We depart Johannesburg early in the morning from your hotel or from an early morning arrival flight from O R Tambo International Airport and travel through the Lowveld to the Kruger National Park via Nelspruit. We make a quick pit stop at a farm stand to stretch our legs and eat a quick lunch (on our own) before continuing on to our lodge. After we’ve settled in, we go on a sunset open vehicle game drive.

A full day game drive in an open 4×4 game drive vehicle with a local guide is on the agenda for the day. Today, there is an opportunity for excellent game viewing to see the Big Five as well as hundreds of antelope and bird species. Seeing all five of the big five, including the elusive leopard, is not guaranteed during the day. Throughout the day, we make our way to various waterholes in an attempt to see as much of the wildlife as possible in the Kruger. Lunch is on your own at one of the rest stops.

Following an early morning breakfast, you will have the option of participating in either an early morning Bush Walk or an early morning game drive before departing. Please keep in mind that these are optional, at your own expense, and are subject to availability at the time of booking. Arrival in Johannesburg at around 16:00.
