ENQUIRIES AND RESERVATIONS

Day one - Blyde River Canyon resort / Kruger Park
We collect you from your overnight accommodation or on arrival at the Airport in Johannesburg . Drive to the scenic Drakensberg Escarpment through the agricultural and mining rich 'highveld'. Visit Pilgrim's Rest, God's Window, Waterfalls, Bourkes Luck Potholes and The Three Rondavels - Overnight

Our meals will be at wayside cafes en route to and from the Parks. In the game reserve we will have breakfast and dinners in the restaurants.
Breakfast offers one, from cereals, porridge, fruit, juice, yoghurts through to a full cooked breakfast with eggs, bacon and then generally sausages and tomatoes or the like. Dinners are generally buffet style. Soup, fish, a variety of meat dishes, though usually a choice of roasts (sometimes venison is on the menu as an option) with vegetables, ending in sweets, cheese and biscuits and coffee. Lunches are usually snack type at one of the camps or at picnic stop cafes. Here the choice is limited to sandwiches and the like.

Day two and three - Kruger Park restcamps
Kruger National Park for two nights, Bungalow accommodation. Here the rooms have twin beds, each a private shower, toilet and handbasin en-suite. The brick under thatch rooms are equipped with airconditioning and a fridge. There is insect proof screening on the doors and windows. You will be provided with bath and hand towels as well as soap.

Full daily game viewing programme including a night drive in an open game viewing vehicle. This to improve on your chances of seeing some of the nocturnal species such as leopard (always difficult to find), lion, hyena, genet, bush babies and then the other nocturnal animals such as the owls and nightjars. You also get to see most of the diurnal animals, their eyes lighting up like a little town when you chance on a herd of Impala. Kruger is an excellent venue with good sightings of lion, elephant, giraffe, zebra, buffalo, wildebeest, kudu, warthog, baboon, monkey, hippo and impala regularly seen. The more elusive animals like cheetah, leopard and wild dog are an exciting find. Option to go on a walk in the bush with an armed field ranger - included, adults only.

Day four - Ntshondwe Camp, Ithala Game Reserve
Depart Kruger Park, travel through to northern Zululand and the Ithala Game Reserve. The Ithala experience combines excellent facilities with superb game viewing and bird watching in a beautiful setting. Of the 30000 ha, about a quarter is open bushveld and much of the remaining area consists of steep valleys with dense vegetation. Very different to the flat, open terrain of the Kruger Park.
Animals occurring in the reserve, that are considered rare and endangered include, greater bushbaby, caracal, leopard, honey-badger, brown hyena, pangolin, tsessebe and the martial eagle amongst others. Good sightings of eland, red hartebeest and mountain reedbuck are regularly enjoyed.
Overnight Ntshondwe Camp.

Day five - Hilltop Camp, Hluhluwe Imfolozi Park
We leave the Itala Game Reserve travelling through rural Zululand and proceed to the Hluhluwe Imfolozi Park where we would spend the night at the world renowned, Hilltop Camp. The accommodation here is brick under thatch chalets, each with their own private bathroom. The meals would be at the excellent Mapunye restaurant.

This is the game reserve famous for "Operation Rhino" which brought the white rhino back from the brink of extinction. Now you should see just how successful the Nature Conservation Service has been.
Sightings of rhino, giraffe, buffalo, wildebeest, zebra, warthog, baboon. vervet monkey, with antelope such as impala, nyala and kudu frequently seen and with the possibility of seeing lion, leopard, cheetah, elephant, black rhino, hippo, crocodile, monitor lizards, hyena and antelope such as red bush duiker, steenbuck, waterbuck, eland, reedbuck, bushbuck and then the rare Samango monkey and Wild Dog, much less frequently.

Day six - Lake St Lucia
This morning we will go on an early morning bush walk with an armed field ranger. This is one of the highlights of the trip in my opinion and here you get to track the animals and we often get comfortably in sight of animals such as white rhino. The black rhino is given a wide berth should we chance on one of those more cantankerous of pachyderms - optional, included, adults only. 

Visit a Zulu cultural village - optional, included - and then on to Lake St Lucia to overnight at a Lodge close to the Lake shore. Sundowners overlooking the Lake with the possibility of seeing hippo leaving for their nocturnal grazing grounds.

Day seven - Durban
Early morning cruise on Lake St Lucia which was recently proclaimed a World Heritage Site - hippo, crocodile and excellent birding, arriving in cosmopolitan Durban late afternoon, travelling via the scenic Dolphin Coast.
