Itinerary

Scenic Transfer & Sunset Safari

Greater Kruger

Your safari begins with a comfortable transfer from Johannesburg to Umkumbe Safari Lodge in Sabi Sands. After a warm welcome and check-in, enjoy a delicious lunch and some time to unwind. In the late afternoon, set off on your first game drive—an exciting sunset safari that offers a chance to spot big cats and other wildlife. Return to the lodge for a hearty dinner and a peaceful night in the bush.

Umkumbe Safari Lodge Riverside

Safari, Relaxation & More Wildlife

Greater Kruger

Rise early for a sunrise game drive when the animals are most active. After exploring the reserve, return for a full breakfast. The midday hours are perfect for relaxing at the lodge—perhaps by the pool or with a good book. After lunch, head out again for an afternoon game drive. Expect more thrilling sightings before returning for another delicious dinner and your second night in the heart of the wilderness.

Final Safari & Journey Back

Begin your final day with one last early morning game drive, soaking in the quiet beauty of the African bush. After breakfast, check out and say goodbye to the Umkumbe team. You’ll then be transferred back to Johannesburg, arriving in the afternoon with unforgettable memories of Sabi Sands and its incredible wildlife.
