18 November 2026 - Homeward Bound or Safari Bound
Today marks the conclusion of Chapter One the the South African journey. For guests flying home, a late check-out from City Lodge can be arranged depending on your flight time for added convenience.
Those continuing on with Chapter Two fly to Sabi Sands for an extraordinary safari adventure at Notten’s Bush Camp. Sabi Sands Game Reserve is a prestigious private reserve, adjoining Kruger National Park with no fencing between them, allowing wildlife to move freely. It is renowned for outstanding Big Five sightings, especially leopards, and for its exclusive, low-density safari experience. A key difference from Kruger National Park is that in Sabi Sands, guided safari vehicles may go off-road, allowing closer wildlife encounters and better viewing, whereas in Kruger, vehicles must stay on designated roads at all times.
Note: There are only two Family Suites available for solo-occupancy travellers, allowing a maximum of four solo guests to enjoy en-suite bathrooms. These suites are allocated on a first-come basis. Alternative options include twin share accommodation, or we can arrange solo-occupancy suites at an alternative Sabi Sands lodge. Please note that this option will incur a higher cost, and game drives will not be shared with the group.
Meals - Breakfast for those departing today. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner with a selection of local beverages at Nottens’
19 and 20 November 2026 - Day 2 and 3 of the Safari Life
A typical day at Notten’s Bush Camp follows the gentle rhythm of the African bush, shaped by wildlife and changing light.
Begin before sunrise with coffee on your private deck, then set out on a morning game drive in an open Land Cruiser with an experienced ranger and tracker. Early hours often bring sightings of lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, rhino, giraffe, zebra, and antelope, along with abundant birdlife.
Return for a relaxed breakfast overlooking the wilderness. Late morning is free to lounge by the pool, enjoy the Nature Spa, or watch wildlife wander through the camp.
After a light lunch, choose a guided bush walk with an armed ranger or a late-afternoon game drive as golden light reawakens the bush. Pause for a sundowner at sunset and continue into the night to spot nocturnal creatures such as hyenas, civets, and bushbabies.
End the day with a candlelit dinner under the stars, while the distant calls of lions and hyenas provide a timeless soundtrack as you retire to your suite.
