South Africa's Kruger & Kalahari

Board your flight in Johannesburg and travel directly to the stunning Camp Jabulani in the uncrowded Kapama Private Game Reserve in the Kruger National Park. Camp Jabulani is a superior safari lodge in the private reserve and offers a spectacular bird-watching and game-viewing experience.

With only six suites, a stay at Camp Jabulani is an intimate and exclusive affair, and each has been designed with comfort and elegance in mind. Between morning and afternoon game drives, relax on the main deck overlooking the dry river bed where the wildlife roams nearby. Spend your days exploring this stunning reserve searching for the Big 5 and other wildlife, and visit the nearby Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre to learn about the region's successful conservation efforts for cheetah and rhino.

Arrive in Johannesburg today after a short flight from Camp Jabulani and transfer to the centrally located Fairlawns Boutique Hotel for your overnight stay in Johannesburg. Spend the day exploring the upscale neighbourhood of Sandton or venture into Soweto to see some of South Africa's most moving historical sites. Return to the hotel in the evening for a delicious meal in the classic but relaxed restaurant before turning in for the night.

Transfer from Fairlawns to the airport for your connecting flight to Tswalu Private Game Reserve on the edge of the Kalahari desert, where you spend four nights at the luxurious Motse Lodge.

A stay at Motse Lodge provides the chance to explore the beautiful and surprisingly diverse landscapes of the Kalahari. Malaria-free Tswalu is the largest private game reserve in South Africa and is home to lion, king cheetah, giraffe, Cape buffalo and both the white rhino and the highly endangered black rhino. Smaller animals include the bat-eared fox and aardvark while the bird life is incredibly rich and varied. Enjoy game drives, guided dune walks and excursions to view San rock art, or treat yourself to a spa treatment or a spectacular hot-air balloon ride. Order a iced cocktail and relax by the swimming pool in the heat of the day while after nightfall prepare to be amazed by the galaxy of stars above you as you settle down for an exciting sleep-out under the clear night sky.

Fly back to Johannesburg for your connecting flight home out of OR Tambo International Airport.
