The early morning hours are the absolute best time of day for spotting wildlife, especially predators, and we’ll set off from the lodge to be in the Kruger at sunrise.
Your guide will choose the best areas of the park to explore on today’s Kruger Park game drive. During this morning’s game drive, we will keep a lookout for the Big 5.
The lodge will arrange breakfast packs and after about 3 hours of driving, your guide will stop for a breakfast and bathroom break.
We then continue with the safari. During the safari, we will visit rivers and watering holes as well as the vast open plains and the park’s Bushveld regions, travelling through various eco zones.
We then stop for lunch at a rest camp, where this meal will be on your own account. While here there will be time to do some curio shopping or to indulge in a cold beer!
We arrive back at between 15:30 and 16:00 pm, with enough time to relax, swim and have a laidback dinner.

Today we visit God’s Window, Bourke’s Luck Potholes, Blyde River Canyon (the world’s 3rd largest canyon), Lisbon Waterfalls, the 3 Rondavels and the town of Graskop, some of the most iconic destinations on South Africa’s world-famous Panorama Route!
We start the morning with a filling hot breakfast at the lodge at 07:00 am. Your guide will meet you at 08:00 am in a comfortable, closed air-conditioned vehicle.
The Panorama Route begins 45 minutes outside of Hazyview.
The route we take will have us climb almost 1000 meters up into the otherworldly Northern Drakensberg Mountain Range. The temperatures up here are a lot cooler than Hazyview, so bring a jacket as well as comfortable walking shoes, as there will be plenty of invigorating walks on this day.
After a morning of exploring the Panorama Route’s beautiful natural attractions, we stop in the mountain town of Graskop for lunch and some curio shopping. The town is famous for its pancakes and our lunch venue for the day will be the pancake restaurant. There are some lovely locally owned shops waiting to be explored and guests will have more than enough time to enjoy a slow stroll through the town.
We will arrive back at the lodge at about 16:00 pm after an unforgettable day out. There is time to have a drink and to take a dip in the pool before you tuck into a filling dinner at the lodge, before turning in for an early night.

We again depart before the sun is up for our morning safaris. The early, cool morning hours are the best time of day for viewing wildlife including predators like lions and hyenas, who are mostly active during the early hours of the day. Your guide will today try to find animals and exploring regions not yet seen or covered during the previous safari. The Kruger National Park is home to 148 mammal species and over 500 bird species. No safari is ever the same and there is always something new and interesting to see.
The Kruger has a huge network of roads to explore and our guides, who know the park so well, will drive in different areas of the park during the different seasons, giving our clients the maximum opportunity to see more of the beautiful wilderness, wildlife and vegetation.
We will return to the lodge at around 11 am and today we are relaxing and enjoying an afternoon of leisure. You can swim, stretch your legs with a walk around the lodge, try our local beers, or just enjoy our great African weather. Breakfast, a light lunch and dinner, are included.
