Day 1 International outbound flight

Today you begin your journey by boarding your international outbound flight to Johannesburg.

Day 2 Sabi Sands Game Reserve

You'll be met on arrival in Johannesburg by a ground representative. You'll be assisted during immigration and customs clearance, before checking in for your flight to Skukuza. Once you arrive in Skukuza, you'll meet your driver in the airport arrivals hall for your private road transfer to your lodge in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve. Settle in and meet your guide and tracker for your first game drive of the trip.

Day 3 Sabi Sands Game Reserve

You'll be woken up in the early morning before the sun rises. Meet your group while you enjoy a cup of coffee before setting out on your morning game drive. Early morning is the perfect time to spot wildlife. Nocturnal animals have hunted through the night and you may be able to spot predators before they relax for the day. Your game drive brings you back to the lodge for a hearty breakfast. You then have the rest of the day to relax before you head out on your afternoon game drive. Arrive back at the lodge where you can freshen up before dinner.

Day 4 Sabi Sands Game Reserve

After your wake-up call, you'll make your way to the main lodge for your morning game drive followed by breakfast. During the day, you could relax at the pool or on your deck. Many lodges also have a spa which offer a variety of spa treatments. Your afternoon game drive takes place in the late afternoon and before sunset. You'll enjoy a refreshing drink while you watch the sunset. You'll then be driven back to the lodge as the tracker shines his spotlight through the bush in search of nocturnal species. When you arrive back at the lodge, you might enjoy a hearty meal around the boma (fireplace) where you can chat to other guests about the events of the day.

Day 5 Hazyview

You'll head out on your last morning game drive of the trip. After breakfast, you'll be collected by your private driver for your scenic transfer to the town of Hazyview. The transfer covers a few stops on the Panorama Route and you can get your camera out for a few snaps of the Blyde River Canyon in the distance.

Day 6 Vilanculos

You'll be collected by your driver for your private transfer to Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport. Once you arrive, check in for your flight to Vilanculos in Mozambique.

Once you arrive, settle in and enjoy the rest of the afternoon at leisure before an early dinner.
