8-Days Luxury Big Five Safari

>> Your tour representative will meet you upon your arrival at Johannesburg OR Tambo International Airport and take you 3 hours away to the malaria-free, Big 5, Kaingo Game Reserve. It is situated in the Waterberg Region, which is one of the few UNESCO-recognised biosphere reserves on the planet and is the only savanna biosphere reserve in the world. On arrival, a light lunch awaits at this traditional safari lodge, built from natural stone with thatch roofs, and with an old-world African atmosphere. After settling in, you'll enjoy a sunset game drive to experience first-hand the twilight beauty of the African bush and its wild creatures. Then it’s back to the lodge for dinner accompanied by the unparalleled orchestra and chorus of the wild African night, making your first night in the bush unforgettable.

• Time: 8-10Hrs

>> Rising before dawn is a necessity if you want to see wildlife, as they are most active in the cool early mornings or late afternoons. Strong coffee and one of South Africa’s iconic snacks, homemade rusks, will be served to see you through your game drive to brunch. After brunch each day, you are free to laze around, go swimming, or take a nap. Or reserve one of the recommended activities. High Tea is followed by the sunset game drive; once you’re back at the lodge, you will be treated to a delicious dinner.

>> The iconic and most dangerous wild animals of Africa —lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard —are at home in malaria-free Kaingo Game Reserve, but so too are over 50 other mammal species and over 350 different types of birds. Also, Royal Morubisi is just 55km from the centre of the Waterberg Region and has the mighty Mokolo River weaving through its breathtaking landscapes. Your daily sunrise and sunset game drives are the best way to experience the reserve's spectacular scenery and extraordinary wildlife. Each game drive is unique and unpredictable. Sunset game drives include stopping for "Sundowners" as the sun sets, and serve as an aperitif before dinner. Under the Southern night sky awash with stars and glimmering constellations not seen in the Northern Hemisphere, dinner (maybe in the boma, maybe in the bush, and maybe with your fish on the grill) will be a truly memorable experience.
