On arrival at the Hluhluwe-iMfolozi Game Reserve, you will begin your safari, searching for animals as you make your way to camp.
Once you check into your accommodation, you will be taken on a sunset game drive. Enjoy the sights and sounds of the African bush, stopping along the banks of the Umfolozi River for sundowners and snacks, then it is back to camp. Freshen up before joining your guide around the camp fire whilst a braai (BBQ) dinner is prepared. Hopefully some night animals will come around for a visit, hyena and bushbabies being regulars.

Full -Day Big Five Safari
Full -Day Big Five Safari
It is an early rise as you embark on another game drive, after a hot cup of coffee or tea. Early game drives, when the sun is just peaking over the savanna is the ideal time to catch the night time predators still moving about. Mid-drive, we will stop for a tea/coffee and snack break, just to help those grumbling tummies. Then the drive continues as the sun warms up the bushveld and the day animals zebra, giraffe, elephant and other antelopes begin to move about.
We will return to camp for brunch cooked for you by your guide. Sit and enjoy the views or even have a small rest. Then once again, enjoy an afternoon game drive, hopefully to keep adding to your now ever increasing game viewing list.
Enjoy another beautiful sunset and then some more camp fire stories and a traditional South African meal. Look upwards to the stars, the lack of artificial light lends itself to amazing star gazing and your guide will help you identify the various constellations.
