Highlights
Itinerary
Day 1 : Arrival Johannesburg – Hazyview (405 Km – 4.5 H)
Location: Hazyview
Accommodation Name: Umbhaba Eco Lodge
After landing at O.R. Tambo International Airport, you will be met by a tour representative who will guide you to the transfer to Kruger National Park. Make sure your flight lands before 6:00 am in the morning to catch the transfer. Arrive at the hotel where you will have time to relax, unpack and enjoy a light lunch. Enjoy a swim or walk around the beautiful Lodge and walking trail. We will depart before 16.00 pm for a Sunset/Night safari in the Kruger National Park. The sun sets early in the winter months which means longer Night safari, and in summer enjoy beautiful sunsets while on safari, before returning to the lodge around 20.00 pm for a lovely dinner, and a good night’s rest.
Overnight in Hazyview.
Day 2 : Kruger National Park
Location: Hazyview
Accommodation Name: Umbhaba Eco Lodge
A spellbinding experience awaits you this morning. Head out to explore Kruger National Park, often thought of as the world’s largest wildlife zoo. Wake up early in the morning and jump into a safari jeep with a specialised wildlife ranger-guide and drive over to Kruger Park for your very first safari experience. Enjoy a thrilling game drive and, like completing a wildlife bingo, try to spot all of Africa's highly sought-after Big Five: elephant, lion, rhino, leopard and buffalo. You will make two stops during the day, one for breakfast (included) and another for lunch (not included), at different rest camps throughout the safari. That way you will be able to take advantage of your time in the game reserve to the fullest and make sure you don’t miss any animal you were longing to see in its natural habitat. You will be driven back to the lodge in the late afternoon, at around 16:00 pm. The rest of the day is free for you to spend at leisure until dinner is served.
Overnight in Hazyview.
Day 3 : Kruger National Park
Location: Hazyview
Accommodation Name: Umbhaba Eco Lodge
Today we will visit the Blyde River Canyon the 3rd largest canyon in the world. The canyon is over 40km long and 1200m deep. At a certain lookout point on the canyon, you will get to see the 3 Rondavels. The Rondavels get their name from their similar appearance to the Rondavel houses, a traditional Hut commonly built in Africa. These 3 outcrops stand prominently from the landscape. We then make a stop at God's window which allows people a window from the escarpment 1000 m below, one can see as far as Kruger and beyond on a clear day. Your comfortable walking shoes will be needed as the various lookout points have paths and trails to the view sights. Getting to the top takes an average person around 15-20 minutes, but it is worth the walk through a natural rainforest environment. We will arrive at the lodge at around 18-00 pm.
Overnight in Hazyview.
Day 4 : Hazyview Depart Johannesburg
Location: Johannesburg
Early departure from the lodge before sunrise for the last game drive. Your guide will focus on animals we could not find on the first 2 safaris and hoping for a lion and leopard as they are most active in the early mornings, No safari is ever the same and Kruger has a huge network of roads to choose from, guides will safari in different areas of the park in different seasons, for the chance to see more sightings. After a short breakfast and coffee stop, we will continue with the safari returning to the lodge at around 11:00 am, here you say goodbye to your guide and freshen up before the journey back to Johannesburg. You will be collected by the shuttle at around 11:30 am, and we return to Johannesburg OR Tambo shuttle terminal, arriving between 17:00 – 18:00 pm.

How does Today Voyages work?
We are an Online Travel Agency, specialized in Group Vacations and Private Vacations. We have been in business for over 30 years through our sister company Go West Tours and, throughout the years, have developed an extensive network of trusted professionals around the world and a structured methodology to screen our suppliers. Today Voyages offers a selection of tours that are designed, managed and operated by our network of trusted Tour Operators and DMCs. Our database is connected with our partners so that when you make a booking with us this will immediately be received and processed by the Tour Operator.
-
Where should I buy the flights to reach my destination?
Today Voyages does not sell flights directly. None of our tours come with flights included. Why? Because we prefer to give full flexibility to our valued customers to select the airlines and the booking platform they prefer. As soon as your flight is booked and confirmed, we invite you to update your flight plan within your Today Voyages booking confirmation page by entering your flight number, departure and arrival times, as well as your Passport information (if needed). None of these fields are mandatory but we highly encourage you to provide as much information as possible. This will allow us to provide you with the excellent service you are looking for.
-
What is an additional excursion or tour optional?
Certain tours might show a selection of additional excursions/optional activities that you may want to add to our standard itinerary. These services are priced separately and can be added to the cart before completing the booking. We believe these optional services to contribute to making your vacation unforgettable; however, you are in no way obliged to purchase them. All our tours are awesome with our without optional services!
-
What is the difference between Group Vacations and Private Vacations?
If you purchase one of our Group vacation packages, you will be escorted by a professional tour guide and will be traveling with other like-minded travelers you may not know. The group size depends on the tour you select. If you purchase one of our Private vacation packages, you will be traveling only within your group of friends. You may or may not be escorted by a professional tour guide; this depends on the type of private tour you are interested in.
-
When and how will I receive the travel documents (vouchers)?
If you book one of our Group or Private tours, you will receive your travel documents via email approximately 20 days prior to travel date. If you reserve one of our Vacation Rentals, you will hear back from the property manager via email a few days prior to checking-in. We recommend checking your emails on a regular basis as this is our most reliable method of communication. If you have questions or need additional support, you can always chat with us or email us directly.

What happens if a Group tour does not get confirmed?
It is very simple... you will be offered an alternative departure date or be refunded the full amount you pre-paid. No questions asked!
