Day 1
Johannesburg - Greater Kruger, South Africa

Our South African adventure begins with a northward journey from Johannesburg, the vibrant “City of Gold.” Following in the footsteps of intrepid explorers, we’ll skirt the outskirts of Pretoria, South Africa’s administrative capital, before venturing into the vast, open plains that define Africa. Our midday break takes us to the historical gold mining village of Haenertsburg. Steeped in fascinating stories, this charming stop offers a glimpse into South Africa‘s rich past. Refueled and ready for more, we descend into the captivating Magoebaskloof – a lush, mountainous wonderland presided over by the legendary Rain Queen, Modjadji. Immerse yourself in the area’s verdant beauty, a stark contrast to the open plains we traversed earlier.
The final leg of today’s journey takes us to the world-renowned Greater Kruger National Park. This iconic park is a haven for wildlife, boasting a vast array of free-ranging animals. For the next two nights, we’ll call a comfortable bush lodge our home – a haven nestled within a private reserve within the Greater Kruger.
Here, in this private sanctuary, witness the magic of nature unfold. Animals roam freely, unrestricted by fences, creating unparalleled viewing opportunities. Embark on game drives in open vehicles, venturing out in the daytime and into the balmy evenings in search of Africa’s incredible creatures.
Our lodge, a seamless extension of the surrounding bush, offers the perfect retreat after a day of exploration. Sink into crisp, comfortable beds and unwind on your private balcony, where breathtaking views of the surrounding wilderness unfold. A nearby waterhole serves as a natural stage, attracting a mesmerizing array of animals throughout the day. As night falls, drift off to sleep lulled by the symphony of sounds emanating from the African bush – a truly unforgettable experience.

Day 2
Kruger National Park, South Africa

Awaken to the gentle whispers of the African bush. Savor a light breakfast of fresh coffee and rusks, a traditional South African biscuit, as the day stretches before you.
This morning, embark on an unforgettable wildlife adventure. Join your qualified ranger on a guided exploration through the wilderness. With heightened senses, keep your eyes peeled for incredible animal encounters. But don’t just focus on the big game – your expert guide will reveal the smaller wonders often hidden from plain sight, from fascinating insects to unique plant life.
Before the midday sun intensifies, return to the lodge for a delicious brunch. Afterwards, unwind and embrace the serenity of your surroundings. Relax on the lodge deck, where a nearby waterhole provides a captivating natural scene. Witness a symphony of life unfold as various birds and animals come to quench their thirst, their interactions revealing the intricate pecking order of the wild. Perhaps enjoy a refreshing drink while indulging in some game viewing from this prime vantage point.
As the afternoon heat subsides, prepare for an adventure that transitions seamlessly into the night. Embark on an exhilarating open-vehicle game drive that extends into an enthralling night drive. Your quest? To discover the nocturnal creatures that come alive after dark. With the sun dipping below the horizon, pull over and raise a toast to another magnificent day with a sundowner drink or two. Let the fiery hues of the African sunset cast their spell as you marvel at the breathtaking beauty of the bushveld bathed in the golden glow of twilight.

Day 3
Greater Kruger - Hazyview, South Africa

Greet the African sunrise with a hearty breakfast, fueling your adventure for the day ahead. Our journey takes us up the escarpment, a dramatic rise in elevation that unveils a wonderland of scenic beauty. Prepare to be captivated by the region’s natural wonders and breathtaking viewpoints.
Our first stop is a true marvel – the Blyde River Canyon, the world’s largest “green canyon.” Imagine towering cliffs plunging into lush vegetation, creating a landscape unlike any other. Drink in the panoramic vistas and capture unforgettable photos of this awe-inspiring natural masterpiece.
Next, we delve into history with a visit to the charming museum town of Pilgrim’s Rest. Step back in time as you stroll down the main street, transported to the era of the gold rush. Let your imagination run wild as you envision the bustling activity and pioneering spirit of that bygone era.
Lunch today is a chance to tantalize your taste buds and savor the scenery. We’ll stop at a delightful venue perched on the edge of the escarpment, offering the most incredible panoramic views over the entire Lowveld region. Spread out before you will be a tapestry of rolling hills, verdant vegetation, and a sense of boundless expanse.
As mid-afternoon arrives, we descend to our tranquil haven for the night – Greenfire Lodge Hazyview. This enchanting log cabin, built spectacularly on stilts, blends seamlessly into the indigenous forest fringing the banks of the mighty Sabie River, also known locally as the “Fearful River.” This haven is not just a place to rest, but also a working farm. Here, coffee, limes, and macadamia nuts are cultivated with care. We’ll take a fascinating tour of the property, gaining insights into sustainable farming practices and the bounty this land yields.

Hazyview - Kruger National Park, South Africa

Rise with the dawn chorus and depart from your lodge at sunrise. A short journey takes us to the southern sector of Kruger National Park, where an unforgettable day of wildlife exploration awaits.
Kruger National Park boasts an area larger than Israel or Wales, and today, we’ll embark on a full-day safari to discover the incredible creatures that call this park home. Imagine traversing this iconic park in a comfortable, well-equipped vehicle, the perfect vantage point for observing an array of animals in their natural habitat.
Our expert guide, a wealth of knowledge about the park’s ecosystem, will be by your side throughout the day. They’ll not only help you spot animals but also provide fascinating insights into their behavior, revealing the intricate web of life that unfolds within Kruger’s borders.
Prepare to spend most of the day immersed in game viewing, a thrilling adventure of discovery. However, we’ll also incorporate regular stops at designated points within the park. These rest areas provide the perfect opportunity to stretch your legs and unwind, perhaps enjoying a delicious lunch (at your own expense) at one of the park’s rest camps.
As the afternoon sun dips lower in the sky, we’ll make our way out of the park, returning to the tranquil haven of Greenfire Lodge Hazyview, hearts brimming with memories of the day’s incredible wildlife encounters.

After a nourishing breakfast, we bid farewell to South Africa and embark on a captivating journey into the Kingdom of eSwatini (formerly Swaziland). This small, landlocked country boasts a rich tapestry of culture and breathtaking natural beauty, waiting to be explored.
Our adventure begins as we traverse through Mbombela (Nelspruit), the provincial capital of Mpumalanga. Soon, we’ll cross the border and officially enter eSwatini. Prepare to be charmed by the sight of traditional homesteads dotting the landscape as we ascend into the majestic mountains. This region is a haven of natural splendor, promising breathtaking vistas around every bend.

Kruger National Park, South Africa

Leaving the City of Gold, Johannesburg, at 06h30 we make our way north east into the world-renowned Kruger National Park.

We embark on an afternoon game drive in search of lion, elephant, rhino and other game in this fantastic wildlife protection area.
The following morning, we rise early to embark on an exhilarating game drive heading north through the park.

Another night is spent listening to the sounds of the wild in the far northern part of the park.
