We depart from Johannesburg at 8am and head off to the Mpumalanga Province. The five-hour road journey from Johannesburg to Kruger National Park is a scenic adventure that transitions from the bustling urban landscape to the vast, open stretches of the South African countryside. As the cityscape fades, rolling hills and sprawling farmlands take over, dotted with small towns and roadside stalls offering local crafts and fresh produce. The road winds through diverse terrains, from rugged mountains to dense forests, with occasional glimpses of wildlife hinting at the wilderness ahead.

In Kruger National Park, on day 1 we do a 3 hour sunset game drive in the vast Kruger National Park. There are possibilities to spot some of the big 5 on this sunset game drive such as elephants, buffaloes, rhino, and many more.
