What to look forward to
Our nickname for this tour is “The Best Kept Secret”. The reason is that, while people may think only of the Kruger Park for a safari or Cape Town for the beach, you can actually experience both in one trip from Durban. This 10-day tour includes stays at two very different luxury Big Five safari parks and ends in pure pure luxury at your 5-star beach hotel in Umhlanga Rocks.
DAYS 1, 2, & 3•PRIVATE TENTED SAFARI
Start your safari under canvas, Zululand
Getting intimate with the African bush
Our non-electrified tented safari camp in the heart of Zululand offers an experience like no other. You will be looked after by dedicated staff and bush-hardened rangers who will cater for your every need. You’ll have two safari drives per day on open game drive vehicles with ‘sundowner’ drinks in the bush each evening amongst the Big Five.
DAYS 4, 5, & 6•YOUR NEXT WILDLIFE ADVENTURE
