Itinerary 2 day Big 5 Safari

Day 1

As the sun rises, we collect you from your accommodation in Durban and surrounding areas, aiming for a 6am departure.

En-route, the drive will be filled with stories of the history of Durban and KwaZulu Natal, once known as the Kingdom of the Zulus.

Our first stop will be at the St Lucia Wetlands, part of the Isimangaliso Park, a World Heritage Site. Here we will board a boat for a 2-hour cruise of the estuary, viewing hippos and crocodiles. 

Following this, is an optional lunch stop, near to the Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Game Reserve.

Our game drives start from the moment we enter the Reserve and we will spend the afternoon observing and learning about the wild animals, hoping to see Africa’s Big 5.

As the day draws to a close, we check in to our camp in the northern section of the Game Reserve, perched high upon a hill, with panoramic views over the plains.

Tonight, we have the opportunity to go on a 3-hour sunset game drive, in an open safari vehicle.

We arrive back in camp ready to enjoy a scrumptious buffet dinner, offering a variety of local cuisines.

This evening, we do a mini walking safari in the camp, searching for some of the night creatures like scorpions. 

Day 2

We wake before sunrise for an early morning game drive and the possibility of finding lions, elephant and rhino.

After breakfast, we continue with more safari drives.

Optional activities are also available such as an elephant interaction or cheetah interaction.

We have some lunch and head back to Durban, arriving at our accommodation around 5pm.
