Itinerary

Day 1 - 4: Sabi Sabi Private Game Reserve

This morning you arrive at Johannesburg's OR Tambo Airport and connect with your scheduled flight to Sabi Sabi Game Reserve. On arrival, you will be met and transferred to Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge. You will have some time to enjoy your luxurious suite and the lodge facilities before venturing out on your first-afternoon game drive in the African bush, seeking out the 'Big 5'.

The advantage of a private reserve is the ability to drive off-road, enhancing each guests safari experience. You will witness your first African sunset and return to the lodge to enjoy a scrumptious dinner served under a canopy of stars.

Over the next three days, your mornings begin very early as you head out on game drive. Animals are more active in the mornings, gathering around waterholes for a drink, making them more visible to the human eye. After approximately three hours, you will return back to the lodge for a buffet breakfast before spending the rest of the morning relaxing in your suite or venturing out on a bush walk or school visit.

In the late afternoon, after some snacks and drinks, you head out on an afternoon game drive that leads into early hours of the evening. Predators are nocturnal, hunting mostly at night, so be sure to look out for some exciting action.
