Detailed Honeymoon Itinerary: 10 Day African Romance

Day 1

Arrival / Private Kruger Park Concession

Overnight: Imbali Safari Lodge
Meals: Full Board

Highlights

  • Arrival in the Kruger National Park
  • Perfect Bushveld Setting
  • Sunset Drinks in the Wilderness

Arrival / Private Kruger Park Concession

Flights
  • Johannesburg - Skukuza (1 hr)
Transfers
  • Skukuza Airport to Imbali Safari Lodge (1 hr 50 min)

Honeymooners are met upon arrival at O.R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg and assisted in transferring to a regional flight bound for Skukuza in the Kruger National Park. They are then met upon arrival and transferred to Imbali Safari Lodge, located on a private concession in a prime game-viewing country. The drive of just under two hours is conducted inside the park, and you will view the game even before arrival at the lodge.

The Mluwati Concession is about 12,000 hectares (29,650 acres) in extent. It consists of open savanna plains, Acacia woodland, and thornveld. Seasonal rivers, including the Mluwati, crisscross the landscape, which features several waterholes. It is a place of natural beauty and rich biodiversity. Guests are welcomed upon arrival and assisted with check-in. After lunch is served, there will be time for relaxation before embarking on a first-afternoon safari accompanied by a resident ranger, who is supported by a tracker.

Note

Guests spend three nights at Imbali Safari Lodge, with all meals included. Two game drives and a bush walk are included daily.

Day 2-3

Private Kruger Park Concession

Overnight: Imbali Safari Lodge
Meals: Full Board

Highlights

  • Two Daily Open 4x4 Game Drives
  • Sightings of Africa's Legendary Big 5
  • Romantic Seclusion

Private Kruger Park Concession

These days, you will be awakened just before dawn for coffee and snacks before embarking on the morning safari shortly after that. The bush comes alive at this time of day when the animals ready themselves for a day of grazing or browsing after the nervousness of night when they are at their most vulnerable to the many predators in the area. A highlight on any excursion into the bush would be a close sighting of one of Africa's legendary Big 5. The lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo occur in the area and frequently provide some of the day's best sightings.

Upon returning to camp, breakfast is served, after which you are welcome to partake in a bush walk led by an armed ranger. Venturing into the wilderness on foot provides a different interaction with the natural world and can be an enriching experience. You have time to relax and spend some quiet time together before the afternoon safari drive. Rooms are wonderfully secluded, each with a verandah and a small private pool overlooking the surrounding bush.

Day 4

Private Kruger Park Concession / Cape Town

Overnight: The Winchester Hotel
Meals: Breakfast
