15 Days Kruger, Kwazulu and
Coast
Gamelands, culture and coastal
encounters
Introduction
An incredible journey covering the gamelands of Kruger
National Park and Tshukudu Reserve, the remote coast of
Mozambique, the Kingdom of Swaziland and the
battlefields of Kwazulu-Natal. Plenty of variety and
exciting activities are on offer throughout this
dramatic tour through some of the most legendary areas
of southern Africa with the chance for close encounters
with wildlife on the way, from big cats to bottle-nosed
dolphins.
MagoebAskloof and TsHukudu
From Johannesburg we travel north into the Transvaal
through spectacular mountain passes to the edge of the
escarpment overlooking the South African lowveld. Our
first stop is Magoebaskloof, home of the rain queen
“Modjadji” - made famous by Ryder Haggard's book “She”.
We have time here to try lots of exciting optional
activities before moving on to Tshukudu game reserve for
our first opportunity to search for the “Big Five”. We
can get an even closer encounter with a visit to the
lion and cheetah wildlife rehabilitation centre and
breeding projects.
Kruger and Mlilwane
Taking in the awesome Blyde River Canyon and Pilgrim's
Rest en route, we reach Kruger, arguably South Africa's
greatest reserve. The huge gamelands here are the size
of Israel and are home to most of Africa's animal
species (including the “Big Five”) as well as excellent
birdlife. We'll make extensive game drives hoping to see
rhino, lion, cheetah, giraffe and elephant. From Kruger,
we continue to the Kingdom of Swaziland where we stay at
the wildlife sanctuary of Mlilwane. Antelope walk freely
amongst the grass-huts and it is possible to walk
anywhere in the sanctuary. There's more time here for
optional activities and also the chance to visit a local
school to gain an insight into the very traditional
Swazi kingdom.
Mozambique, Kwazulu-Natal and Dundee
Undoubtedly one of the highlights of our trip is our
stay at the remote coastal area of Ponto-do-Ouro in
Southern Mozambique where we have the remarkable
opportunity to take a boat launch and interact with
bottle-nosed dolphins in their natural habitat. Simply
being with these mammals is a truly magical experience.
There is also time for relaxing on the beach and for
visiting an elephant park before we head back into South
Africa and travel through Zululand. Here we learn much
of this proud culture and even have dinner at a
traditional village where we can swap stories and ideas
with these wonderful people. Our final highlight before
returning to Johannesburg is at Dundee, where we take a
guided tour of the famous battle-fields of Isandlwana
and Rorke's Drift to learn more about the history
brought so vividly to life in the film “Zulu”.
