Itinerary

Day 1 : Ivory Moon Arrival & First Sunset Safari

Take a morning flight from Cape Town to Hoedspruit Airport, (flight included, quoted at a fixed rate but may vary at time of booking). Upon arrival, savor a delicious lunch, check into your luxurious suite, and head out for a sunset drive in Blue Canyon Reserve, complete with sundowners and snacks. Return to the lodge for dinner

Day 2 : Full Day Kruger Adventure

Set off early for a full-day adventure in Kruger National Park’s Orpen Satara region, famous for its lion prides and Big 5 encounters (bottled water and packed breakfast included). Return to the lodge in the afternoon for a relaxing evening and dinner.

Day 3 : Full Day Panorama Or Kruger Adventure

Choose between a full-day Panorama Route tour, exploring the stunning Drakensberg escarpment, waterfalls, Blyde River Canyon, Bourke’s Luck Potholes, and God’s Window —or swap it for another Kruger safari to chase more wildlife sightings (no extra cost, but book ahead). Back at the lodge, unwind by the fire before an early dinner of flavorful South African dishes. Then, set out on a night drive through the Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate in an open vehicle with a spotlight, seeking out bush babies, porcupines, leopards, hyenas, and plains game. End the evening with a toast around the fire, sipping creamy Amarula liqueur amid the sounds of the wild.

Day 4 : Final Guided Bushwalk & Return to OT Tambo Airport

Start with a guided bushwalk in the Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate, getting up close to plains game and discovering the bush’s intricate details with expert insights. (Opt for a sunrise safari in a Big 5 private reserve instead, at additional cost—arrange in advance.) Return for a final breakfast on the viewing deck, then check out for the shuttle back to OR Tambo.
