Day 1 - 4: Ulusaba Rock Lodge, Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve

From Johannesburg International Airport, board a short flight to Hoedspruit Airport, where a South Africa 365 representative will be waiting to transfer you to Ulusaba Rock Lodge.

Poised high above the Sabi Sands on its own hill, the grandiose  Ulusaba Rock Lodge has views of the immense of the Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve. As to be expected from the private lodge of Sir Richard Brandson, all amenities and offerings are sublime. Safari guides are of the highest caliber, wildlife viewing is in a league if its own, the service is exemplarity and the décor unrivaled.

Early mornings and late afternoons are spent tracking fascinating wildlife, days are whiled away next to the swimming pool or lazing in the sun, and evenings are spent around the fire for a boma feast.

Following a magnificent 4 day (3 nights) accommodation on a full board basis (including all meals, drinks and 2 game drives daily), you will be transferred onwards to experience the best of Royal Malewane in the nearby Thornybush Game Reserve.

Day 4 - 7: Royal Malewane,Thornybush Game Reserve

Royal Malewane is regal and refined in its approach to safari experiences. The décor is colonial, and the six suites are all luxuriously appointed, each with its own wooden decks, rim-flow pool and thatched gazebos. 

The thrill of viewing animals in the wild is unparalleled. Home to lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and black & white rhino, the 13 000 hectare reserve provides exceptional opportunities for game viewing.

The order of the day usually unfolds with early morning game drives followed by a leisurely breakfast. Thereafter, guests can enjoy the luxury of the camp until lunch. Afternoon game drives include sundowners and culminate in a night drive. Dinner is served under the African sky or with silver & crystal in the dining areas.

Rumored to be the only lodge that Sir Elton John is prepared to stay at, you can be guaranteed of a remarkable experience.

Following 7 days of safari bliss, you will be transferred for your onwards connection to Johannesburg Airport.

Please note: Kruger safaris are a firm favorite amongst our clients, and by default the most popular length of stay is 3 nights. This can be shortened or lengthened depending on your requirements (although less than 2 nights is not worthwhile) This itinerary is often combined with destinations such as Cape Town, Bazaruto and Victoria Falls.
