Located in the northern area of Kruger National Park, your
lodge offers many exciting activities and adventures in its
natural, pristine environment. The Lodge is set within its own
10,000 hectare private concession area of the world famous
Kruger National Park and has been carefully designed and built
in keeping with eco-sensitive policies, to ensure that there is
little impact on the natural environment, as guests will bear
witness to artifacts discovered during the building program.
Accommodating 24 guests in luxury individual suites, each
with their own private Jacuzzi, the lodge features large expanses of glass and magnificent
wooden decks for better game-viewing. Five-star suites are equipped with luxurious king-size
beds with only the finest furniture and imported linen, en-suite bathrooms with antique baths, air
conditioning and spacious decks that offer stunning

Twice a day, you will have the chance to enjoy a mobile
safari tour in one of several state-of-the-art Land
Rovers, accompanied by experienced rangers and
trackers who are extremely knowledgeable on the
African bush and its species. Afternoon drives include
sundowners (refreshments) while you enjoy the glorious
African sunset. Walking safaris are also available at
your request. Additionally, nocturnal animal viewings from the grounds of the lodge, and daily
excursions to a nearby village where you can experience the authentic lifestyles of an African
bush tribe can be arranged for you if you are interested.
Each day of your stay, you will experience magnificent cuisine,
freshly prepared to each guest’s satisfaction by the lodge chefs,
from a menu as extensive as the Africa wilderness. With an air of

watching expeditions; and a self-drive experience, driving into Kruger National Park on your
own.
Days Seven through Ten: Private Game Reserve- After your final game drive and

your next safari experience, located on the Sabi Sands.
The Game Lodge is the epitome of a fully inclusive,
diverse African wildlife and cultural experience.
Memorable and exciting big game viewing and a
fascinating insight into the local tribal customs of the
Shangaan people, will form part of your safari
experience. The mission of the lodge is to exceed, in
every respect, their guests’ expectations of quality game
viewing, fine hospitality, personal service and
exceptional cuisine. Savanna aims to make each and every guest feel special and to give their
guests the best game viewing experience imaginable!

luxury and privacy, complete with your very own private deck and
plunge pool. From the comfort of the main lodge, guests may view
some of Africa’s most impressive wildlife. The lounge and dining

you can relax and enjoy a rejuvenating treatment in the privacy of
your suite, anytime.
** For the next five days, enjoy a daily program of safari drives,
breakfast, lunch and dinner, similar to your first lodge experience.
By splitting up your time between Kruger National Park and Sabi
Sands, you will have the chance to discover a different safari
program in a much more diverse concession area. Most animals of
the safari ranges congregate in just one select concession area, so
by moving to a different, private concession area, you will have the
distinct opportunity of viewing a broader range of animals on full
view to you from both your private Executive suite and the Savanna’s state-of-the-art safari
vehicles. Our seasoned, professional travel partners in South Africa highly recommend this
experience to you – please let your Wine Tours of the World representative know if this is a
suitable addition to your travel plans while in South Africa.
Day Eleven: Return to Johannesburg- After
your final early game drive and breakfast, you will be
met and transferred to Hoedspruit Airport to coordinate
with your return flight to Johannesburg, where you will
enjoy your final night in South Africa. Upon arrival
into Johannesburg, you will be greeted and transferred
to an incredible five-star hotel located in the exclusive
Sandhurst suburb of Sandton, where you are invited to
spend the rest of your day at leisure.
Beginning with your hotel reception at check-in, you will discover that this superb hotel makes a
word-class statement of ethnic African elegance, combined with personalized attention to every
exacting detail. The hotel (a former residence) has witnessed history within its walls as it
became home to Nelson Mandela after he was
released from prison. It was during this time that
Mandela used the serene setting of this resort and spa
to edit his autobiography "Long Walk to Freedom.”
Set upon six acres of lushly landscaped gardens, the
hotel has been designed to capture and embrace its
natural environment. One of the design themes is the
extensive use of water, and the central point of the

water theme is the magnificent 920 square meter swimming pool. The hotel boasts 24 suites of
various sizes, and all suites incorporate a strong element of African art and latticed shutters
covering large bay windows, looking onto tranquil gardens and the hotel’s incredible pool.
Relax, settle in, and relish the final moments of your journey to South Africa, and be sure to
make it a memorable one!
