For your transfer, we will meet you at the O.R. Tambo International Airport (Johannesburg) Shuttle Terminal. Please arrive at 11:45 prepared and wait. Following the processing of your reservation, you will receive confirmation numbers and comprehensive instructions for the shuttle. Your ride will pick you up from the airport precisely at 12:00, and you should arrive at the lodge between 18:00 and 19:30.
The kind staff will bring you to your accommodation and help with check-in. You are welcome to join us for a delectable meal in the dining area or terrace following a quick shower. The manager on duty will provide you with further information about the region and your schedule.
You may purchase drinks, including alcoholic ones, at the cash bar.
You may unwind on the balcony after supper or spend the night in your room. We advise obtaining a good night's sleep because your exciting full-day game drive tomorrow requires an early morning wake-up.
