Day 1 – Arrival in the private reserve

Today you will arrive at a private reserve near Kruger National Park. The reserve has the same vegetation and animal species as the park and, with a higher density of wildlife, you’re likely to spot even more animals here! Your family’s accommodation is a comfortable safari lodge set in the heart of the bush, meaning you may see some animals roaming nearby. You will always be accompanied by a guide in the camp, just in case you happen to run into any wildlife while you’re here – but it doesn’t happen often. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all included , and we’ll book in your wildlife safaris, so your stay is hassle free. This afternoon you’ll head out on your first game drive with an experienced guide. Keep your binoculars close to hand and your eyes peeled…

Day 2 – In search of the Big 5

It’s an early start today for a sunrise game drive before breakfast. You’ll head out with an experienced guide and tracker to follow the animals’ footprints. With your expert tracker sitting at the front of the vehicle, you should have the best chance at spotting some epic wildlife. In these private reserves, only the local safari lodges can organise game drives so you won’t come across many other cars. Keep your eyes peeled for any of the larger animal species that inhabit the reserve, including lions, elephants, cheetahs, leopards, rhinos and hyenas. After all the excitement, you’ll be ready for a big breakfast, so it’s time to head back to your lodge. You’ll have some time to relax before lunch so let the children splash around in the pool while you search the treetops for the 350 species of birds that nest here.

This afternoon you’ll head out on another game drive to spot more wildlife. Enjoy your final evening at the safari lodge, eating a delicious meal by the campfire and sharing highlights from the last few wildlife-packed days.
