Day 1 :
We leave Johannesburg and drive eastwards via Witbank and Middelburg to Nelspruit, and enter the Kruger National Park in the southern end of the Park. Our encounter with the wildlife starts here. Tonight we arrive at our camp. Listen to the sounds of the African night, perhaps we can hear hyena or lion calls, and an orchestra of crickets and other nocturnal species will fill the night.
Overnight: Skukuza Rest Camp or similar, Kruger Park. (D)
| Day 2 : |
Today is completely devoted to wildlife viewing as we search for the 'Big 5' as well as other animals. As we drive along we hope to see several varieties of mammals, birds and reptiles. Not knowing what will meet us around the next corner adds to the attraction of visiting Kruger Park. Your guide will give information about the species seen, and answer any questions you may have. We reach our camp at sunset. Some may want to take an optional night- drive in an open safari vehicle utilising high powered spotlights to find the nocturnal animals.
Overnight: Satara Rest Camp or similar, Kruger Park. (B,D)
|
| Day 3 : |
After a final safari drive and breakfast, we leave the park and drive via Klaserie and the Abel Erasmus Pass, up the "Escarpment". See Blyde River Canyon with the majestic "Three Rondavels". On to Bourke's Luck Potholes where you can take a walking tour of this area to see strange geological formations formed by the confluence of two rivers. Continue to God's Window and the Pinnacle Rock. Travel down Kowyn's Pass, to our hotel.
Overnight: Lone Creek River Lodge or similar. (B,D)

Day 4
Drive to Pilgrim's Rest, the early gold mining town turned into a living museum. Rich deposits of alluvial gold were found here at the end of the 19th century, hence the existence of the town deep in the mountains. We stop at the Lone Creek falls before returning to Johannesburg late afternoon. (B)
