Itinerary
Day 1: Johannesburg
Our accommodation is in the Rosebank area, just north of central Johannesburg. The hotel is conveniently located, should you have additional time. Taxi's can be easily arranged to get you around.
Day 2: Johannesburg/Greater Kruger Area
Day 3: Kruger National Park
At over 19,000 sq km (7,500 sq mi), South Africa's Kruger National Park is one of the largest and most impressive animal reserves in the world. With 147 species, Kruger has more species of large mammals than any other park on the continent.
Day 4: Greater Kruger Area/Karongwe Private Game Reserve
For the next two days, enjoy ranger-led morning and evening wildlife safari drives in an open safari vehicle in Karongwe Nature Reserve, searching for Africa's famed Big Five. With over 9,000 hectares (22,240 acres) of supreme African bushveld, Karongwe Private Game Reserve is home to many creatures, and our safari drives provide several opportunities for wildlife viewing.
We use various accommodations within the reserve (the location is based on availability). During your time here, you will either stay in lodge rooms or very comfortable permanent tents (both of equal quality and with similar amenities).
Day 5: Karongwe Private Game Reserve
Wake up before the sun (around 5am) and sip your morning coffee before heading out on a morning wildlife safari drive. Return to the lodge for brunch and some leisure time. Converse on the deck, walk the grounds and gardens, and enjoy high tea. Following tea, it's time for a late afternoon safari drive. After spotting tons of wildlife, it's time to return to camp and freshen up before dinner, a traditional braai.
Day 6: Karongwe Private Game Reserve/Johannesburg
Day 7: Johannesburg/Victoria Falls
The mist off Victoria Falls can rise to a height of more than 400m (1312 ft). Local tribes used to call the falls Mosi-o-Tunya or “the smoke that thunders.” Explorer and missionary David Livingstone renamed the falls after Queen Victoria when he first saw them in 1855.

Such an incredible journey to South Africa! Our tour guide, Arthur, was absolutely amazing. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about the country, but he was also super friendly and had a great sense of humor. We had such a fantastic time with him!

Our guide was fantastic. Everything ran on schedule. Meals and accommodations exceeded expectations. Only issue was tour radar inflexibility in meeting us for the start of the tour. Resulted in much stress for our host and difficulty in accessing her property

The trip was great! It was everything we expected and more. From the time we touched down, we were well taken care of. Suki was very hospitable at the Malikana Guesthouse. Piet was also a great guide, taking the time to brief us and explain things to us when we were going from one place to another. Jerold was also a great driver and we always felt safe on the road with him. The Muluwa Lodge near Kruger and the Chisombo Lodge at Karongwe Private Reserve were both very comfortable accommodations. Over in Victoria Falls, Patience was a great guide, and Flater was very hospitable in welcoming us into her home for a homecooked Zimbabwean meal. Victoria Falls was spectacular of course. All in all a great trip, and we would recommend this to any one!
