From Cape Town’s coast to the Greater Kruger bush

Swap coastal city days for six days of wildlife and Lowveld scenery, with return flights between Cape Town and Hoedspruit included. Your journey begins with three nights at Safari Moon Luxury Bush Lodge near Hoedspruit, then moves to Ndzhaka Tented Camp for two nights inside Manyeleti Game Reserve.

US$3,050 per person sharing; US$4,270 for a solo traveller. All airport and lodge transfers in the itinerary are included. This is a return-to-Cape-Town package, not a road-transfer finish in Johannesburg. Flights, baggage allowances and accommodation availability are confirmed before booking, with arrival and departure times coordinated around the safari programme.

Boutique lodge comfort, Kruger wildlife and canyon views

Safari Moon offers a comfortable luxury bush lodge base for your first three nights. Set out for a sunset drive in Tshukudu on arrival, followed by a full-day open-vehicle Kruger safari through the Orpen and Satara region. Your guide follows wildlife activity across different habitats, searching for elephants, buffalo, giraffes, predators and birdlife. Stop at Satara Rest Camp for lunch at your own expense.

A full day on the Panorama Route adds a different side of the region: Blyde River Canyon and the Three Rondavels, God’s Window, Bourke’s Luck Potholes and Lisbon Falls are typical highlights. Weather, road access and available time shape the day’s stops. Lunch during the scenic outing is extra.

A tented finale in Manyeleti

After a Tshukudu sunrise drive and breakfast on Day 4, transfer to Ndzhaka for lunch and your first Manyeleti afternoon safari. Four reserve drives across the final three days bring morning and evening perspectives, with time between outings to relax at camp and enjoy its waterhole setting.

The two properties offer different experiences: Safari Moon is a luxury bush lodge, while Ndzhaka provides an authentic tented reserve stay. Game drives are shared unless private arrangements are separately quoted. Animals move freely through the broader Greater Kruger landscape, but particular sightings and wildlife visits to the camp waterhole cannot be guaranteed.

Flights, transfers and safari activities covered

The package includes five nights, breakfasts and dinners at Safari Moon, scheduled meals at Ndzhaka, two Tshukudu drives, one full-day Kruger safari, the Panorama day excursion, four Manyeleti drives, qualified guides, conservation levies and Kruger entrance fees. Return Cape Town flights and every airport and lodge connection in the itinerary are included in the price.

Drinks, gratuities, insurance, personal purchases, optional activities and lunches away from Ndzhaka are extra. Confirm any onward connection from Cape Town with us before purchasing tickets, as the final morning drive and airport transfer depend on the available return flight.
