Spend 10 days savouring the sights of Southern Africa. Explore the countless attractions of Cape Town, spot the Big Five on Safari at Lion Sands and head to the Nitani Private Game Reserve in Botswana to complete your unforgettable wilderness experience!
Day 1-5: Cape Town, Cape Cadogan
Upon arrival at Cape Town International Airport, you will be met and transferred to the Cape Cadogan, a beautifully decorated boutique hotel in the heart of the city. Trendy Kloof Street is just footsteps away with its bars, restaurants and bohemian atmosphere while Table Mountain and the beautiful beaches of Clifton and Camps Bay are just a short drive away.
You have a few days at leisure to savour the sights and sounds of South Africa's most celebrated city. Included in your itinerary is a full day guided tour of Cape Town, and there are many more things to do, such as visit the Cape Winelands, climb Table Mountain, relax on the breathtaking beaches and visit the infamous Robben Island.
Accommodation: Cape Cadogan (Bed and Breakfast)
Day 5-8: Lion Sands Private Game Reserve, Kruger National Park
After a magical time in the Mother City, 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 four-star Lion Sands River Lodge, a private and exclusive retreat on the banks of the teeming Sabie River. The 18 luxurious, thatched bedrooms all have an en-suite bathroom, outdoor and inside shower and a wooden viewing deck overlooking the river.
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 River Lodge
Full board basis including all local drinks and game activities
Day 8-10: Nitani Private Game Reserve, Botswana
You will catch a private charter flight out of the Sabi Sand Reserve and across the border into Botswana. You will be met and transferred to Nitani Private Game Reserve which borders South Africa and Zimbabwe in the Northern Tuli Game Reserve. You will be staying at Nitani Lodge with its five raised suites on the banks of the Majali River. The camp caters for a maximum of 10 guests ensuring an exclusive experience for you and your loved ones.
Relax on your verandah as elephants browse through the undergrowth and savour the endless views of the untamed wilderness. Enjoy game drives and bush walks, getting up close and personal with elephant, lion, leopard, cheetah, giraffe and eland as well as common plains game and over 350 bird species.
