7-Day Wildlife Safari from Kruger Park to Durban

We depart Johannesburg early in the morning from your Johannesburg hotel or the O R Tambo
International Airport and travel through the Lowveld to the Kruger National Park. Before
continuing, a quick stop on the way for a late breakfast or lunch (Own Account) is made. Before
arriving at our lodge near the Kruger National Park, the route passes through some of South
Africa's most beautiful Lowveld farmlands. Relax at the pool or in your chalet before
embarking on an open vehicle sunset game drive.

A full-day game drive in an open 4x4 game drive vehicle with a local guide is on the agenda
for the day. Today, there is a chance to see the Big Five as well as hundreds of antelope and
bird species. It is not guaranteed that you will see all five of the big five, including the elusive
leopard, during the day. Throughout the day, we make our way through the Kruger Park's
Skukuza area, hoping to see as much wildlife as possible. Lunch is on your own at one of the
rest camps.

This morning, we got an early start for a fairly long but scenic drive to Pongola via the small
farming towns of Barberton and Piet Retief. The Pongola Game Reserve, located in Northern
KwaZulu Natal on the banks of a 13000ha man-made dam, is home to four of the Big 5, with
the exception of the Lion.

A full day is spent at the Pongola Game Reserve, taking part in the additional optional activities
listed below. The Pongola Game Reserve is a one-of-a-kind African Bushveld destination, and
time is spent here during the day enjoying the optional activities:

1. Game Drive (approximately 3 hours) – USD 40 per person
2. Boat Cruises (approximately 3 hours) – USD 35 per person
3. Rhino Tracking (approximately 3 hours) – USD 45 per person
4. Guided Game Walks (approximately 3 hours) – USD 40 per person
   Rhino tracking on foot in the morning and an afternoon boat cruise on the Pongola Dam are
   both recommended on this itinerary.

we arrive in St Lucia, ready for a variety of activities. Dinner is on your own account to enjoy
at any of the many quant restaurants in St Lucia's small town in your own time after a long day
on the road

Spend the day doing one of the many activities available in St Lucia. The full-day Hluhluwe
Game Drive and/or a sunset cruise on the estuary are both highly recommended. Tonight's
dinner is on my own account, and I plan to try another one of St Lucia's many restaurants.

• USD 85 per person for a full-day game drive in Hluhluwe.
• Cape Vidal – USD 60 per person (Recommended)

After a short 250km drive south along the coast, we say our goodbyes with an included transfer
to your Durban hotel or the King Shaka International Airport. Please let us know if you'd like
us to help you find accommodation in Durban.
