DAY 1 | MPUMALANGA

We depart Johannesburg early at 6.30am and head east towards Mpumalanga. During the afternoon we visit the gold mining town of Pilgrims Rest, and the viewpoint over God’s Window.

DAY 2 - 3 | KRUGER PRIVATE GAME RESERVE

Blyde River canyon is our first long morning walk as we walk from the rim of the escarpment down into the canyon with views over the Three Sisters and the river below.

After lunch we make our way to a private game reserve in the Lowveld, and enjoy an afternoon game drive leading into a night drive with a spot light.

DAY 4 | KRUGER NATIONAL PARK

This is Big game country, where we spend the day in search of the elusive leopard, the majestic lion and the mighty elephant. We game drive south through the reserve as your professional guides will impart their extensive knowledge of ecology, fauna and flora during our time in the bush.

DAY 5 - 6 | KINGDOM OF SWAZILAND

We enter the Kingdom of Swaziland and travel through a lush fruit farming area before heading into the mountains. We spend 2 nights on the outskirts of Malalotja Nature Reserve with a full day to walk through this seldom explored mountainous reserve.

Crossing into South Africa we head towards our lodge on a private game reserve. En route we enjoy a game drive in Mhkuze Game Reserve and watch wildlife from a secluded hide. The following morning we visit Hluhluwe Game reserve, a key area for rhino conservation and visit a Zulu village.

We leave the coastline and make our way through the scenic hills and valleys of Zululand to the small town of Dundee.

Witness the grandeur of the Drakensberg Mountains or uKhahlamba “Barrier of Spears”. We overnight at the base of the “berg” (alt. 1,600m) and spend a full day walking the mountain trails before taking an invigorating dip in the clear mountain streams of the Royal Natal National Park.

We start the day with an early breakfast and make our way to Witsieshoek at the foot of the magnificent Sentinel Peak. At the end of a rough gravel road we start our trek, including a short chain ladder section, to the top of the Drakensberg Amphitheatre and the beautiful Tugela Falls (alt. 3,000m), offering unparalleled views down into KwaZulu-Natal.
