Kruger National Park
We’ll drive alongside incredible gorges and scenery as we travel to the Kruger Park to our own lodge for the night. Here the Kruger National Park awaits us. Site of the epic YouTube viral video Battle at Kruger, the Park is a sprawling wilderness of bush and terrain that houses the famous Big Five (lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and Cape buffalo) along with hundreds of species of native birds, ancient trees and meandering rivers. It’s ours to explore for the next two days.

DAY 5 - KRUGER NATIONAL PARK
Kruger National Park
We’re up early for our first taste of the fresh morning air that tells us we’re deep in the African bush. We’ll venture through to the Park gate and enter at sunrise, just the right time to see some of Africa’s elusive predators finishing off their nocturnal hunts. We’ll eat our packed breakfast at one of the picnic spots and discover who of us has the ‘Luck of the bush’ and best spotting eyes between us. Lunch will be at one of the main camps in the park and we’ll relax here in the midday heat. In the afternoon we depart for another game drive, as the temperatures start cooling and the wildlife become more active, and we make our way to the park exit for sunset.

We depart the Park in the afternoon and drive halfway to Johannesburg.

Today we’re off for a hike along the Victoria Falls, one of the Seven Natural Wonders and the largest waterfall in the world. You might want to pack your raincoat, as during certain times of the year you can get drenched from the rising spray, giving the falls its local name: ‘The smoke that thunders’. The evening will be for the more adventurous, with opportunities for jumping, swinging or ziplining over the mighty Zambezi river, right next to the magnificent falls.

DAY 9 - VICTORIA FALLS TO CHOBE

We leave the spray of the Falls behind us as we travel across the border to the prolific wildlife-rich haven that is Botswana. Please note, the overnight camping in Chobe not available from 27 October to end of February due to the rainy season. The two nights in Chobe will be spent at the lodge with afternoon and morning game drives will still included.
Chobe
We enjoy lunch and leisure time at our lodge before we take our overnight bags into open Safari vehicles with our own personal guides, and drive to the famous Chobe National Park. Known for having the largest density of elephants, driving along the Chobe River front is a non-stop action adventure with wildlife coming and going, quenching their thirst in the hot African sun. Then to top this off, this is the night where you get to truly experience the wilderness of Africa: by a night out in the middle of the African bush. We have a private Contiki site exclusively set up just for you with your own guides, cooks and a bonfire set under the African stars. After a deliciously prepared meal, lying in your tent that night you will fall asleep to the sounds of Africa: a jackal calling in the distance, the loud whoop of a hyena, and perhaps the roar of lions seeking each other out after their daytime slumber.

This morning we’ll wake up to watch the sunrise over the African bush with a light breakfast, before departing on a morning game drive to hopefully see some of the wildlife we may have heard the night before. We’ll arrive late morning to check into our new lodge and spend the rest of the day relaxing around the pool and swapping stories from the night before. Our last evening together will end off with a sunset cruise on the Chobe river. Surrounded by pods of hippos, with crocs basking on the banks and all forms of African animals coming down to drink, this is truly one African sunset you’ll never forget.
