Hoedspruit to Kruger National Park

Day 1

Hoedspruit to Kruger National Park

Fly into Hoedspruit Eastgate Airport from Johannesburg's O.R. Tambo International Airport. We will meet you at Eastgate to take you to Kapama Game Reserve. After a light meal and some time to clean up, you will go on a game drive deep within the reserve with your guide and spotter. Along the route, you will stop for a drink and some fresh air as the sun sets behind the Drakensberg Mountains. The nocturnal animals of the jungle emerge as dusk approaches. A variety of unique species may be noticed on the way back to the resort at night. The skilled tracker will sweep the landscape with a flashlight that illuminates animal eyes. Arrival at the lodge is usually around 19h00, in time for a delicious dinner. Included: Lunch and dinner.

Morning & Sunset Safari

Day 2

Morning & Sunset Safari

Today, you will rise between 05h00 and 05h30 for tea or coffee and rusks before setting off on a morning game drive. The reserve's wildlife is typically more active in the morning due to the reserve's colder temperatures, and the softer light makes for excellent photographs. After a substantial breakfast at the lodge, you will have time to relax by the pool, read a nice book, and enjoy the rest of the lodge's amenities. After a sumptuous high tea, you will go on an afternoon wildlife drive that may last past twilight. The day will invariably conclude with a delicious dinner and a discussion of the day's sightings. Included: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Luxury lodge located inside Kapama GR (Greater Kruger) All meals included All drinks (Premium wines & liquors might be excluded)

Awesome!

Our first Big 5 Safari Tour was nothing short of incredible! From the very start, the excitement was unreal and it only got better with every moment out in the wild. Seeing lions, elephants, rhinos, buffalo in their natural habitat was absolutely breathtaking. Our guide Martin was knowledgeable, passionate and made the whole experience even more special. It’s something we’ll never forget, truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure! But we will repeat it as we still have to „hunt“ leopard 🐆 hehe

Martin took us through the reserve to locate the animals. He answered our questions and taught us so many things about the big 5

Always a quick response, if there were any questions.

We had a very good time at the Dumela Tented Camp. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The guides on the game drives were really good. We had luck and could see many different animals.
