Details Itinerary

Your African safari tour begins with a scheduled mid-day flight from Johannesburg to Hoedspruit, offering scenic views of South Africa’s Highveld, escarpment, and Lowveld landscapes.

Upon arrival at Hoedspruit Airport, you’ll be met by your safari guide and transferred (approximately 20 minutes) to Kapama River Lodge.

After check-in, enjoy a light lunch and time to relax before heading out on your first guided afternoon game drive in an open safari vehicle (maximum 6 guests per vehicle). This is your first opportunity to encounter Africa’s iconic wildlife, including elephants, lions, and more.

Return to the lodge for dinner, served either in the restaurant or outdoors on the wooden deck.

Accommodation: Kapama River Lodge

These two days immerse you fully in the rhythm of a luxury African safari tour.

Your mornings begin early (around 05:30–06:00) with hot beverages before setting off on a sunrise game drive. This is one of the best times to observe predators and active wildlife in their natural habitat.

After a rewarding drive, return to the lodge for a late breakfast. The remainder of the day is yours to relax—unwind by the pool, enjoy the tranquil bush surroundings, or indulge in the lodge’s wellness facilities.

In the afternoon, after high tea, depart for a sunset game drive, complete with a scenic sundowner stop in the bush before continuing into the evening in search of nocturnal animals.

As part of your stay, enjoy a 30-minute back, neck, and shoulder massage at the award-winning Kapama Wellness Centre (subject to availability), adding a relaxing touch to your safari.

Each evening concludes with a delicious dinner under the African sky.

Accommodation: Kapama River Lodge

On your final day, head out at sunrise for one last game drive—your final فرصة to spot wildlife and soak in the beauty of the African bush.

Return to the lodge for breakfast before transferring back to Hoedspruit Airport for your return flight to Johannesburg.

This marks the end of your unforgettable African safari tour.
