Upon your arrival in Johannesburg you will be met at the airport by one of our representatives and taken to the luxurious Afton Guest House for the evening. You will dine at one of Johannesburg's finer restaurants before retiring to the estate for the remainder of the evening. You will have the opportunity to get to know your guide for the next ten days this evening. The 2011 safaris are hosted by Stephen Meidahl.


Day 1) Depart for Kruger National Park early in the morning, the world's most famous and oldest national wildlife park (which is the size of Massachusetts), where two nights will be spent in a bush camp. This is SAFARI TIME, with game drives giving you the opportunity to see elephant, lion, rhino and other prolific game species.

Days 2-3) Kruger National Park. You will spend the morning viewing game with a personal guide. You will be taken deep into the bush away from the more travelled areas to witness game in it's natural habitat and be presented with opportunities to photograph Africa's wildlife undisturbed. The evening game drives will present you with the opportunity to photograph the breathtaking African sunset along with the wildlife gathering by the waterholes for the days last drink. The camps within Kruger are large enough to allow you to roam freely and offer many photo opportunities in themselves.

Days 4-5) Depart for Swaziland. This is a three hour drive which will take you through Swaziland arriving early in the afternoon. Swaziland is mostly mountainous and surrounded by the country of South Africa and bordered by Mozambique. This mountainous region is home to several national parks as well as the Zulu people. The Zulu people have embraced their heritage and you can feel free in visiting the villages comprised of colorful rondavels and getting to know the always smiling Zulu people. The numerous national game parks in this area will provide you the opportunity to photograph over 650 species of birdlife as well as the endangered White Rhino.

Days 6-8) Spend these three days in the luxurious Pongola Game Preserve on the Pongola River which separates Mozambique from South Africa. This is one of the most luxurious lodges located in the remote area of North East South Africa. While here you will have the opportunity to photograph a large array of wildlife while taking guided walks as well as while travelling by houseboat on the river.

Days 9-10) Travel to the Hluhluwe-Umfolozi Game preserve and spend the next two days witnessing some of Africa's most pristine scenery as well as the abundant wildlife located in these remote national parks. On your way back to Durban from here you will have ample opportunity to experience the Zulu culture by spending time in a Zulu village.

Day 11) On this day you will be delivered to the Durban airport for your return trip home.
