As soon as you step foot in Bundox Safari Lodge, the outside world begins to fade away, becoming quieter and more distant.
Upon landing at Eastgate Airport in Hoedspruit, your guide will greet you and transport you in an open safari vehicle for a short 20-minute transfer to Bundox Safari Lodge.
Enjoy a refreshing drink upon arrival, before a guided tour of your tent, allowing you to settle in and explore the serene, forest-like surroundings. In the afternoon, treat yourself to a rejuvenating 60-minute spa session at Spa@Bundox.
Afterwards, take some time to freshen up before gathering for pre-dinner drinks around the fire in the open-air boma, where you can share stories of life in the bush. A delicious three-course dinner awaits you in the restaurant.
Rise early for a day filled with adventure in the iconic Kruger National Park. Start your morning with coffee and rusks at the lodge before departing at dawn in an open safari vehicle for the 40-minute drive to Orpen Gate. A packed breakfast will be provided to enjoy along the way or at a scenic spot in the park.
Kruger National Park, renowned for its wildlife diversity, is home to the famous Big Five and offers some of the best game viewing opportunities. Your journey will take you through one of the most predator-rich areas, known for frequent sightings of lions, leopards, and elephants.
A stop for lunch (at your own expense) at Satara Rest Camp breaks up the day before you continue your exploration, returning to the lodge just before sunset. After freshening up, enjoy pre-dinner drinks around the fire and reflect on the day’s incredible wildlife encounters before dinner is served.
Following breakfast, embark on a tranquil boat cruise on the Blyde Dam, set against the breathtaking scenery of the Blyde Canyon and the Three Rondavels. Guided by an expert, this peaceful excursion allows you to explore the world’s third-largest canyon, distinguished by its lush, green landscapes.
In the afternoon, visit a nearby wildlife rehabilitation center, where injured and orphaned animals are cared for with the goal of eventual release back into the wild. The center offers insight into conservation efforts, highlighting the challenges of wildlife protection and the dedicated work that goes into caring for these animals. It’s an enlightening and educational experience that fosters a deeper appreciation for wildlife preservation.
Spend the morning at leisure, relaxing by the pool or in a shaded spot with views of the bush. In the afternoon, embark on an exciting game drive in the Greater Kruger National Park, a renowned Big Five area. Accompanied by experienced guides in open safari vehicles, this immersive adventure offers the chance to witness South Africa’s most iconic wildlife in its natural habitat.
The drive is an opportunity not only to spot the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinoceros—but also to explore the park’s rich biodiversity, including other fascinating creatures and bird species.
Strategic stops along the way allow you to take in the scenery, capture memorable photos, and deepen your understanding of the natural world. A game drive in Greater Kruger promises a truly unforgettable experience in the heart of the African wilderness.
On your final day, enjoy one last stunning African sunrise. Begin with a refreshing coffee during a peaceful nature walk, soaking in the tranquil surroundings. After breakfast, you will be collected for your transfer back to Eastgate Airport in Hoedspruit, marking the conclusion of your incredible journey.

Keith Chideme is fantastic!
If you’re looking for someone to help you plan the trip of a lifetime, look no further than Keith Chideme. Keith has been nothing short of extraordinary in helping me create a month-long dream trip to South Africa for myself and 11 family members. His patience, kindness, and thoughtfulness throughout the entire process have been remarkable. Keith went above and beyond, engaging in countless conversations to make sure every detail of our six-destination itinerary was just right. He worked tirelessly to balance my budget with my desire for an unforgettable experience, finding deals and creative solutions that I would never have managed on my own. His dedication and expertise gave me complete confidence that this trip will be everything I’ve dreamed of and more. One of my favorite aspects of working with Keith was the personal touch he brought to every interaction. Whether through voice messages, phone calls, or texts, he was always patient, thorough, and thoughtful in explaining every aspect of the itinerary. I never once felt rushed or overlooked—he truly cared about making this trip perfect for us. I can’t imagine planning this trip without Keith. Knowing he has my back has been such a comfort, and I feel completely at ease knowing we are in such capable hands. My entire family is incredibly excited about this incredible adventure, and I know I’ll be contacting Keith for all my future travel plans. He is an absolute gem and a true professional. Thank you, Keith, for everything!

Pascal John at Safari.com guided me on different safari lodges (experience, rating), and most importantly knew about specials (buy 3 nights, get 4th for free) which allowed my family to secure a 5-star location at a more reasonable rate. Great advice, responsive and knowledgeable!
