4-Day Luxury Fly-In Safari in South Africa’s Kruger National Park

Depart from Johannesburg's OR Tambo International Airport to Hoedspruit Airport. On arrival, we will meet and transfer you to Imbali Safari Lodge for check-in. (Flights beginning/ending in Cape Town are available at a surcharge). Imbali Safari Lodge offers a luxury safari experience, within a 100 square kilometer private concession, in the iconic Kruger National Park. Enjoy spacious suites with private splash pools and massage treatments. In the late afternoon, you will head out with your guide and tracker for an afternoon game drive through the reserve in search of wildlife, including the Big Five. Savour the rich smells of the bush, hear the shrill calls of the magpie shrike, and see the wind blowing through the feather grass dotting the savannah plains. On game drives, safari vehicles are permitted to leave the road and drive off-road to get closer to the wildlife and capture that perfect image. Arrive back at the lodge in time to freshen up before enjoying a sumptuous dinner.

An early morning wake-up call starts the day, followed by a freshly brewed cup of tea or coffee and rusks before setting off on a morning game drive. The cooler morning temperatures mean that the game in the reserve is often more active, and the softer light makes for incredible photographs. Guests will enjoy some of Kruger’s most spectacular landscapes and an extraordinary variety of wildlife, birdlife, and plant life within the Mluwati Concession, ensuring that each safari experience is unique. Return to the lodge for breakfast, after which you will have time to relax by the pool and read a good book or enjoy views of the Nwaswitsontso River from your private deck. Later in the afternoon, you will head out on your afternoon game drive, which may continue beyond dusk, and return to the lodge to enjoy dinner and reminisce about the day’s sightings.

After one final game drive and a warm, heartening breakfast, you bid farewell to the African bush as you transfer back to the airport in time to catch your return flight to Johannesburg OR Tambo International Airport. Here, you will connect with your onward travel arrangements.
