Your Itinerary
Our Driver/Guide will pick you up from your hotel in Johannesburg an air-conditioned vehicle and transfer you via the scenic Panorama Route. En-route we will visit Dullstream, Belfast, Burke’s Luck Potholes, Lisbon Waterfalls, Gods Window, Graskop as well as Graskop Gorge.
In the afternoon, we will check into the Royal Hotel Pilgrim’s Rest. Fifty en-suite bedrooms are spread over a number of annexes to the main hotel and all of them radiate extreme character. Furnished with genuine antique brass beds, wash stands, wardrobes and other furniture, visitors cannot but be transported back into history. Rounding off this atmosphere are authentic Victorian baths, sanitary ware, and fixtures. In these surroundings, electric shavers, dryers, and other equipment will seem out of place.
After a leisurely breakfast, we will continue on the scenic panorama drive and stop at some curio shops and or other tourist attractions along the road on your way to Hippo Hollow Lodge. We should arrive at the lodge around lunch time where we will check in and refresh.
At 16h30 you will depart on a night game drive (where you will get your first experience on an open 4X4 Safari vehicle.) The Night Drive is a fun experience and allows you to enjoy the African night life and spot night animals which you would not have seen under normal circumstances.
Your night drive will commence into the Kruger Park. Our driver will be waiting for you and transfer you back to your lodge.
* Take note that the Night Game drive might not take place on this evening (due to weather, availability, etc.). If you do not do the night game drive on this day, you will do the drive on the following day.
Your Professional Field guide will advise you of your pick-up time for this morning. (Approx. 06H00) You will be picked up from your lodge early in the morning on your full day game drive in an Open 4X4 Safari Vehicle.
We will enter Kruger Park at one of the mentioned Gates and enjoy a full day game drive on this day. We will stop several times during the day for you to freshen up and to stretch your legs. Your Professional Field Guide will ensure that you see the wildlife Kruger Park is renowned for and give you interesting facts and information on all aspects of the African Bush and Wildlife. (With a bit of luck, you will be able to add the Big Five to your “spotting-list”) We will enjoy breakfast at one of the Kruger Park Camps.
We will return to your lodge in the late afternoon and the rest of the evening will be spent at leisure. Dinner can be enjoyed at the Lodge.
We will once again collect you for an early morning game drive to try and find the illusive animals that you might have missed on your previous drives.
After your Early Morning Drive, we will return to the lodge for breakfast. Once you have had breakfast, you’re Driver/Guide will be waiting to transfer you back to Johannesburg in a luxury air-conditioned vehicle.
