DAY 1
We depart Johannesburg early and leave the bustle of the City behind us as we head towards Mpumalanga - The place where the sun rises. With fresh air and open fields around us, we sit back and relax as we head down the Escarpment to the "Lowveld". Right in the heart of Mpumalanga, lies the Kruger National Park. The park was established in 1889, is more than 2 million hectares and bigger than the countries Whales or Israel. More than 146 mammal species, 507 bird species and 400 different tree types call this spectacular "Bushveld", home. Upon arrival at the Park we check in to the 5 star Phumulani Lodge. This upmarket Lodge, with its luxury en-suite air-conditioned bungalows, will be our home for the next few days. We have time to explore the Lodge and enjoy lunch (own expense) before we embark on our first afternoon Game Drive. Our open 4X4 Game Drive vehicles are the perfect vantage point and will prove to make this an unforgettable experience. We will arrive back in the camp before dark. Dinner is served and we have time to enjoy the magical sounds of the African night before retiring to our bungalows.

DAY 2 & 3
We start at dawn and on this day and do a full day Game Drive to try and spot as many animals as possible. We will stop several times during the day to freshen up and have breakfast in one of the rest camps along the way. We also stop at a rest camp where we take time to have lunch (own expense). We will also visit Skukuza, the main Camp in the Park where we will have time to visit the fascinating Stevenson Hamilton Library. We will embark on a afternoon Drive to see if we can spot some more of the magnificent creatures that roam this area. Our Game Drive vehicles are radio linked to other vehicles in the Park and thereforee we have an advantage in tracking down the elusive "Big 5". We will return to our camp in the late afternoon and have some time to relax before we enjoy dinner and talk about everything we experienced on this day.

DAY 4
We again start at dawn and do a thorough morning drive taking in as much as possible on this, our last day in the Park. By this time hopefully we have caught a glimpse of the elusive Leopard. We have a late breakfast and depart thereafter for our scenic drive towards Johannesburg. We explore the Mpumalanga Panorama route, and along the way we visit some breathtaking views and spectacular scenery. Our first stop is God's Window, an overwhelmingly beautiful viewpoint with a 1000m drop into the "Lowveld". At the Bourke's Luck Potholes, the Blyde (Happy) and the Treur (Sad) Rivers meet up and form a magnificent display in the Blyde River Canyon. We stroll back in time, down the historic main street of Pilgrim's Rest. It takes us back to the days when dreamers and desperadoes from around the world converged on this little-known valley in a hectic scramble for the riches that lay beneath its grassy hillsides. After a late lunch (own expense) we return to Johannesburg and arrive in the late afternoon.

Accommodation is at Phumulani Lodge
