenings are spent at a campsite
within the Kruger National Park listening to the sounds of the African
night.
DAY 3: As soon as the gates open
we start with our game drive to ensure we see as much game as possible.
The majority of the day is spent on game drives searching for as many
wildlife species as possible in their natural habitat.
DAY 4: This is your last opportunity
to spot that animal that’s been avoiding us the past two days
since it is our final game drive before returning to Johannesburg
and Pretoria. Lunch at own cost.
NB: On some departure dates we drive
directly through to the Kruger National Park and only drive through
the scenic route on the last day
POINTS OF INTEREST ON THE ELEPHANT HIKING TRAIL
The hiking trail is conducted INSIDE the Kruger National
Park and where you have a chance of spotting the BIG 5 plus many more
wildlife species. A fantastic opportunity of coming close to wildlife.
Should you wish to participate on a night game drive
you have the opportunity of doing so on the evening of day two or
day three (depending on availability). These can be arranged through
the Kruger National Park at an additional R75 per person.
We have recently "set up" camp at a popular
site inside the Kruger National Park so our tents are fully erected
on wooden stands, giving you the comfort of mattresses on flooring
instead of the ground! We are currently erecting a kitchen close to
our campsite so we are separate from other campers in the camping
ground.
