Kruger Private Reserves, Kruger National Park, South Africa

Days 2-4: Get close to the big 5

Up arrow

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.

Johannesburg, South Africa

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.

Up arrow

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.
