Kruger National Park

Day 1

Kruger National Park

Your journey begins with a scheduled flight from Johannesburg to Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport. On landing, you will be warmly greeted for a private transfer to Lukimbi Safari Lodge in the famous Kruger National Park—roughly 1h 55 min drive away, where you will spend the following two nights. You will arrive at the lodge, and take some time to settle in before an afternoon game drive. Lukimbi is situated in the game-rich, southern section of the world-renowned Kruger National Park. Bounded by 3 major river systems, the extensive 15 000 hectare area offers a diverse array of habitats. The vast grasslands dominate the northern portion, whereas the southern and central areas are more heavily wooded and interspersed with lush riverine thickets. Relaxation can be spent lazing around the pool or indulging in one of the many spa treatments the on-sight spa has to offer.

Game, including the Big Five, is viewed really close by from open Landrovers, or spotted on guided walks. The experienced rangers and trackers are trained to give guests the best possible wildlife experience. You will head out on morning and afternoon game drives, animal sightings are professionally handled and controlled. Drives are normally 3-4 hours long, with a stop along the way for tea, coffee or sundowners. Idube is particularly well known for the frequent and excellent sightings of leopards. An optional morning guided walk is offered or you may choose to relax around the pool or indulge in a spa treatment in the privacy of your own room.

Safari 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!

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!
