Travelling to the Kingdom of Swaziland and on to Mkuzi we take
guided game walks, the perfect way to savour the sounds and sights
of the bush and hopefully see rhino on foot! We also have a day
discovering the famous Zulu battlefields at Isandalwana and Rorkes
Drift and time to relax at St Lucia. The UNESCO protected wetlands,
home to hippos, bushbuck and monkeys, is a great place to cruise
and stroll amongst the sand dunes. We also visit the Kruger National
Park and experience some wonderful game vieiwing.
Kruger and Zulus Safari Detailed Itinerary
| Day 1: |
Johannesburg - Graskop |
|
|
We first pick up the land only clients from
the start hotel and then proceed to the airport for the group
arrival flight before heading further east to Mpumalanga.
This scenic journey takes in Longtom Pass, Lone Creek Falls
and the impressive Mac Mac Falls. This is a fairly long driving
day but we have stops at the above attractions and there is
time for a picnic lunch en route. We arrive in Grasskop in
the later afternoon and stay in our chalets on the edge of
the escarpment. |
| Day 2: |
Kruger National Park |
|
|
This morning we travel along the panoramic
route. On the way we stop at God's window viewpoint, Bourke's
Luck Potholes and the spectacular Blyde River Canyon. After
lunch we head to the flagship Kruger National Park with its
wealth of game. We game drive to our camp and can expect to
see antelope, wildebeest, elephant and zebra. |
| Day 3: |
Kruger National Park |
|
|
Today we take our Mercedes sprinter and have
a morning and afternoon game drive in the Kruger NP. This
is justifiably one of the most famous wildlife parks in the
world. It is also one of the oldest being established by the
ZAR president Paul Kruger in 1898. It has a great variety
of animals with lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, black and
white rhino, as well as cheetah, giraffe, hippo and many species
of antelope and smaller plains game. The total census includes
147 mammals, 507 birds, 114 reptiles as well as 336 different
trees. The landscape is beautiful as well as intriguing. If
you see all the predators you will be very lucky, however
you will almost certainly see some of the big five and a huge
variety of smaller mammals. With two game drives today, we
maximise our chances of seeing the plentiful fauna of this
great Park. |
| Day 4: |
Swaziland |
|
|
We take one final game drive in Kruger Park
before heading across the border in to the Kingdom of Swaziland.
Our destination is Hlane, the King of Swaziland's traditional
hunting reserve, now a game reserve. In the afternoon we arrive
at the reserve and there is time to relax around the waterhole
at sunset for a chance to see the rhinos come down and drink
|
| Day 5: |
Mkuzi |
|
|
This morning we go on a guided game walk through
the reserve with a very good chance to see rhino on foot as
well as many other indigenous game. After brunch we drive
through the mountainous landscape of Swaziland and cross the
border back in to South Africa. We arrive at our next stop,
Mkuzi game reserve in the later afternoon. |
| Day 6: |
Mkuzi |
|
|
We take another guided game walk this morning
with a park ranger, often a highlight for many as you can
really explore the flora and fauna of the reserve. Seeing
animals and tracks outside of the confines of a vehicle is
a thrilling experience and gives us the chance to see and
hear the variety of smaller animals and birds that are often
passed by on game drives. We take a late brunch at one of
the pans or hides. In the afternoon we go in our Mercedes
sprinter and have a long game drive. |
| Day 7: |
St Lucia |
|
|
We head towards the coast and to the world
heritage site of St Lucia wetlands. The Greater St Lucia Wetlands
Park is one of the most diverse regions in South Africa with
five different eco-systems. It became a listed UNESCO World
Heritage Site in 1999 and stretches 280kms to the Mozambique
border. On arrival we walk through the sand dune forest, have
close encounters with some crocs at a crocodile farm and enjoy
a cruise on the estuary and through the mangroves in search
of hippos, crocodiles and the huge array of bird life. |
| Day 8: |
Natal Midlands |
|
|
Today we have an early start as we drive through
the Natal midlands and visit the battle sites of Isandlwana
and Rorkes Drift, stirring places to visit and virtually unchanged
since the Zulu-British battles of 1879. We arrive at our country
lodge in the late afternoon. |
| Day 9: |
Johannesburg |
|
|
Today we have a relaxing morning and visit
the Talana museum which is set in beautiful grounds, before
heading back to Johannesburg. |
