Description
Day 1: Johannesburg – Hazyview
Welcome to South Africa! At the time indicated, we'll pick you up from O. R. Tambo International Airport (Johannesburg airport) or a hotel within a 5-kilometre (3-mile) radius of the terminal. From here, we'll head northwest.
After a 4-hour journey, we'll arrive at a comfortable lodge in Hazyview, where, after having a light lunch, you can relax until the evening. When the sun is about to set, we'll pick you up and go north, where we'll see a romantic sunset in Kruger National Park. You'll remember this magical sunset over the African Savanna forever!
Then, we'll return to the lodge for dinner and rest for the rest of the evening.
Day 2: Hazyview – Kruger National Park– Hazyview
We'll wake up before the sun rises and start exploring the most visited natural reserve in South Africa. Firstly, we'll enjoy an unforgettable sunrise safari in Kruger National Park. Dawn is the best time of the day to spot the African Big Five: lions, leopards, rhinoceros, buffalos and elephants.
After a 3-hour safari, we'll take a break to relax and enjoy a traditional picnic breakfast we prepared earlier. Once we've finished up here, we'll continue the safari and admire the countryside in Kruger. We'll see beautiful rivers and savanna planes.
Then, we'll stop at a campsite in Kruger where you can go to the bathroom and have lunch at your own expense. Finally, we'll return to the lodge in Hazyview. You'll have the rest of the afternoon free at the accommodation to make the most of sunbathing and swimming in the pool. Additionally, you'll have dinner included –the perfect end to an exciting day.
Day 3: Hazyview – Kruger National Park - Hazyview - Johannesburg
On the third day, we'll follow the same morning routine as the day before. We'll wake up before sunrise and travel into Kruger National Park, where we'll enjoy a sunrise safari once more, trying to spot the animals we didn't see the day before.
After the safari and another traditional picnic breakfast, we'll return to the lodge at Hazyview, where we'll arrive around midday. Once here, we'll collect our luggage and take you to the airport in Johannesburg. We'll arrive here between 5-6 pm. Safe flight!
