Daily program: Eswatini & Kruger National Park - Camping or Lodge Safari

Day 1: Kruger National Park & Surroundings Experience Trip

We leave the city of Johannesburg behind and make our way east through the coal fields of Mpumalanga. Today's journey follows the trails of ancient trade routes into the Lowveld and to the national park. This afternoon you have the opportunity to join an optional sundowner drive. A reservation is essential and your guide can assist you with this departure this morning. Meals: Lunch, Dinner Optional Activity: Sundowner Drive

Day 2: Kruger National Park

This morning we rise early and drive into the national park for a full day of wildlife viewing. The abundance of wildlife gives us the chance for excellent sightings, and the park is home to the famous members of Africa's Big-5 (lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards, and buffalo). The Kruger is truly the flagship of South African national parks and hosts an impressive number of species: 336 trees, 49 fish, 34 amphibians, 114 reptiles, 507 birds, and 147 mammals. Our game drive through the park takes place in an open 4x4 vehicle. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner Included Highlight: Safari in Kruger National Park

Day 3: Kruger National Park

While those opting for the optional morning walk have an earlier start, we set off a bit later today and drive the short distance to the Panorama Route. Along the escarpment that separates the central plateau from the low-lying bushveld of Kruger, the sights of the Panorama Route offer us a day full of scenic delights and unforgettable impressions – a true adventure of this experience trip through Africa. We will visit the highlights Bourke's Luck Potholes, the Three Rondavels, and God's Window before returning to camp in the late afternoon. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner Included Highlight: Panorama Route - Bourke's Luck Potholes, Blyde River Canyon, God's Window

Day 4: From Kruger to Eswatini

We start the day early with coffee and traditional rusks (a bit like zwieback) before making our way through Kruger towards Eswatini. This leg of our experience trip through southern Africa takes us in an overland truck through stunning landscapes and allows for excellent wildlife viewing. We leave the southern end of the park and travel the short distance to the border of Eswatini. Our route winds this afternoon through the mountains and forests of this landlocked kingdom. Our destination for today is the Ezulwini Valley south of the capital Mbabane. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner Included Highlight: Safari in an overland truck through Kruger National Park

Day 5: Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary

The 4,560-hectare Mlilwane Wildlife Sanctuary can be explored for hours on your own since there are no dangerous animals. This morning, our guide will take us on a nature walk to explore the 'Nature Trail,' which provides information about the area's history and environment. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner Included Highlight: Nature Walk with Your Guide Optional Activities: Safaris, Mountain Biking, Hiking

Day 6: From Eswatini to St. Lucia, South Africa

We say goodbye to Eswatini and return to South Africa. Our experience trip continues south into Zululand, which was once the realm of the powerful King Shaka, who united the Zulu clans. This region of Africa offers not only cultural depth but also scenic diversity – perfect for our adventure in southern Africa. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 7: Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Game Reserve and iSimangaliso Wetland Park

This morning, we set off early for a game drive in the nearby Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Game Reserve, one of the last strongholds of the endangered rhino. While the rhinos are the most famous residents of the park, the park is also home to many other species, including the Big-5, which we all hope to see. After a siesta at our accommodation, we will freshen up for an afternoon boat trip on the St. Lucia estuary. Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner Included Highlight: Safari in Hluhluwe Imfolozi National Park, St. Lucia Boat Trip
