6-Day Luxury Big 5 Kruger to Sabi Sands Safari Adventure

This 6-day Kruger to Sabi Sands Safari combines the unique experiences of Jock Safari Lodge and Inyati Game Lodge, allowing you to enjoy the diverse landscapes and abundant wildlife of both locations.

Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival and Transfer to Jock Safari Lodge

Your adventure begins with a morning flight from Johannesburg (JNB) to Skukuza Airport (SZK), followed by a scenic road transfer to Jock Safari Lodge, set within a private concession in Kruger National Park. 

Upon arrival, settle into your luxurious thatched suite, featuring a private deck with a plunge pool and an outdoor day bed, offering stunning views of the nearby riverbed. In the late afternoon, head out on your first game drive with knowledgeable guides, immersing yourself in Kruger’s vast wilderness. 

As the sun sets, return to the lodge for a welcome dinner under the stars, introducing you to the sights and sounds of the African bush.

Day 2: Full Day at Jock Safari Lodge

Begin the day with an early morning game drive, where you’ll experience Kruger’s wildlife at its most active. Keep an eye out for the iconic Big Five—lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards, buffalo—and other fascinating species. 

After a hearty breakfast back at the lodge, spend the late morning relaxing on your deck, enjoying the tranquility of your plunge pool, or simply soaking in the serene riverbed views. After lunch, join a guided bush walk to explore the smaller wonders of the ecosystem, learning about unique flora, fauna, and tracking techniques. 

Conclude the day with a sunset game drive, capturing the magic of dusk in the bush, before enjoying a delicious dinner back at the lodge.

Day 3: Jock Safari Lodge to Inyati Game Lodge

Enjoy one last sunrise game drive at Jock Safari Lodge before breakfast. Then, check out and embark on a scenic transfer to Inyati Game Lodge, located along the lush banks of the Sand River in the renowned Sabi Sands Game Reserve. 

Upon arrival, settle into your chalet and take in the serene river views. In the late afternoon, venture out on your first Sabi Sands game drive, exploring this exclusive reserve known for its rich wildlife and high chance of leopard sightings. 

As the day winds down, return to the lodge for a sumptuous dinner, relishing the lodge’s warm hospitality and inviting atmosphere.

Day 4: Full Day at Inyati Game Lodge

Start the day with an early morning game drive led by experienced rangers, immersing yourself in the vibrant landscapes and unique wildlife of Sabi Sands. 

After a hearty breakfast back at the lodge, spend your midday hours relaxing by the river or unwinding at the lodge, soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. 

Later, enjoy afternoon high tea before heading out on an evening game drive, capturing the enchanting beauty of the reserve as the sun sets and nocturnal animals begin to emerge. Return to the lodge for a cozy dinner, sharing stories with fellow guests.

Day 5: Safari Adventures at Inyati Game Lodge

Another early morning game drive awaits, giving you an additional opportunity to encounter Sabi Sands’ diverse wildlife, from majestic big cats to graceful elephants. After breakfast, enjoy some free time at the lodge, perhaps joining a bush walk or simply relaxing on your private terrace. 

In the afternoon, savor high tea and then embark on your final evening game drive, a perfect chance to photograph the captivating landscape bathed in golden light. Back at the lodge, enjoy a farewell dinner, reminiscing about your incredible safari experiences and cherished memories.

Day 6: Departure

Savor an early breakfast at Inyati Game Lodge on your last morning before checking out. You’ll then transfer to Skukuza Airport for your return flight to Johannesburg (JNB), bringing back unforgettable memories of your journey through Kruger National Park and the Sabi Sands Game Reserve.

Heleen was great
Heleen was meticulous with our requirements and recomendations. We changed a number of times so it was a bit awkward but nothing too much for her. Its not easy booking from abroad but we received all the information we needed and actual booking and payment was simple

Outstanding Experience! (Cape Town, Sabi Sands, Vic Falls)
After attempting to book this trip myself (a couple coming from the US), I gave up and reached out to Sara from Safari.com. I told Sara what I was thinking and by the next day she had created several wonderful itineraries! Based on her suggestions, we personalized the itineraries and within 7 days I was booked and all set!! Sara was available at all times (before, during, and after the trip). We are currently heading home and we are so happy with all the bookings Sara created for us! Everything went flawlessly. Her 3rd parties for tours and transfers were perfect (always early, professional, knowledgeable, and kind). The hotel acknowledged our anniversary thanks to Sara. We stayed at the Victoria & Alfred hotel in Cape Town, then off to Dulini Moya in Sabi Sands, and finally Victoria Falls Island Treehouse in Zimbabwe. I highly recommend all of them. Tell Sara what you envision your experience to be and your budget and she will make it happen!! Her knowledge was so helpful in assisting us to choose the perfect itinerary. It was comforting that she kept in touch while we were traveling throughout Africa. I feel so lucky to have had Sara arrange this trip and will certainly request her expertise again in the future!! You won’t have to worry about anything because she is on top of it all. Do not hesitate!! Book with Sara from Safari.com!

Incredibly helpful and experienced agent Anja
Anja was incredibly helpful and organized the most beautiful safari for us at a small lodge and also arranged our transport. She always responded within minutes no matter the day and took time for all my questions. I will recommend anyone who is looking for a premium experience to get in contact with Anja!
