5 - Day Bushveld Safari - Johannesburg to Johannesburg |
 |
Included Highlights: |
Day 1: Johannesburg - Bush Camp  |
 |
Dinner |
We depart in the morning to travel the scenic road to Mpumalanga. Along the way we visit Dullstroom, Long Tom Pass, Sabie, the quaint historic town of Pilgrim's Rest, Bourke's Luck Potholes and the Blydepoort Nature Reserve. Thereafter we travel down the escarpment to the Lowveld bushveld where we overnight in our luxury DRIFTERS BUSH CAMP within the Balule Nature Reserve part of the greater Kruger National Park. The tented Camp is tastefully designed, totally blending in with the surrounding bush and offers comfortable beds, en-suite bathrooms and a refreshing swimming pool.
| Day 2: Bushveld Camp |
|
Brunch, Dinner |
We start the day with a cup of coffee and rusks, before setting off on a game walk. We walk for approximately 3 hours in search of game, stopping regularly to learn more about the ways of the bush. Return to camp for a late morning brunch. A Drifters guide and tracker lead all walks. After the walk, it's time to relax around the pool and to enjoy the camp. Thereafter we conduct an open vehicle game drive, which develops into an extensive night drive. This provides us with the opportunity of viewing nocturnal animals, otherwise not normally seen. This evening we enjoy a hearty bush braai and an evening's relaxation. Fall asleep to the sounds of the wild. |
Day 3: Hazyview  |
|
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner |
A leisurely start, we travel through the rural Bushbuck Ridge area to the sleepy settlement of Hazyview, and then on to the DRIFTERS HAZYVIEW INN, a spectacularly situated log cabin on stilts in indigenous subtropical forest on the banks of the Sabie River. This afternoon we will have time to relax at the bird hide, or enjoy swimming and forest walks.
| Day 4: Kruger National Park |
|
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner |
Leaving Hazyview early, we travel the short distance to the world-renowned Kruger National Park, here we spend the entire day viewing animals in their natural environment from the high vantage point of our well-equipped truck. We enjoy a picnic lunch and then a night in one of the park's rest camps.
| Day 5: Johannesburg |
|
Breakfast |
After a relaxed morning of game viewing, we depart to arrive in Johannesburg in the late afternoon.
|
This tour departs from Johannesburg every Sunday.

Malaria precautions may be seasonally advisable and are locally obtainable. Game viewing on foot is difficult, so we also place importance on some of the smaller aspects of the bush. It can get very hot so suitable precautions against sunburn should be taken. Our price includes all transport, food, coffee, tea, fruit juice at breakfast, accommodation, walks, game drives, entry fees and permits, group equipment and a professional guide. The price does not include alcohol and soft drinks, curios, tips and meals whilst in transit to and from Johannesburg |
