Authentic Bush Camps of Madikwe and The Greater Kruger National Park

This 7 night safari has been hand crafted to combine two of South Africa's most authentic bush camps in the Madikwe Game Reserve and Timbavati Private Game Reserve in the Greater Kruger National Park.
Its all about experience here with small intimate camps where one is able to truly reconnect with nature. Charging facilities are provided but there is no electricity in either of these camps, allowing for unobstructed viewing of South Africa's beautiful night skies. If you're looking to reconnect with nature and enjoy a true break away from all the mod conns, the combination of these two camps is ideal.
Travel between the two regions is either by road transfer or a combination of commercial/charter flights. For those working on a tighter budget return transfers by road with an overnight stay in Johannesburg will work best otherwise, charter flights between Johannesburg and Madikwe and commercial flights between Johannesburg and Hoedspruit will eliminate any need to overnight in Johannesburg.

Day 1-3
Travel to Madikwe Game Reserve
Your adventure begins with a scenic 4 hour road transfer from Johannesburg to Madikwe Game Reserve in South Africa's North West Province.
On arrival in Madikwe you will be met your local guide and taken through to the rustic but charming Mosethla Bush Camp. The camp is unfenced and our guests are accommodated in true safari style in raised wooden cabins set amongst the natural vegetation around a central camp fire and lapa area.
You'll be taken on your first game drive (departure time varies depending on the time of year – from about between 3.00 in mid winter to 4.30 in the heat of summer.) Upon your return, a wholesome and traditionally cooked dinner will be waiting for you.
After this, you can take your drinks or coffee to the camp fire and share your experiences of the day before collapsing into bed, to sleep as you can only do in the silence of the bush, under the stars.
The next morning we'll wake you up for a quick cup of coffee and an early morning start. (Here again, times vary between a 5am wake up call on the hot summer mornings and as late as 7.30 when it’s colder.)

Day 4-7
Travel from Madikwe to the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve
Today you will depart for The Timbavati Private Nature Reserve through either a combination of charter and commercial flights, or by road transfer which would require an overnight stay in Johannesburg (our travel planners will help you choose the option best suited to your budget).
On arrival at Umlani Buschcamp you will check in and be taken to your room. You can then freshen up before game drive. Afterward, you will return for dinner and a nice relaxing evening.
Umlani was founded in 1989 by Marco and Marie-Louise Schiess in the central section of the Timbavati Private Nature Reserve. In 1993, the fences between the Timbavati and the Kruger were removed to allow for wildlife migration and this pristine wilderness area became known as the Greater Kruger National Park.

Day 8
Return to Johannesburg
After a shorter morning drive you will once again board either a commercial flight or road transfer from Hoedspruit to Johannesburg or on to Cape Town. Your journey ends back at OR Tambo allowing for an easy connection to your return flight home.
