5 Day - Kruger National Park, Panorama Route and More

 We will meet you at the OR Tambo International Airport or your nearby lodge at 05:00. We travel through the Gauteng province to Mpumalanga, “the place where the sun rises” – a beautiful province with spectacular nature and an abundance of wildlife. We will have an en-route stop for breakfast (own expense) and continue toward Lydenburg (Mashishing) and then to The Shoe, an artists haven, where we have lunch. Next we will continue on our journey and enter the Limpopo Province via the Strydom Tunnel to our destination, Swadine Resort, in the Blyde River Canyon. This canyon is the only green canyon and the third largest canyon in the world.

Wake up at 05:00 to leave camp as soon as the gates open. We will spend the day in some of Kruger’s best game viewing spots. Maybe we will be fortunate enough to see all of the big five, or some early active predators. We will work our way (approximately 20 km) to Olifants camp where we will enjoy breakfast before leaving on a 42 km drive straight for Satara camp, often referred to as the “cat camp”. Large cats are frequently spotted in the Muzadzeni area where a large and successful lion pride operates. From Satara we will proceed further south to Tshokwane for lunch. Our last stop will be at Skukuza where we will overnight. - All Meals Included
