On day 1, visit Mandela House in Soweto to learn about its historical significance. Afterwards, travel approximately five hours through Mpumalanga province to reach Kruger National Park.
Day 2 features a full-day guided game drive in an open safari vehicle in Kruger National Park. Expert guides assist in spotting the Big Five: lion, elephant, rhino, leopard, and buffalo, plus giraffes, zebras, hippos, and various antelope. The diverse ecosystems include savannahs and woodlands rich with birdlife. Midday, stop at a rest camp for lunch and browse local curio shops.
