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

Fly from Cape Town to the Kruger National Park. We will spend five amazing nights at a private camp (only 20 people max in the safari camps that Leslie uses) with guaranteed sightings of all of the big five animals. We will stay at one camp for all six days that Leslie personally chose for the time of year that will have spectacular animal viewings of elephant, lion, rhino, leopard, and more that will make us think that we have joined the herd or the pride. This is a safari adventure of an emotional intensity that you will never forget. This will be a spectacular adventure safari that anybody can do.

| Day
6, Saturday October 8 |
| |
- Six safari days in the grand tradition. At the end you will never want to leave. Each day begins with a 6am wake up call. Coffee, tea hot chocolate and snacks before we set of in the early morning for our safari run. Some time during the drive we will stop for biscuits and coffee. After four hours we will return to camp for a full brunch. Following that there will be time to relax, edit video/ camera footage, relax read or catch up on sleep.
Please note Leslie only chose camps that will have a very good chance of viewing animals (elephant giraffe and antelope,) from your deck. At 4 pm, we set out again for an evening safari run that will continue into the night when we search for nocturnal animals using a powerful spot light - another great adventure.
- Head out in the early morning and late afternoon because animals, unlike us, rest during the heat of the day and nothing moves in the bush once it gets hot. They are active and go to “work” when the day is cooling the early morning and evenings. The best time to safari is to view the animals when they are most active and working.
- 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.
