About this itinerary.

Experience magnificent wildlife sightings on exciting game-drives in the heart of the Kruger National Park – Africa’s most iconic game reserve.

Where you'll travel: Kruger National Park

Overview

Enjoy an all-inclusive Fly-In Safari in the world-renowned Kruger National Park with the convenience of flying. The time savings compared to a return road transfer to Johannesburg are in the region of 11 hours in total! All 3 nights are spent at Imbali Luxury Safari Lodge, which showcases suites, each with its own private plunge pool and en-suite bathroom with magnificent views of the wilderness beyond.

Further Savings: Combo SPECIAL Spend three nights at Imbali Safari Lodge and enjoy THREE FREE nights at The Cape Milner Boutique Hotel in Cape Town - Valid 1 April to 31 August 2025.

The sparkling swimming pool at the main lodge area promises a refreshing dip while providing the opportunity to enjoy the rich and varied wildlife that comes to the Imbali water hole for a cooling drink.

Meals are served in the comfortable dining room where an impressive Jackalberry tree rises through the deck and Tsonga-styled thatched roof. Dinner may be served under the stars while you listen to the enchanting sounds of the surrounding bush coming alive at night.

Safaris are conducted on the private Mluwati Concession with access to the greater Kruger National Park. A 3-night safari is always highly recommended.

Itinerary

Day 01

Safari Adventure Begins

Today you depart from Johannesburg's OR Tambo Airport to Hoedspruit Airport. On arrival, you will be met and transferred to Imbali Safari Lodge for check-in. (Flights beginning/ending in Cape Town are available at a surcharge.)

Imbali Safari Lodge offers a luxury safari experience within a 100 square kilometre private concession in the iconic Big Five, Kruger National Park. Enjoy spacious suites with private splash pools and massage treatments.

In the late afternoon, you will head out with your guide and tracker for an afternoon game drive through the reserve in search of wildlife, including the Big 5. Savour the rich smells of the bush, hear the shrill calls of the Magpie Shrike, and see the wind blowing through the feather grass dotting the savannah plains. On game drives, safari vehicles are permitted to leave the road and drive off-road to get closer to the wildlife and capture that perfect image.

Arrive back at the lodge in time to freshen up before enjoying a sumptuous dinner.

Safari Adventure Begins

Days 02–03

Kruger National Park

An early morning wake-up call starts the day, followed by a freshly brewed cup of tea or coffee and rusks before setting off on a morning game drive.

The cooler morning temperatures mean that the game in the reserve is often more active, and the softer light makes for incredible photographs. Guests will enjoy some of Kruger’s most spectacular landscapes and an extraordinary variety of wildlife, birdlife, and plant life within the Mluwati Concession, ensuring that each safari experience is unique.

Return to the lodge for breakfast, after which you will have time to relax by the pool and read a good book, or enjoy views of the Nwaswitsontso River from your own private deck.

Later in the afternoon, you will head out on your afternoon game drive, which may continue beyond dusk, and return back to the lodge to enjoy dinner and some reminiscing about the day’s sightings.

"Sara was absolutely amazing to work with. She created five different itinerary options for us to choose from based on the criteria and budget I provided for our family trip to Kruger National Park. What I appreciated most was how willing she was to connect over WhatsApp to really understand what we were looking for. After our call, she worked incredibly fast and sent all the options the very next day. Every itinerary included exactly what we asked for and stayed within our budget. Her service, attention to detail, and genuine care made the entire process stress-free. I honestly didn’t even know where to start planning this trip, so her help was enormous. Thanks to Sara, not only did we find the perfect safari package, but we also booked our flights as well. Thank you, Sara, for the excellent service and support — we truly appreciate everything you did for us!"
