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.

Exceptional travel agent and overall experience!!
Leigh Ann was an exceptional travel agent who went above and beyond to make our trip to Kruger National Park, Victoria Falls, and Chobe unforgettable. Her recommendations were spot-on, and what made the experience even better was her personal perspective—insights you simply won’t find online. She shared tips that added so much value to our trip and made everything feel more meaningful. Leigh Ann was available anytime we had questions, which made us feel completely supported throughout the trip. From the initial planning stages to our return, every detail was seamless and perfectly coordinated. If you’re planning a trip to Africa, I highly recommend Leigh Ann. She truly gave us a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Thank you, Leigh Ann!

Luxury South Africa Tour
I inquired into a South African safari tour. I asked two questions, is this a private tour and what are the available dates in May. The first question wasn't answered and the itinerary presented was for "May 2025" but had February dates. When I asked for clarification on the timeline and the dates, there was no response (over 3 days now). I would expect a better response for a luxury tour.

3-nights Zambia trip
I would start by saying before I started talking to Leigh-Ann Croeser I knew I wanted to go on this 3-nights adventure in Zambia with my family towards the end of this year, but I did not have any idea of how to go about planning it, thankfully Leigh-Ann responded immediately to my enquiry. Ever since I started communicating with her, she has been a very friendly, professional, knowledgeable, awesome Luxury Safari consultant who came through for me in every step of this process. She offered great advice and did a great job in customizing our itinerary and put my mind at ease in the process. She always responded quickly and gave me great advise when I needed. We are so looking forward to going on this adventure. I want to thank her from the bottom of my heart;) Thembi Coleman and her family

The lodge was great
The lodge was great, very friendly stuff. Saw all kind of animals. The vendor we booked the lodge, charged way to much, compared when you book the lodge directly.
