Get picked up from your hotel in Pretoria or Johannesburg and head to the Dinokeng Game Reserve. Relax and watch the city stress melt away as you journey north. Your driver will provide fun facts about the region and a quick introduction to the incredible wildlife you're about to meet.
Arrive at the gates of the reserve, ready to swap four wheels for the open-air safari vehicle. Meet your expert ranger who's ready to hunt for the Big 5. Get a quick briefing from your ranger, then hit the trails immediately.
Your ranger is a master tracker, following clues like spoor, broken branches, and alarm calls to find the animals. Track the colossal elephant, scan the thickets for the fearsome lion, keep an eye on the water sources for the tough Cape buffalo, look for the elusive rhino, and pray for a glimpse of the phantom leopard.
Look out for the skyscraper-like giraffe and the dashing herds of zebra. Spot the little warthogs—often seen kneeling like they're offering a quick prayer. Mid-drive, pull up in a safe, scenic spot for a quick breather. Enjoy a complimentary refreshment and light snack while soaking up the sounds of the African bush. It’s the perfect moment to compare your best animal photos.
Return to the base, filled with the dust and memories of the bush. Say goodbye to your ranger and jump back into your comfortable transfer vehicle. Sit back, relax, and browse through your safari photos while you’re whisked back to your hotel in Pretoria or Johannesburg.
