Day 1-3

Big 5 safari in Welgevonden Game Reserve

Big 5 safari in Welgevonden Game Reserve

On arrival at OR Tambo (Johannesburg) Airport, you'll be welcomed and transferred approximately 2 hours by road to Welgevonden Private Game Reserve in Limpopo. This is where your bush adventure begins.

Limpopo is the almost mythical land of wide-open bushveld, big skies, thorn trees and the mystical baobab tree. Welgevonden is a declared heritage site of 37 000 hectares that adjoins the Marakele National Park in the breathtaking Waterberg Biosphere. In addition to being a Big 5 destination, it's home to SA's largest collection of white rhino.

You'll check into Nedile Lodge, a 5 star safari lodge built for luxury, intimacy and, of course, spectacular game viewing. You'll join a guided safari or specialised bush walk with an experienced ranger to view elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, giraffe, zebra and many antelope species. Make sure you have your lesser-spotted safari animals list and see if you can tick off the aardvark, brown hyena or the rarely seen honey badger and bush pig.

Beach bliss in Mauritius

Mauritius is a perfect tropical beach destination for both couples on a romantic getaway and and families looking for a relaxing break. Known for its powdery beaches, azure waters and incredible water-based activities as well as a dose of romance and culture, Mauritius soothes the soul. Your resort hotel is as sophisticated as it is beautiful and your every need has been anticipated.
