Itinerary

This is a fly-in package meaning you will travel BY AIR, departing from OR Tambo in Johannesburg and landing at Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport KMIA. Once you arrive you will have a road transfer to Lukimbi Safari Lodge, in the world famous Kruger National Park, which is roughly a 1.5hr drive. On day 3 you will have a 3.5hr road transfer to Idube Game Lodge which is located in the prestigious Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve.

It is also possible to fly from Cape Town (instead of Johannesburg) at an additional fee.

Days 01–02

Kruger National Park

Your journey begins with a scheduled flight from Johannesburg to Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport. Upon landing, you will be warmly greeted for a private transfer to Lukimbi Safari Lodge in the famous Kruger National Park, approximately a 1 hour and 55 minute drive away. You will spend the following two nights at the lodge. Upon arrival, 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 three 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-site spa has to offer.

Accommodation: Lukimbi Safari Lodge

Kruger National Park

Days 03–04

Sabi Sand Game Reserve

Enjoy an early morning game drive before breakfast. You will then be transferred to the Sabi Sand Game Reserve by road to arrive at Idube Game Reserve by lunchtime. This is the heart of South Africa’s premier wildlife conservation area of the Greater Kruger Park. Game, including the Big Five, is viewed really close by from open Land Rovers or spotted on guided walks. The experienced rangers and trackers are trained to give guests the best possible wildlife experience.

Head out on morning and afternoon game drives; animal sightings are professionally handled and controlled. Drives are normally 3 to 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, a photographer’s dream come true. 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 suite next to your private plunge pool.

"Five Star level treatment. I booked our Safari in Sabi Sans at Arathusa lodge, and our stay in Cape Town South Africa back in August of 2026 and the experience had been amazing. Safari.com agents have every detail thought from travel insurance, eSIM for phones, private transportation, and booked us amazing experiences. We saw the Big 5 in the Safari, went cage Shark diving, did a private guided Cape Peninsula tour. Everything was perfect! This was our first time using Safari.com and we will definitely use them in the future. I would highly recommend this company."
