Day 1 – Kruger Park
This morning you will be met at Mpumalanga Airport and transferred to the Kruger National Park, a scenic 2-hour drive.

Hopefully we will see several species of antelope, zebra, wildebeest and maybe even giraffe before we reach camp.
Check in to your luxury private camp, situated in the Timbavati or Sabi Sands sectors of the Kruger National Park. Settle-in and relax in your outdoor bushveld surroundings before enjoying your first game drive in an open-top game viewing vehicle accompanied by a lodge ranger. Then enjoy a delicious dinner in the outdoor Boma, as you relax and enjoy the atmosphere that only the African bushveld can provide.

Hopefully we will see at least one of the Big Five today - Lion, Elephant, Buffalo, Leopard and Rhino, before returning to camp for breakfast.
The rest of the morning is free for relaxing at camp or beside the swimming pool. Alternatively enjoy a Guided Walk with a lodge ranger, to study some of the smaller animals, insects and trees of the park.

With over 500 different bird species in the park, outstanding bird watching is also guaranteed - including eagles, vultures, storks, fish eagles and kingfishers.
