4-Day Scheduled Kruger & Panorama Safari

• You'll be collected from the airport.
• Accommodation before the tour starts can be arranged for an extra cost.

Guaranteed scheduled departure

Between 6:30 and 6:45 am, our local representative will collect you from a hotel close to the airport or from the airport, between 6:45 and 7:00 am, leaving at 7:15 am. From here there is a transfer to Hazyview, arriving between 11:30 am and 12:00 pm.

After having time to unwind, unpack, and a light lunch, depending on the weather, have a refreshing dip in the swimming pool, or take a stroll around the lovely lodge. Then we leave for a sunset/night safari in the Kruger National Park at 15.45 pm for the first exciting game drive. An evening game drive in Kruger National Park is a truly special experience, offering unique opportunities. As dusk falls, the bush transforms: grazers become more active in the cooler air, while predators like lions and leopards prepare for their nightly hunt. This is the time when many nocturnal animals emerge, giving you the chance to witness rare behaviours and sightings that aren't visible during the day.

Return to the lodge for a delicious dinner.

Panorama Route

You're in for an incredible day exploring the Panorama Route, filled with breathtaking scenery and charming local culture! Start your journey with a hearty breakfast before meeting your guide for a scenic drive.

Our local representative will take you in a closed, air-conditioned vehicle. Your first stop, Graskop, offers delicious pancakes and quaint shops to explore. Next, marvel at Lisbon Falls, the tallest waterfall in the area, before heading to Bourke’s Luck Potholes, where centuries of water erosion have created dramatic geological formations. Cross footbridges for stunning views, then continue to the Blyde River Canyon—one of the largest in the world—and the iconic Three Rondavels, which resemble traditional African huts. At God’s Window, enjoy panoramic views stretching across the Lowveld, accessible via a short rainforest trek.

After an exhilarating day exploring, you'll return to the lodge. Enjoy a hearty dinner with a taste of local culinary delights.
