Kruger National Park
We spend the next 3 days in the Kruger National Park. This
2 million-hectare haven is home to the Big Five and many
other species of animal, bird and plant. Kruger Park is a
premier local and international Game Park, featuring, apart
from its excellent camps, wonderful views and tranquil
settings.
The Park features excellent drives through both dense bush
and dry scrub. Whilst in the Park, most of the time will
be filled with game viewing on early morning and evening
drives, discovering the inner beauty of this memorable
Park. This is where you can explore your photographic
skills, or even just capture the sight of this incredible
variety of wildlife as a memory back home. Our nights are
spent at various main and private tented camps and bungalows
throughout the Park, with nights 2 & 3 in one camp.

Private Game Reserve
After breakfast and a morning’s game drive we head to a
magnificent Private Game Reserve, world renowned for
reintroducing animals to the wild and its Lion breeding
project where we spend both nights. You can get to know
and feed Lion and baby elephant at this stunning lodge.
Dinner is served in a traditional “Boma” around a blazing
fire.
Activities during these days include a visit to the
Hoedspruit Research and Breeding Centre for Endangered
Species (Cheetah and Wild Dogs). From here we go to the
Nyani Tribal Village which is of the Shangaan cultural
heritage. We will enjoy their traditional food at lunch,
and be thrilled by their exhilarating dancing. We will
also visit the Moholoholo Wildlife and Birds of Prey
Rehabilitation Centre. Thereafter we return to the
Bushcamp for our evening meal.

region has to offer with stops including the Blyde River Canyon

1873, an old mining town with its original shops and boundaries
which have been restored. We lunch en route at one of the picnic
spots. Our last night ‘s stop is at Dullstroom, a beautiful
highland village with its attractive stone structure buildings
amongst historic beech and elm trees, streams and lakes filled
