Description
Days 1-2
Johannesburg/Blyde River Canyon
Journey through Paradise Country, the Mpumalanga Province. Stop en route at the stunning Blyde River Canyon for extravagant panoramas of the region.
Days 3-4
Kruger National Park
The wildlife experience begins on passing through the gates of Kruger. An open vehicle night drive is a chance to see the savannah's most secretive animals. Then enjoy a traditional braai (barbeque) around a campfire. An early morning breakfast of rusks and coffee will kickstart a day of game viewing and bird watching.
Day 5
Hlane Royal National Park
Enjoy Swazi song and dance at a cultural village before continuing on to Hlane to track white rhinos on foot. Listen out for the rumbling roar of lions, the symbol of this tiny kingdom.
Days 6-7
Ponta d'Ouro
Cross the border into Mozambique, home to 2,500 km of stunning sandy coastline with jade waters full of tropical fish. There's plenty of time here so dive in to explore the perfectly unspoilt coral reefs - and maybe even spot bottlenose dolphins.
Day 8
Hluhluwe/St Lucia Estuary
Visit South Africa's most celebrated park - the Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Game Reserve, home to the Big Five and a whole lot more. Spend the evening on the banks of Lake St Lucia, home to a remarkable diversity of species, from the world's oldest fish to the world's largest mammal - the coelacanth and the elephant.
The inviting sands of Durban are the golden finale of this exploration.
