- This afternoon you join your first safari in this Big 5 wildlife reserve. Every morning and evening, guests are taken on a game drive. The animals are habituated to the vehicle, which means that they are used to the vehicle approaching them and know that it never causes them harm. This enables to you to get within 5 to 10 metres of the larger predators; even while they're feasting on a recent kill.
- The night drives allow guests the opportunity to see the nocturnal animals not encountered during the day. Your chances of seeing leopard in particular are a lot higher at night and with a bit of luck you might even encounter the predators such as lion and leopard hunting. During the night drives, your tracker uses a powerful spotlight to search for nocturnal animals.
- Most lodges have a waterhole that attract a number of species during the day and night, so regular sightings of warthog, baboons, elephants, even lions and leopards in front of the lodge can be enjoyed.
- Meal times will be a highlight on your safari stay. Enjoy hearty brunches, al fresco lunches and social dinners with lovely cuisine. End your day with a drink around the camp fire under the African starlit sky.
- After a last morning game drive followed by a lovely breakfast, your ranger will drive you back to Hoedspruit Airport. Board your flight to Johannesburg or Cape Town (own arrangement)
- End of services
