Itinerary
17 Day Africa Trip - Designed & Guided
by Leslie Edwin
“You are never too old to have a happy childhood”
NOTE FROM OUR GUIDE: Itinerary
changes may occur but will not impact the quality of the tour.
Africa is an amazing tourist area but a challenging one organizationally
where the ability to be flexible is key. Things can go a bit
awry now and then, but I believe that with fun, humor and
your sense of being on holiday adventure we’ll have a brilliant
time. Best regards, Leslie

1 - Arrive
Cape Town |
| |
- You will arrive today in Cape Town. One of the most beautiful cities in the world!
- During our stay in Cape Town, we will stay at the beautiful Vineyard Hotel with a view of Table Mountain right outside your room. It is truly a charming, old world hotel – long on atmosphere with 6 acres of private gardens. If it is a clear day, we will take the cable car to the top of Table Mountain, where you will marvel at the panoramic view of Cape Town and the surrounding landscape.

- Today we pack up and fly to Skakuza (SKZ) via Johannesburg. There, the friendly staff of the Lodge will meet us for our 5 night stay. Idube offers a world of adventure and discovery. Set deep in the wild heartland of the Sabi Sands reserve, part of the world-renowned Kruger Park. An exclusive family owned lodge dedicated to giving you a genuine bush experience. Cross the suspended walkway to the hide next to the dam. Sit quietly and watch elephant come down to bath, or lions quench their thirst.
- Leave the main door open at night (close only the mosquito screens) and hear the sounds of Africa at night when the bush is awake – the roar of lions, the laughing hyenas.
- Wake up in the morning to a chorus of a hundred birds.
- Your meals will be in a beautiful African boma and there is a swimming pool for your pleasure in the afternoon. There are 2 game drives per day, plus 1 bush walk per day with an armed ranger.

- Today we will transfer to Idube camp, another jewel the world famous Sabi Sands Game Reserve. This is the best place in the world for leopard and rhino (lion and elephant too!) In in the heart of the five million acre Kruger National Park, this is the best place in Africa for seeing lion, leopard, rhino and buffalo. (All at a range of 10ft. from our land rovers) Here, off road driving takes on a whole new meaning as we plow our way through the bush on the tails of lions stalking a kill. (The best 4X4 bush experience)
- At night, we search for nocturnal animals by spotlight, as almost all animals are active mostly at night. The accommodation is luxurious and the food superb. Three days of unbeatable wilderness.
