Day 1 - Monday - JHB - Greater Kruger NP
You will be collected from your hotel at first light and transferred to the reserve gate. The journey takes approximately 5 hours with stops along the way. You will meet your ranger at a lovely bush pub at the edge of the reserves, where you will have lunch together. After lunch, we transfer you into open safari vehicles to one of our bush camps in the Greater Kruger National Park. You settle into camp and then set off on an introductory walk/drive and night drive, returning to camp by late evening for dinner.

Day 2 - Tuesday - Greater Kruger NP
We set off at first light after a snack breakfast. We may walk directly from camp or else use a vehicle to get further out. Your ranger will decipher the tracks and signs left by the passing animals. The thrill of walking, tracking and getting up close to one of the creatures of the bush is an unforgettable experience. A big breakfast is prepared back in camp and then there is time to unwind and siesta or spot some birds around the camp. The afternoon activity is a walk/ drive combination. After sundowners you will drive back to camp using a spotlight to search for some of the nocturnal animals. Dinner is served around the fire and then sneak off to bed and listen to the sounds of the night.

Day 3 - Wednesday - Greater Kruger NP
An early start gets you out into the bush on foot on the tracks of Africa's big game. You become more and more aware of your surroundings. Full of excitement and anticipation, it really is the chase that is the prize! On return to c amp a breakfast will ease the empty stomachs and in the afternoon a light lunch is served before getting out to explore a new area. The afternoon activity is a walk/drive combination, followed by sundowners at a beautiful spot in the Reserve and a night drive back to camp. Here your supper and a campfire will be waiting for you.

Day 4 - Thursday - Greater Kruger NP
An early morning start gets you out before the heat of the day sets in. Return to camp for breakfast and siesta and then get out by vehicle to explore the further territories and find those missing species.

Day 5 - Friday - Greater Kruger NP - Mozambique via Kruger NP
After a last morning walk and brunch you leave by open vehicle for the rendezvous point where you will pay for your drinks and the entrance fees (Conservation Levy). When all is settled, you will continue and (when traffic allows it) head for the border post into Mozambique. Late in the afternoon you will arrive at Incomati River Lodge where you will spend the next couple of days relaxing and enjoying all that the lodge has to offer!

Day 6 - 7 Saturday - Sunday - Incomati River Lodge Mozambique
On the banks of the Nkomati River, 35 km north of Maputo lies the delightful Incomati River Lodge. Incomati caters for an exclusive maximum of 8 people in comfortable en suite chalets in an ambiance of absolute peace and tranquility. From the deck one has views up and down the Nkomati River with unique sunsets over the slowly flowing river. Surrounded by sensitive wetlands and reed beds, the abundant birdlife is ever present.

The focus of our leisure activities is based on and around the river and its local communities. Bird walks, canoeing, sunset cruises and excursions over land or water to one of the closeby stunning beaches all add up to an unforgettable Mozambican experience!

Day 8 - Mon - Incomati - JHB International via KMIA Nelspruit
After breakfast and settling your bar bill it is time to reluctantly pack your bags to head back to South Africa. At KMIA Nelspruit you can connect with the shuttle to JHB International, where you will arrive late in the afternoon. Hopefully till we meet again!
