Day 1
The Safari Adventure Begins
Depart from Johannesburg's OR Tambo International Airport to Hoedspruit Airport. On arrival, we will meet and transfer you to Imbali Safari Lodge for check-in. (Flights beginning/ending in Cape Town are available at a surcharge). Imbali Safari Lodge offers a luxury safari experience, within a 100 square kilometer private concession, in the iconic Kruger National Park. Enjoy spacious suites with private splash pools and massage treatments. In the late afternoon, you will head out with your guide and tracker for an afternoon game drive through the reserve in search of wildlife, including the Big Five. Savour the rich smells of the bush, hear the shrill calls of the magpie shrike, and see the wind blowing through the feather grass dotting the savannah plains. On game drives, safari vehicles are permitted to leave the road and drive off-road to get closer to the wildlife and capture that perfect image. Arrive back at the lodge in time to freshen up before enjoying a sumptuous dinner.

Day 2
Kruger National Park
An early morning wake-up call starts the day, followed by a freshly brewed cup of tea or coffee and rusks before setting off on a morning game drive. The cooler morning temperatures mean that the game in the reserve is often more active, and the softer light makes for incredible photographs. Guests will enjoy some of Kruger’s most spectacular landscapes and an extraordinary variety of wildlife, birdlife, and plant life within the Mluwati Concession, ensuring that each safari experience is unique. Return to the lodge for breakfast, after which you will have time to relax by the pool and read a good book or enjoy views of the Nwaswitsontso River from your private deck. Later in the afternoon, you will head out on your afternoon game drive, which may continue beyond dusk, and return to the lodge to enjoy dinner and reminisce about the day’s sightings.

5.0/5Safari and Victoria Falls trip
Shann organized our six night trip end to end. All we had to do is be where we were supposed to be. The Shalati Bridge Train Hotel is a must stay if you are doing a safari in Kruger National Park. We stayed at the Waterfalls Lodge in Victoria Falls, the accomodations were just fine, but nothing special. The staff was outstanding. We highly recommend Shann and Safari.com for your vacation planning. They are outstanding!

Anja at Safari.com took a lot of time to find a perfect itinerary for our group that fit everyone's budget. She paid attention to detail and went the extra mile to accommodate our requests. The entire trip was as smooth and seamless as can be. We loved everything about it and will absolutely recommend it to anyone wanting to take a safari

A Dream Safari Made Perfect by Mel & Safari.com
Celebrating my 45th birthday on an African safari was a lifelong dream, and Safari.com made it absolutely unforgettable. Mel was incredible from start to finish helping me choose the perfect itinerary, accommodations, and safari experience while always being available to answer questions and offer guidance. Planning a trip like this can feel intimidating, but Mel’s professionalism and communication made the entire process seamless and stress-free. From arrival to departure, every detail was perfect. The safaris were spectacular, and the accommodations were truly five-star amazing. A trip and birthday celebration I’ll never forget!

Excellent hospitality
Hoyo Hoyo safari lodge has exceptional hospitality and the staff are extremely friendly, knowledgeable and aim to please! The experience was amazing and trip of a lifetime. The rooms are as seen on website! So cool! The only negative I have to say is the smell in the rooms (musty smell) needs to be addressed! I’m not sure if it’s due to all the rain recently or if that is the way they are due to the bamboo walls!
