Itinerary

Day 1: Safari Adventure begins

Today you depart from Johannesburg's OR Tambo Airport to Hoedspruit Airport. On arrival, you will be met and transferred to Imbali Safari lodge for check-in. (Flights beginning/ending in Cape Town are available at a surcharge)

Imbali Safari Lodge offers a luxury safari experience, within a 100 square kilometre private concession, in the iconic Big Five, Kruger National Park. Enjoy spacious suites with private splash pools, and massage treatments.

In the late afternoon, you will head out with your guide and tracker for an afternoon game drive through the reserve in search of wildlife including the Big 5. Savour the rich smells of the bush, hear the shrill calls of the Magpie Shrike & see the wind blowing through the feather grass dotting the savannah plains. On game drives, safari vehicles are permitted to leave the road and drive off-road to get closer to the wildlife and capture that perfect image.

Arrive back at the lodge in time to freshen up before enjoying a sumptuous dinner.

Accommodation: Imbali Safari Lodge

Day 2-3: Kruger National Park

An early morning wake-up call starts the day, followed by a freshly brewed cup of tea or coffee and rusks before setting off on a morning game drive.

The cooler morning temperatures mean that the game in the reserve is often more active, and the softer light makes for incredible photographs. Guests will enjoy some of Kruger’s most spectacular landscapes and an extraordinary variety of wildlife, birdlife, and plant life within the Mluwati Concession, ensuring that each safari experience is unique.

Return to the lodge for breakfast, after which you will have time to relax by the pool and read a good book, or enjoy views of the Nwaswitsontso River from your own private deck.

Later in the afternoon, you will head out on your afternoon game drive, which may continue beyond dusk, and return back to the lodge to enjoy dinner and some reminiscing about the day’s sightings.

Accommodation: Imbali Safari Lodge

Day 4: End of Safari

After one final game drive and a warm heartening breakfast, you bid farewell to the African bush as you transfer back to the airport in time to catch your flight back to Johannesburg's OR Tambo Airport. Here, you will connect with your onward travel arrangements.

Great advice, responsive and knowledgeable!
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!
