Day 3

Day 4

After breakfast we will leave for Maduma Boma Game Concervancy, our next overnight stop. Here will be able to sit quietly at one of the many hides and dams situated on the farm and watch the abundant bird life busy with their daily routine. Lunch is spent around your own private swimming pool, swimming and soaking up the sun, while a mother warthog and her kids visit you for tea.
At dusk, the Drakensberg Mountains are awash with red - sundowners defined. In the evening, you enjoy a 'bushveld braai'. You spend the evening around the fire, relaying the days stories. After the sun goes down, the night comes alive. The lonely call of the Hyena, the bark of the hungry Jackal and the Owl's hoot and the piercing call of the Night Jar. This is the time to sit and stare at the southern night sky, and then you realize that this has to be God's own country.

Day 5

Day 6 

After an early morning breakfast we leave for the Kruger National Park , nearly 2 million hectares of unrivalled diversity of life forms fuses with historical and archaeological sights – this is real Africa .  The world-renowned Kruger National Park offers a wildlife experience that ranks with the best in Africa . Established in 1898 to protect the wildlife of the South African Lowveld. Truly the flagship of the South African national parks, Kruger is home to an impressive number of species: 336 trees, 49 fish, 34 amphibians, 114 reptiles, 507 birds and 147 mammals. Man's interaction with the Lowveld environment over many centuries - from bushman rock paintings to majestic archaeological sites like Masorini and Thulamela - is very evident in the Kruger National Park. These treasures represent the cultures, persons and events that played a role in the history of the Kruger National Park and are conserved along with the park's natural assets. 

The Satara Rest Camp is situated in an excellent game viewing area, with the bush relatively open and the animals plentiful and diverse. The camp itself has a rustic charm, with the bulk of the accommodation set out in a series of circles. Satara is well wooded and the bird-life is prolific. At night the clink of fruit bats is fused with the chirping of cicadas and crickets. The calls of owls and nightjars add to the symphony that is punctuated intermittently by the whoop of hyena, the screech of jackal and the roars of lion. After breakfast, we will have the last opportunity for some game viewing on our way out as we leave the Kruger National Park at the Kruger Gate for our next overnight stop at Witrivier Lodge.
