Signature Madikwe & Kruger Safari: Madikwe, Johannesburg & The Sabi Sands

On arrival at Johannesburg's O.R. Tambo International Airport you will be met by Goway's local representative and assisted to your domestic flight.

On arrival at Madikwe Hills Private Game Reserve you will be met by a member of the camp's staff and transferred to the lodge.

This afternoon, depart on your first game drive in the reserve with your game ranger (time permitting). Your ranger is your host for the duration of your stay and he will take care of your every need whilst sharing his intimate knowledge of the wild. Sipping sundowners under an African sky somehow "finishes off" the whole day's experience.

Today the full day is spent enjoying your included morning and afternoon game drives at your lodge as you search out the Madikwe’s many inhabitants large and small.

Enjoy a second full day to find that extra special sighting as you continue to explore the Madikwe with morning and afternoon game drives.

This morning, head out on one last game drive (time permitting) before transferring to the airstrip in time for your onward flight.

On arrival at Johannesburg, transfer to your hotel in Sandton.

The balance of the day is at leisure.

Today you enjoy a full day Journey to Freedom Tour. Many South Africans gave much, some gave all, to achieve a truly democratic South Africa. Come join on this full day tour that shares some of the journey, pain and struggle of those heroes; witness the places, experience the diverse museums where these momentous, tumultuous years have been so well documented. Your day begins at the Kliptown Open Air Museum where delegates met in 1955 to adopt the Freedom Charter, now the cornerstone of the Bill of Rights and the South African Constitution. The next significant stop is the fascinating Regina Mundi Church, site of so many of the underground meetings of the then banned political parties. Standing in here, you can feel the tension, picture the intensity, the strain on the faces of those unthinkably brave souls, committed at any cost to changing the way of life of a nation. Your next stop is the Hector Pieterson Museum, where you start to unravel the cause of the devastating riots, before travelling past Mandela House, where you have the option of visiting this small museum (own account). Lunch in Soweto at a local restaurant. Then continue your journey driving past the affluent suburb of Diepkloof, which is in stark contrast to the lower income areas seen earlier in the day, en-route to the iconic Apartheid Museum. This is an interactive voyage of discovery, one which takes you from the dark days of whites only privilege, through to Nelson Mandela's historic release. The Apartheid Museum is a multimedia experience, with documentary film snippets, texts, sound clips and live accounts, recapturing life in the dark days of South Africa. It's a fascinating tour, filled with tales of bravery and sadness, but ultimately, it's a story with the right ending.

Following breakfast, transfer to the airport for your flight to the Sabi Sands Private Game Reserve.

Upon arrival at the airstrip, you will be met and transferred to your lodge. Check in and time permitting, spend a few hours at leisure. This afternoon, depart on a safari drive in an open Land Rover with your game ranger.

Up at dawn for your early morning game drive! Of course, the less energetic are welcome to sleep late! Search out a multitude of animals including lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, leopard, cheetah and wild dog, together with a wealth of antelope and birds interacting in their natural environment.

Return to camp for a hearty breakfast, relax around the pool or talk with your ranger and mingle with the guests. Your afternoon game drive takes you well into the evening. Return to your lodge for another sumptuous dinner. Weather permitting you may enjoy a bush 'braai' at a surprise venue!

Enjoy a second full day exploring the reserve with morning and afternoon game drives as you search out the many different animals that call this area home.

This morning, time permitting you depart on your final game drive with the hope of spotting that extra special sighting. Return to the lodge for breakfast. Depart for the airport in time for your onward flight.
