This authentic South African Safari experience which requires a minimum of 5 guests to run, commences at Hoedspruit Gateway Airport, the mini hub of the African Bush. You will be met at the airport by your host, Jacky and driven by mini bus (1/2 hour drive) into the Manyeleti; one of the most rewarding parts of the great Kruger National Park. You will head towards the camp, game viewing en route. After familiarising yourself with the surrounds, you will be having a quick light lunch and then setting off on your first South African Safari with our specialist guide, Mpho. From here on in, the order of the day will be an authentic Old World African Safari Experience!
The Manyeleti Wilderness will afford you close and personal opportunities to encounter the big 5 in their original, natural environment and engage closely with nature; Your hosts will treat you to genuine South African bush warmth, delicious meals and do everything to ensure that you have the best wildlife experience possible.
The Safari Camp business is a collaborative operation, focusing firmly on the enrichment of regional community residents and local service providers. The accommodation is traditionally constructed thatched rondawel huts with your own en suite bathroom. The camp has a bush pool which is awesome for cooling off in the Summer months. The camp meals are all homestyle meals with an emphasis on traditional South African cuisine.
This Safari experience includes an “on foot” walking Safari experience and 3 Open vehicle Safari experiences. The open vehicle safari involves seeking out the iconic African creatures from the comfort of an open safari vehicle with an exceptionally skilled guide within the Manyeleti Reserve. Early morning coffee and rusks or Sundowner drinks and snacks are enjoyed out in the bush while soaking up the vastness and peace that is the African bush while homestyle meals, refreshments and relaxation are enjoyed back at camp.
All activities are conducted by extremely knowledgeable and skilled local guides who have advanced experience of the region and its special nuances. This Safari promises to be a life changing opportunity to commune in nature while getting to spend time with South African’s and see quintessentially African Wildlife in their original natural habitat.
