Day 2:Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve

In the morning, there is an early wake-up call, warm coffee and then the first game drive of the day starts. Alternatively, a guided walking safari, a photographic safari or a bird watching expedition can be enjoyed instead of a game drive. Whichever way, you are sure to have a magnificent encounter with the bush. Watch in wonder as the wildlife come out of the bush, smell the early morning air and admire the beautiful vistas! Possible sightings of the Big Five (lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard and rhino) can be encountered. Rhino sightings will be a special treat for animal lovers as the Kruger National Park is home to the largest population of wild rhino.

After the morning game drive, you return to camp for a delicious brunch. Until lunch, you have the day at your own leisure, at the swimming pool or in the spa indulging in optional pamper sessions. Cultural tours to the local Shangaan community will allow interaction with the unique lifestyle of these native people. After lunch and the late afternoon high tea, your ranger will once again sweep you off your feet onto the game drive vehicle and display the wonders of the bush to you.

After the evening game drive, you will have time to relax in the lounge area that has a fully-stocked wine cellar offering a fine selection of South African wines. Dinner is a social event that takes place either alfresco around a campfire or at a dining table in the open-plan summerhouse. After dinner, drinks can be enjoyed around a blazing fire while listening to the sounds of the nocturnal wildlife. Share your experiences of the day as you enjoy the company of fellow travellers and the friendly staff members.
