Safari time in Kruger

Mandy Walsh on 09 September 2024
There are DREAM adventures and then there is an adventure to Kruger and words alone can never do it justice. There is something you take away from a safari trip that never leaves you. From the moment you arrive at Hoedsprit Airport in Kruger which is just minutes from the entrance to Kapama Private Game Reserve, the WOW factor begins as we headed to the luxurious River Lodge. With breakfast, lunch and dinner included alongside a morning and an evening game drive, a guided bush walk, selected local and premium drinks, as well as a complimentary pick-up transfer from Hoedspruit Airport for fly-in guests, this 5-Star resort has it all. The food was simply DIVINE!

We also got to take some time out at the River Lodge Spa - considered one of the finest safari spas in Africa, the River Lodge Spa is a firm favourite with all of us. Lounge by the spa pool or get a quick workout in before you hand yourself over to the highly trained and experienced beauty therapists for one of their distinctly African treatments with views of the African Plains. It was all very surreal!

There was also a beautiful pool and cocktail bar - enjoy a craft gin or classic cocktail in hand, relax on a poolside lounger, or just escape the South African sun under a shaded alcove, whilst taking in the sounds of nature around you.

South Africa has always been popular, and I have arranged countless adventures to South Africa not only for couples but for families also - with so many options to choose from like adding some exciting nights in Cape Town, whale watching at Hermanus, experience the Winelands, drive the stunning Garden Route or perhaps a Shark Dive is more your thing. For added luxury enjoy some beach time in Mauritius before returning home. The possibilities are endless. One thing for sure is that it's a trip that you will carry in your heart for a lifetime.

For now, I will let some of my hundreds of photos do the talking!
