Day 1-3

Air Transfer from OR Tambo International Airport to Kings Camp Private Reserve

Air Transfer from OR Tambo International Airport to Kings Camp Private Reserve

Transfer from Johannesburg OR Tambo International Airport to the colonial-styled Kings Camp. Kings Camp is located in the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve on the western boundary of the Kruger National Park. Timbavati was created in the 1950s by a group of conservation-minded landowners who came together to protect pristine wilderness areas from destructive farming. In 1993, Timbavati's importance as a wildlife haven was recognized, and the fences between it and the Kruger National Park were removed to encourage natural migration. As a result, Kings Camp was established as a premier eco-tourism destination in South Africa. Joof Alberts purchased and renovated the property in 1995. Timbavati is a small private reserve offering highly exclusive game-viewing safaris in the Greater Kruger National Park, with only nine thatched air-conditioned suites, reflecting the charm and romance of a Colonial past. Enjoy twice-daily game drives with highly professional and trained rangers and trackers.

Day 4-6

Air Transfer form Kings Camp to Leopard Hills

Air Transfer form Kings Camp to Leopard Hills

Award-winning Leopard Hills is in the renowned Sabi Sand Game Reserve, bordering the world-famous Kruger National Park. The lodge is perfectly set on a rocky outcrop, offering magnificent views over the bush and an active waterhole on the plains below. The reserve comprises over 10 000 hectares of incredibly diverse ecosystems making Leopard Hills the ideal destination to view plentiful game in their natural habitat. Here the Big Five (elephant, lion, rhino, buffalo, and leopard) abound, and viewing them nearby is their specialty. Leopard Hills carefully plans your safari around the best game viewing opportunities. The more productive times are early morning before the day's heat and late afternoon as it cools down, ensuring the sight of animal movement. A walking safari is thrilling! When the animals have retreated to the shade, you, too, get to enjoy spa treatments, time to relax at the camp, a light lunch, and a cool-off in your private plunge pool.
