Day 1: Kruger National Park

We start our travel from Johannesburg to the world-renowned Kruger National Park. This is truly the flagship of the South African National Parks. Kruger is home to an impressive number of different wildlife species. Lower Sabie graces the banks of the Sabie River, one of the few perennial rivers to flow through the Kruger National Park. Visitors are soothed to tranquillity by the river views against the backdrop of the Lebombo Mountains. With the mystical sound of the fish eagle hanging in the air, we join the game rangers on a sunset game drive in an open safari vehicle.

Day 2: Hike inside the Kruger National Park

Today we start with a 3-hour hike in the bush with rangers of the park to explore and be on the lookout for the activities of the predators that is very active in the early mornings. Whilst experiencing the peaceful morning on foot in the wild, ones senses are aware of every little insect rushing over wet elephant dung, the lively chirping of the birds and the breaking of branches as the elephants enjoy their breakfast. In this rest camp, the bounty and plenitude of nature are very evident. Eloquently symbolized by the most conspicuous of its numerous trees, the mighty sycamore fig provides generously for the livelihood of many birds and insects. Not only do these giants produce fruit at least twice a year, but different trees produce fruit at different times, extending the gifts of life over many months. Watching the endless procession of animals coming to drink at the Sabie River, establishes a sense of one's own unique place in the eternal cycle of life.
