Day 1 : Depart Kruger Mpumalanga Airport for 3 nights, Djuma Bush Lodge or similar, Full Board & Game Activities
Transfer to Djuma Game Reserve in the Sabi Sands. Bush Lodge has long been a favourite among our clients who prefer a more casual, laid-back style of safari with the emphasis on an all-round experience rather than on ticking species off a must see list. Bush Lodge has delightful friendly atmosphere and 8 simple thatched chalets with air-conditioning. There's a lovely swimming pool overlooking a well-used waterhole, an elevated viewing deck and library. Early morning and late afternoon/evening game drives with an experienced game ranger give you a deep understanding of the flora and fauna with a chance to see elephant, lion, rhino, leopard and buffalo, and other game.
