Description

Day 1: Transfer from Gauteng, arrival at lodge and Blyde Dam cruise Begin your safari adventure with a 6-hour road transfer from Gauteng. Upon arrival, unwind with a scenic cruise on the Blyde Dam. Admire the canyon’s towering cliffs and keep an eye out for hippos, crocodiles, and water birds. After the cruise, head to your 4-star lodge located in a tranquil private reserve in the Greater Kruger. Settle into your bush surroundings before gathering for dinner at the lodge. Get a good night's sleep as the next day involves an early start as you prepare to head into the world-famous Kruger National Park. Day 2: Full-Day Kruger National Park Safari Depart your lodge before dawn and enter the Kruger National Park as the sun rises for a full day in the legendary park. Spend the day traversing the park in an open safari vehicle under the expert guidance of your safari guide, starting with a coffee stop in the middle of the bush. After a productive drive through grassland, have breakfast at a picnic spot surrounded by nothing but wilderness. Your guide will share insights into animal behavior as you move through riverine forests and dense drainage lines to waterholes where game congregates. Most of the Kruger is covered in open grassland with large trees and plenty of plains game like zebra as well as plenty of elephants and hopefully a big cat sighting or two. Have a break at Satara Rest Camp where you can enjoy a meal at the camp restaurant. After a thrilling afternoon on the plains and a magnificent African sunset, return to your lodge to relax and enjoy another peaceful evening and dinner. Day 3: Blue Canyon Sunrise Safari and Return Transfer Your final morning begins with another early wake-up call at 5:00 AM. Armed with breakfast packs from the lodge, embark on an exclusive 3-hour sunrise safari. This final game drive takes place in the Blue Canyon Private Game renowned for its lion, cheetah, and rhino sightings. Here you will be accompanied by your guide and a tracker and your chance of seeing predators in the early morning light is relatively high. After a rewarding morning of tracking animals from an open safari vehicle, your adventure concludes as you connect with your return road transfer back to Gauteng.
