The tour departs Johannesburg (Pretoria) at 07:30 for the park. We take a brief pit stop for lunch before arriving and settling in to our bungalow. An afternoon game drive is in order! We arrive back to camp to a sunset braai (barbecue) cooked by your guide. Take a load off and enjoy the camp fire as we take in the beauty of the park at night and get ready for the days to come.
We hit the ground running on day 2 at 05:30 with coffee and biscuits before departing for a sunrise game drive in an open top vehicle. We return to camp for a hearty breakfast and some leisure time. The middle of the day can be quite hot so a chance to lounge by the pool is most welcome. We continue on in search of the BIG 5 by visiting alternative parts of the park. We like to stay in the park as long as possible and look to catch a sunset before returning to camp for dinner.
We depart again early, this time for a guided bush walk, offering us a completely different view of the park. Hungry stomachs will be filled with breakfast at the restaurant afterwards. Once again we'll have some leisure time during the day to either spend by the pool or take in more game. Today we will have an early dinner as we have a fantastic night drive in an open top vehicle organised! Keep your eyes peeled, many of these animals are not visible during the day.
We enjoy our last breakfast before breaking camp and heading out. As a last prize, we take the panoramic route and visit the stunning Three Rondavels and Blyde River Canyon (one of the largest in the world). We'll also briefly explore the heritage town of Pilgrim's Rest before returning to Johannesburg. This town is a living museum to the gold rush days of the past. Arrival at Johannesburg. Tour ends.
