Upon landing at Skukuza Airport, you will be met and transferred to Lions Sands River Lodge, where you will spend the next 3 nights on safari. After arriving at the lodge and freshening up, get ready for your first shared afternoon game drive.
Transfer Time: ~ 1 1/2 hours
Shared afternoon game drive
The morning game drive starts at sunrise. You will wake up before dawn for tea and coffee before the game drive starts. Then, you are off to find as many animals as possible before they all find trees to hide under in the heat of the day.
When the game drive returns to the lodge, you will be served a delicious hot breakfast and have time to relax. You can sit by the pool, read a book, take a nap, and absorb being out in the bush. Bush walks are on offer, subject to availability and weather conditions.
Then you will enjoy an afternoon game drive and you will return to the lodge for dinner.
Shared morning and afternoon game drive
After your last morning game drive and breakfast, you will be transferred to Skukuza Airport to catch your flight to Cape Town. When you land in Cape Town, you will be picked up and transferred to your hotel. Put your bags down and start exploring this beautiful city and surroundings.
Transfer Time: ~ 50 minutes
Cape Town is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. With so much to do and see, it an be difficult deciding where to start. We highly recommend doing a full day Cape Peninsula Tour, which will showcase the highlights of the city, including the penguins, Cape Point, Kirstenboch Botanical Gardens, Chapmans Peak, Camps Bay and more.
If the weather is clear, catch the cable car to the top of Table Mountain, or catch the ferry to Robben Island to see where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned.
If you are a wine and food lover, a trip to the Cape Winelands is well worth it. The Cape is famous for its wine.
If your flight departs late at night, you will have time to see some more of the city before being picked up and taken to the airport. It is entirely possible that you may feel like 4 days in Cape Town is not enough for you. If you feel like that is the case, please speak to us about adding extra days and day tours to make your stay that much more special.
Transfer Time: ~ 50 minutes
