After breakfast, you will be collected by an Alluring Africa representative for your private road to head for the coast and Grootbos Nature Reserve Forest Lodge, where you will stay for two nights. Time permitting, enjoy lunch and an afternoon activity.
Built on a hillside where a continent ends, two oceans collide, and the smallest of the world’s six floral kingdoms flourishes, the lodges of Grootbos Private Nature Reserve are uniquely positioned to capture the magic of South Africa’s Western Cape. Below, Walker Bay stretches to the horizon, home to the “marine big five”: great white sharks, southern right whales, seals, penguins, and dolphins; and vast coastal caves bear traces of a Stone Age civilization. Blanketing the hillside with bright, intricate flowers of every shade is the fynbos, or “fine bush,” a hardy, complex plant family endemic to South Africa.

Suspended high above the N’wanetsi River, the dramatic cliffside setting of Singita Lebombo Lodge’s 13 contemporary glass-walled suites ensures inimitable views of the world-renowned Kruger National Park.

The sophisticated loft-style suites embody the essence of modern romantic hideaways and their elevated wooden viewing decks allow guests to sleep outside under the stars. These light-filled structures, floating between river and sky, were inspired by the many eagles’ nests built into the cliff face of the river bank.

Enjoy two full days of game viewing activities at Singita Ebony Lodge.
The Sabi Sands is South Africa’s premier private game viewing destination. It was here that the southern African safari began and today this famous reserve offers exceptional game viewing and equally exceptional accommodations. Two perennial rivers, the Sabi and the Sand flow through this Game Park, sustaining the diverse fauna and flora of the area. The success of leopard viewing within the Sabi Sands is legendary. Elephants, lion, rhino, buffalo, cheetah, giraffe, zebra and a vast variety of antelope and other species can be closely observed in their natural environment.
Expect a wake-up call between 5:00 am and 5:30 am and gather for tea or coffee and rusks before heading out at first light. If you are lucky, the big cats will still be around after their night of hunting. This is Big 5 country (lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo) all of which are possible to see during your stay in Sabi Sand Game Reserve.
There are also many other species to be seen, large and small, as well as fascinating plants and colorful birds. Stop halfway through the morning game drive for hot drinks and rusks from the Landrover snack box, and return to the lodge at around 9:00 am for breakfast. During the rest of the day, you are likely to see wildlife like Nyala antelope and Vervet monkeys wandering around the lodge.
At about 4:00 pm everybody convenes for high tea, before departing with the same ranger/tracker team for the day’s second African bush safari. Enjoy a sundowner drink along the way (additional charge), and get out of the vehicle to stretch your legs and watch the sun go down over the distant Drakensberg Mountains. As darkness descends it’s time to return to the safety of the landrover and let the tracker scan the landscape with a spotlight, picking out the glinting eyes of nocturnal animals. Return to the lodge at around 7:00 pm, where there is time to freshen up before dinner.
