Activity Description

Your thrilling safari adventure begins early in the morning with a departure from OR Tambo International Airport. You’ll journey through the scenic Highveld and Lowveld regions of Mpumalanga, arriving at Sekekama Tented Camp by approximately 14:00. After a chance to freshen up, the excitement kicks off with a sunset game drive in an open safari vehicle across the Greater Kruger Blue Canyon Reserve. Be on the lookout for the iconic Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo—alongside incredible wildlife like giraffes, zebras, and hippos. Sip on sundowners in the heart of the bush before returning to camp to enjoy dinner around the boma fire, sharing stories from an unforgettable first day.

Your day may unfold in one of two ways: either with an early departure for Kruger National Park and a bush breakfast along the way, followed by an earlier return, or by enjoying breakfast at the lodge before setting off and coming back later. The exact departure time will be shared with you the evening before, based on current animal activity to ensure the best possible game-viewing experience. This safari through Kruger will span approximately 7 to 8 hours, taking you deep into the Orpen-Satara region—renowned for its high likelihood of lion sightings. After an exhilarating day, you’ll return to camp with plenty of time to relax and prepare for a magical, starlit dinner around the fire.

After breakfast, it is time for good-byes and your return to Johannesburg. You should arrive back at OR Tambo International Airport around 17:00 or 18:00.
