Transfer to Kruger National Park

You will meet us at the Shuttle Terminal at O.R Tambo International Airport (Johannesburg) for your transfer. Please be ready and waiting from 11h45. Detailed instructions and confirmation numbers for the shuttle will be provided after your booking has been processed. Your transfer will depart from the airport strictly at 12h00, with an estimated arrival time at the lodge between 18h00 and 18h30.

The friendly staff will assist with your check-in and show you to your room. After a brief freshening up, you can join us for a delicious dinner at the dining area or deck. You will have the opportunity to get more information about the area, and your itinerary from the manager on duty.

There is a cash bar available for beverages and alcoholic drinks.

After dinner, you can relax on the deck or retire to your room for the night. We recommend getting a good night’s rest as an early morning rise is required for your thrilling full-day game drive tomorrow.

You will depart from the lodge at around 05h00 for a morning game drive in Kruger National Park, returning to the lodge by about 11h00.

You will have time to refresh before a light lunch is served on the lodge deck.

This afternoon at 15h30, we will depart on one of the highlights of this safari package - a sunset and evening game drive including a bush dinner. After sunset, there will be spotlights on the safari vehicle (or handed to the guests) to light up the surrounding bushveld and spot nocturnal animals.

A buffet-style dinner with unique South-African dishes will be served. After the main course, guests can relax next to the open fire or dinner table, after which delicious desserts will be served.

After dessert, we will get ready to embark on a short, but sweet, game drive toward the Crocodile Bridge Gate exit and hopefully catch a glimpse of the resident lion pride soaking up the heat from the tar road.
