Day 1

Greater Kruger, South Africa

Greater Kruger, South Africa

Upon your arrival in Hoedspruit, located within South Africa’s wildlife-rich Greater Kruger, you are met by our local driver and embark on your first game drive on the way to your lodge. Have your camera handy, as your driver will stop for any wildlife you encounter en route.

This afternoon and over the next two days, you can anticipate quality wildlife viewing within this “Big Five” reserve adjoining Kruger National Park. The Klaserie Private Nature Reserve shares unfenced borders with the national park and is one of the largest privately-owned reserves in South Africa. It's also one of the most undeveloped and pristine wilderness areas of the Greater Kruger, where animals migrate freely between the reserve and Kruger National Park, creating an incredible biosphere and one of Africa’s premier safari destinations.

There are daily flights to Hoedspruit from Johannesburg or Cape Town, generally departing between 10:00am-12:00pm and arriving between 12:30pm-2:00 pm.

Day 2-3

Greater Kruger, South Africa

Greater Kruger, South Africa

Located in a remote and private location within Klaserie Private Nature Reserve and managed by James and Corlia Steyn, Senalala Safari Lodge offers a truly authentic bush safari experience. Set on the banks of the seasonal Ntsiri River, guests can expect an abundance of quality wildlife viewing while at Senalala, with the camp itself overlooking a waterhole that draws a constant flow of wildlife.

Every morning and evening, experienced ranger James and his team of guides lead a game-viewing outing in search of sightings that will provide that unforgettable experience guests to this wild area are hoping for. The “Big Five” is regularly spotted, plus the birding is superb. Guests can choose a game drive or bush walk – the latter enables guests aged 16 years and over to experience the smaller intricacies of nature that aren’t always noticeable from a vehicle.

Later this afternoon, you embark on a complimentary sunset cruise on this famous river.

Chundukwa River Lodge boasts a secluded spot on the banks of the Zambezi River and staying here enables simple logistics for tomorrow's rhino walking safari and Elephant Cafe lunch, both located nearby. Dotted alongside the river are five chalets with spacious and tastefully furnished interiors, en-suite bathrooms and a private balcony over the river. The main lodge area includes a peaceful dining and sitting area with a small adjacent swimming pool overlooking the river, and it's from here that you depart on this afternoon's sunset cruise (incl. drinks & snacks).
