Safari, Spray and Elephants Galore

Day 1-5: Lion Sands Private Game Reserve, Kruger National Park

This tour can begin in either Johannesburg or Cape Town. Whatever the case, you will head to the airport for your direct flight to Kruger Mpumalanga Airport. You will be met and transferred to the Lion Sands Private Game Reserve within the Sabi Sand Game Reserve, a concession adjacent to the Kruger National Park. You will be staying at the five-star Lion Sands Ivory Lodge, a haven of exclusivity, sensitivity and complete privacy. It exudes African Euro elegance while the natural simplicity of the bush is maintained in a harmonious and stylish manner. The entrance area is separate from the main lodge in order to ensure that guests arriving and departing have no impact on other guests.

Staying in the Sabi Sands ensures a more private and privileged experience than in the Kruger Park itself. Rangers need not abide by park rules and can go off-road to get closer to animals, lead you on bush walks tracking Africa's wild beasts and there are night drives, sleep-outs and dinners in the bush. When you are not spotting the Big Five, you can spend your days relaxing at the lodge, lazing by the pool, spoiling yourself with a Spa treatment and feasting on gourmet African cuisine. Lion Sands has been family owned and managed since 1933, thus offering you an exclusive and personalised African Safari!

Accommodation: Lion Sands Ivory Lodge
Full board basis including all local drinks and game activities

Day 5-7: Victoria Falls, Royal Livingstone

All good things come to an end and so it is with your unforgettable Safari! With a kaleidoscope of wildlife memories, you head to Skukuza Airport for your flight to Victoria Falls. You will be utilising our exclusive flight routing between Skukuza and Livingstone Airport, meaning you can avoid Johannesburg, and enjoy a game drive in the morning before seeing the Falls in the afternoon.

Upon arrival, you will be picked up and driven to the five-star Royal Livingstone Hotel, on the Zambian side of Victoria Falls. This colonial style hotel is located within the Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, a World Heritage Site overlooking the mighty Falls. Included in the package is a guided tour of this natural wonder and a Sundowner Cruise on the teeming Zambezi River.

Accommodation: Royal Livingstone Hotel (Bed and Breakfast)

Day 7-10: Chobe National Park, Chobe Chilwero

From Livingstone, you will be transferred in a 4x4 Safari Vehicle across the border and into Botswana where you will make your way to Chobe National Park. It is only an hour drive to Kasane, the nearest town to the park, and you will check into Chobe Chilwero Lodge, a luxury establishment with 15 well-appointed chalets overlooking the Chobe River.

Chobe is probably most well known for its large herds of African Elephants. But this is just the tip of the iceberg - witness the great Zebra migration as the roads become impassable, marvel at the myriad predators roaming the open plains, birdwatch for hours on end and go on escorted game walks with expert guides.

Accommodation: Chobe Chilwero Lodge
Full board basis including all local drinks and game activities
