Fly from O.R. Tambo International, Johannesburg, South Africa to the Kruger National Park, where you will be met and transferred by bush road to Simbavati Camp George.

Offering a front-row seat, you can immerse yourself in nature with twice daily professionally guided game drives, guided bush walks and night drives in Klaserie Private Game Reserve to include the Big 5 (leopard, elephant, rhino, lion, buffalo), hippo, wild dog, zebra etc. to name a few. Each day begins at sunrise with the tracking of big game on your first game drive, return to camp for breakfast before relaxing on the verandah or by the pool. After a delicious lunch, set off for the late afternoon safari (2 to 3 hours) with your professional ranger before a sundowner in the bush, and a fabulous 3-course dinner back at camp. Camp George is sumptuous. Luxury lodge located inside Klaserie NR (Greater Kruger) All meals included All drinks (Premium wines & liquors might be excluded)
Day 4
Following your morning game drive at Camp George and a hearty breakfast, transfer by road to Simbavati Hilltop Tented Camp. Hilltop has one of the finest settings in the Timbavati Private Game Reserve, an unfenced but private part of the Kruger Park. Perched on a hill, it has wide-angle views over the bush and distant mountains of the Drakensberg escarpment. Below lies the expansive Mbali Dam and the Nhlaralumi River, where you may see elephants and other wildlife coming to quench their thirst. This luxurious tented lodge has a romantic, bright and airy ambience with 8 spacious tented suites connected by wooden walkways to the main lodge. Enjoy their warm team of welcoming staff and professional rangers who will take you on both daily culinary and safari expeditions of note. Timbavati forms part of the Greater Kruger Park and offers exceptional game viewing, including the Big Five. Twice-daily game drives also provide close encounters with birds and animals, large and small.

5.0/5We had always wanted to experience South Africa and do "The Big 5" game park stay. We looked at booking locally from Australian companies but they all seemed so expencive and didntgive us the experience we wanted in a small personal tour without breaking the bank. During my searches of the internet i discovered Greatest Africa, a local SA company specialising in tailor made trips. Vanessa was amazing from start to finish, some 3 years ago i had my 3rd throat cancer surgery leaving me unable to eat any food via my mouth and all meals need to be pureed to a fine liquid somi can tube feed via a PEG. Vanessa was able to understand my needs and after knowing what type of high powered blender was needed she was able to book us into an amazin hotel in Capetown and 2 x 5 star game lodges with the correct blender to make all my meals. My wife said it was her best holiday ever, the game lodges were perfect, the food amazing and the total experience and game drives ons to remember forever. Thankyouever so much for our mazing holiday and for your personal and profestional service. Highly recomended to all, not just us "Tubies"

We have used Greatest Africa several times during our visits to South Africa. It's easy to communicate with them and always good suggestions and quick answers to our requests and questions. They have a very good software generating your itinerary with good tourist information. Each time we take a vine tour with Rickard. Then we have come to very nice wine tastings at the best vineyards. We have also visited some very interesting cultural places of interest. The hotels we have been booked at have been of the highest class and very varied. Central in Hermanus, where you could see the whales from the balcony. Nice vineyards, where you had very good wine and food. Far out in the wilderness, where the antelopes passed a few meters from the tables when we finished the dessert. Central in Cape Town, where it's very close to Waterfront. I can really recommend Greatest Africa for a nice vacation in South Africa.

Having spent my youth in South Africa, I returned with a group of friends for my 70th birthday. The 2-week stay in the Cape was terrific. Greatest Africa contributed significantly for a pleasant stay in the Stellenbosch Winelands, a 3-day game safari a 3 hours drive from Cape Town, all culminating with several days in CT itself : a unique city & setting with incredible diversity. Greatest Africa provided a very attentive & responsive service that resulted in a highly successful trip. They understood our needs & found solutions in all situations.
