Day 1

Flight from Cape Town to the Kruger National Park

Make your own way to Cape Town Airport for your mid-morning flight to Hoedspruit. Upon arrival, we transfer you by road to Greenfire Game Lodge in Balule Nature Reserve, a 540km² private reserve that shares unfenced borders with Greater Kruger. The magical Olifants River runs through this reserve, creating lush scenery that attracts large numbers of elephant, giraffe, buffalo, and other thirsty wildlife.

After settling in, enjoy a light lunch before our first game drive in an open 4x4 vehicle. Balule dropped its fences with Greater Kruger in 2005, which means we might encounter all of the Big Five during our time here, including lion, leopard, and rhino. The river makes this a scenic private reserve in the Greater Kruger area, drawing wildlife from across the ecosystem.

We return to the lodge as the sun sets. Dinner is served around the firepit on warm evenings, a perfect end to our first day on safari.
