Itinerary

Day 1: (Tue) Kruger Park (D)
Clients depart Hazyview at 12h30 (allowing clients to connect on the Johannesburg shuttle if necessary) in an open safari vehicle to Skukuza for lunch (own account) and an introduction to the Park. Use this opportunity to shop, as there are no shops at our campsites. This area of the Park offers excellent game viewing - we can expect to see general game, possibly lion and elephant and maybe even an elusive leopard. 

The Kruger National Park has identified several 'wilderness' campsites for the exclusive use of the tented safaris within the central section of the Park. Each site, situated in an area of unspoiled natural beauty is rich in bird and animal life.

On arrival guests are shown to their tent before meeting for sundowners and dinner. We hope to be in for a noise filled, exciting evening!

Day 2: (Wed) Kruger Park (BD)
An early rise accompanied by tea and coffee, before setting out to explore one of Africa's greatest game reserves. From our privileged private wilderness sites we have the freedom to access areas of the park rarely visited. Chances of seeing one or allof the famed 'Big Five' are excellent, and of course the smaller plains game species and our wonderful African bird life is prolific. Morning safaris are complemented by delicious 'bush breakfasts' and a siesta is always possible during the heat of the African day! No safari to the Kruger would be complete without visits to sites of historical and cultural importance. Sites such as the Wolhuter Memorial, Orpen Dam and the old trasnport riders' roads all add interest to the day's safaris and bring to life the early pioneering days of the area. 

Day 3: (Thu) Kruger Park (BD)
Early morning wake up accompanied by tea, coffee & biscuits, is followed by our first game drive of the day with brunch at a picnic site. Continue the drive until late morning when we either meet our chef at one of our restcamps or return to camp for brunch. As the afternoon cools down, we make our way back into the bush for an exciting evening safari by spotlight. Dinner is served around our campfire and opportunities exist to view game by spotlight from the campsite. 

Day 4: (Fri) Kruger Park (B)
Our only 'sleep in' of the safari. After breakfast drive via Skukuza back to Hazyview for that final memorable game sighting. Back in Hazyview by 12h00 (giving clients time to connect with the Johannesburg shuttle at 12h30 if required) where The Wolhuter Trail terminates.
