Kruger Park - Bushveld Safari - Fully Escorted 5 day Tour €525
This tour departs from Johannesburg every Sunday in 2008
The Mpumalanga area is one of great contrast, bordered in the west by the towering escarpment with lush indigenous forests, crystal-clear streams and plunging waterfalls, and then falling away into the flat Lowveld indigenous bushveld, home to one of the richest diversities of fauna and flora in the world. Various private reserves and the renowned Kruger National Park are located in this area. We spend time both in Kruger National Park and on our own private reserve bordering the Kruger Park. Being privately owned we are able to conduct walking trails and open vehicle drives on our property.
DAY 1: JOHANNESBURG - BUSH CAMP (D)
We depart in the morning to travel the scenic road to Mpumalanga. Along the way we visit Dullstroom, Long Tom Pass, Sabie, a plunging waterfall, the quaint historic town of Pilgrim's Rest, Bourkes Luck Potholes and the Blydepoort Nature Reserve. Thereafter we travel down the escarpment to the Lowveld bushveld where we overnight in our luxury DRIFTERS BUSH CAMP bordering the Kruger Park. The tented Camp is tastefully designed, totally blending in with the surrounding bush and offers comfortable beds, en-suite bathrooms and a refreshing swimming pool.
DAY 2: BUSHVELD CAMP (BRUNCH D)We start the day with a cup of coffee and rusks, before setting off on a game walk. We walk for approximately 3 hours in search of game, stopping regularly to learn more about the ways of the bush. Return to camp for a late morning brunch. A Drifters guide and tracker leads all walks. After the walk, it's time to relax around the pool and to enjoy the camp. Thereafter we conduct an open vehicle game drive, which develops into an extensive night drive. This provides us with the opportunity of viewing nocturnal animals, otherwise not normally seen. This evening we enjoy a hearty
bush braai and an evening's relaxation. Fall asleep to the sounds of the wild
DAY 3:
KRUGER NATIONAL PARK (B L D)We leave our bush camp in the morning to travel the short distance to the world-renowned Kruger National Park, to spend the whole day game viewing. Enjoy a picnic lunch. Accommodation is in bungalows at one of the park's rest camps.
DAY 4: HAZYVIEW (B L D)After another extensive game drive following breakfast, we leave the park and head for the sleepy settlement of Hazyview.
