Day 1 :
Collect your rental car in Johannesburg and drive north into the Waterberg region. After approximately 3 hours’ driving you arrive at your reserve – Entabeni Game Reserve – and Wildside Camp. After lunch, set off on your first safaridrive. In this reserve you will find a vast variety of large and small game species including the “Big Five” as well as many bird species. The terrain in this beautiful game reserve varies from bushveld to unspoilt ravines and wooded hillsides. Some of these are wilderness areas, only accessible by foot or horseback. The area is malaria-free and promises to provide a memorable blend of luxury and rugged experiences in the wilderness. Return to camp for dinner.

An open vehicle safari at Entabeni Safari Conservancy is an exhilarating experience for nature and wildlife lovers. Open 4x4 vehicles ensure close encounters with the “Big Five” and numerous wildlife species. Qualified and knowledgeable game rangers will take visitors on an educational journey of breathtaking scenery, diverse vegetation and prolific bird- and wildlife.
There are also optional horseback safaris which can be booked at the lodge: These one and two hour horse rides is an additional game viewing activity. Guests with little or no previous riding experience are able to participate in this activity.

South Africa Travel Guide
Do visitors need a visa to travel to South Africa?
Visitors from most Western European countries, Japan, and USA don't require visas. If you aren't entitled to an entry permit, you'll need to get a visa before you arrive.
Can you book a rental car in South Africa or should you arrange car hire in your own country before departure?
If essential, book car rental prior to coming to South Africa, as car rental companies might be fully booked when you get here. However, there are a number of well-known car rental companies to choose from at international airports and in locations across the country, so on the spot bookings should generally not be a problem.
Does one need an international driver's license for South Africa?
Foreign driving licenses are valid in South Africa for up to 6 months, but must be printed in English. However if you don't have such a license, you'll need to get an International Driving Permit.
