Overview

This safari uses two of the best-known bush camps in South Africa. Jock Safari Lodge sits in a private concession in the south of Kruger, and Londolozi sits in the Sabi Sand, a family-run reserve known for its leopards and its guides.

The two places feel different, and four nights gives you eight game drives, with expert trackers and the rare chance to be off the road.

Highlights

  • Two nights at Jock Safari Lodge in Kruger
  • Two nights at Londolozi in the Sabi Sand
