Day 1 Johannesburg

Day 2 Panorama Route/ Greater Kruger National Park

Days 3-4 Kruger National Park

The wildlife experience begins on passing through the gates of the Kruger. An open vehicle night drive is a chance to see the savannah's most secretive animals before enjoying a traditional braai (barbecue) around the campfire. An early morning breakfast and a steaming mug of coffee will kickstart a day of game viewing and bird watching.

Day 5 Hlane Royal National Park

Enjoy Swazi song and dance at a cultural village before continuing on to the Hlane to track white rhinos on foot. Listen out for the rumbling roar of lions, the symbol of this tiny kingdom, while tucked up safe in the cozy lodge.

Days 6-7 Ponta d'Ouro/ Mozambique Beach Camp

Cross the border into Mozambique, home to 2,500 km of stunning sandy coastline with jade waters full of tropical fish. There's plenty of time here so dive in to explore the perfectly unspoilt coral reefs or perhaps just relax and enjoy the lush setting.

Day 8 Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Park/ St Lucia Estuary

Visit South Africa's most celebrated park - the Hluhluwe-Imfolozi, home to the Big Five and a whole lot more. Spend the evening on the banks of Lake St Lucia, where a huge diversity of species live. In the evening retire to a historic Zululand homestead.

Day 9 Durban

The inviting sands of Durban are the golden finale to this exploration.
