5 day Kruger Private Game Lodge

Day 1

Early start - 5.00 am. We depart Johannesburg, the city of Gold and head off on an adventure of a lifetime. Travel time from Johannesburg to Kruger today is approximately 9 hours including stops. We arrive in time for lunch at our Lodge in Greater Kruger National Park. After some time to settle in, we head off on a late afternoon/evening Big Five game drive in open 4x4 vehicles in a private game reserve. Sundowner drinks are enjoyed at one of the waterholes before continuing our game drive into the night. After an exciting evening, we return to camp to enjoy a traditional South African meal around a log fire.

Meals included: Lunch, Dinner

Overnight: Located in the greater Kruger, the Safari lodge, our accommodation for next three nights is wonderfully intimate, with just 14 twin share rooms. Rooms are constructed from local materials and are tastefully decorated and comfortably appointed. The lodge also offers a cozy bar, perfect for chatting with the other guests over a sundowner or two. There is also a crystal clear swimming pool for a refreshing post safari swim. However we think the quality which makes our lodge stand out from the rest is the friendliness and helpfulness of our team... they are committed to making your stay memorable!

Day 2 Kruger National Park

An early rise, as we make our way to the world renowned Kruger National Park. We enter the Kruger Park through one of the central gates, where our wildlife experience unfolds. We enjoy breakfast at one of the picnic spots before continuing through the Park. The entire day will be spent game viewing, bird watching and stopping off at the various waterholes en- route. Our safari takes us along some of the best game drive routes that Kruger has to offer. We depart the Park at in the late afternoon and return to the Lodge for an evening of relaxation. (BD)
