Day 1: Johannesburg to Kruger National Park Begin your journey through some of the most picturesque areas of eastern South Africa, heading to a 4-star lodge-style hotel which is nestled in a serene riverine woodland with majestic African trees, offering luxury accommodations near Kruger National Park for couples, families, and groups.

Upon arrival at your lodge, set off on a 3-hour sunset safari drive in an open vehicle. Sunset drives start before dusk and conclude after sunset, lasting about three hours.

Learn about the local flora and fauna from our expert guides and return to camp with a spotlight night drive. Upon your return, enjoy a lavish fireside feast in the Lapa, featuring a variety of local and international dishes for a relaxed three-course buffet dinner.
