4-Day Private Game Reserve + National Park Safari Itinerary
You will board your shuttle early in the morning and have a lovely trip across three regions of our great nation. You will meet your Khalanga Safaris guide along the route and take in the scenery of the Northern Drakensberg Mountains. Later, you will settle into your lodge and have supper under the stars and the light of a fire.
Main destination: Hoedspruit (town).
Accommodation: Ukuthula Bush Lodge.
You will rise early to get the most of our Kruger safari. You will spend the morning searching for all of the species, including the Big Five. To optimize wildlife viewing possibilities, the committed and expert field guide will visit dams, waterholes, and riverbeds frequented by animals. He will also show you different settings and explain the relevance of plants and soil to the many animal species that reside there.
Later in the morning, you will stop at one of the picnic areas or the rest camp to have the lodge's breakfast. You will have lunch at one of the rest camps (at your own expense). You will continue your safari in the afternoon before returning to the resort for supper.
All game drives are performed in an open safari vehicle, which provides the ideal vantage position for watching and photographing animals from high above the shrubs and grasses.
Main Destination: Kruger National Park.
Accommodation: Ukuthula Bush Lodge
Today, you will visit a rural African hamlet characteristic of the region around Kruger National Park. This is a genuine village; therefore, no one will act for you; however, the community leaders do favor inviting foreign guests to observe how they live. On this real and ethical trip, you are unlikely to meet any other visitors. The price includes lunch in the village. In the afternoon, you will travel to Tshukudu's Game Reserve to participate in a shared afternoon game drive before returning to camp for a delicious supper provided by your own guide. You will spend your last night on safari at Tshukudu Woods Camp, where you will stay in a lovely hut in the woods.
Main destination: Tshukudu Private Game Reserve.
Accommodation: Tshukudu Bush Camp.
Depending on the time of year, you may go on a morning walk in the reserve with a Tshukudu Ranger. Alternatively, you may have a leisurely breakfast at camp before we transport you back to the shuttle departure point, where you can say goodbye. You will arrive at OR Tambo Airport at 5:00 p.m.
Main destination: Johannesburg (city).
Accommodation: There is no accommodation at the end of the excursion.
