Day 1

Day 1 Sabi Sand Game Reserve

You will be collected from the Johannesburg OR Tambo Airport Bus Terminal at 07:00am in a minivan, to travel east via the N4 motorway through the Highveld of Gauteng and Mpumalanga, down the escarpment and into the scenic Lowveld to the reserve inside the Greater Kruger National Park.

The drive will take about six hours, during which you will stop for refreshments. After reaching the lodge around mid-day, you will have the opportunity to freshen up and relax before departing on an open safari vehicle for your first afternoon game drive in the reserve.

Back at the lodge a delicious starlit dinner will await you, weather permitting.
