DETAILED ITINERARY:

DAY 1 - DAY 4   SAFARI - KRUGER

On arrival in Johannesburg you will be met by a “Kosher Wildlife Experience” representative who will guide you to the domestic terminal where you will take your flight to Hoedspruit where I will meet you and then drive you to Monwana Lodge in the Thornybush Game Reserve adjacent to Kruger Park.

After lunch you will go on your first Game Drive.

You will be introduced to wildlife and nature, as you have never experienced before. We enter the African bush in open land rovers in search of the "Big Five": Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Rhino and Buffalo, together with an abundance of other game.
 
Our experienced game rangers, trained in understanding Africa's mysteries, will show you the secrets of the bush by day and by night.

The lodges we use are some of the most luxurious; the cuisine is first class and Glatt Kosher. The rooms are lavishly done without detracting from their African touch.

It can only be described as a private retreat of the utmost peace and tranquillity, set in a wonderland of adventure - the heart of the African bush

We return to the lodge for a dinner under the stars.

Daily Schedule at Monwana:

Pre-dawn wake up for tea and coffee before departing on the morning game drive. An experienced ranger and tracker, with extensive knowledge of the area, will read the previous night's tracks and lead you to where the excitement is, for instance tracking the big five. Game drives are on an open Land Rover, which will ensure the best possible game viewing experience.

A full brunch is served on return, followed by a midday siesta, a refreshing swim or waiting for the game to quench their thirst at the waterhole.

High tea is served in the afternoon followed by another exciting game drive. A sundowner drink compliments the African sunset leading to the night drive. Night time brings out the predators and many other nocturnal animals. Spotting nightlife or hearing a lion roar in the distance is an exhilarating experience.

Return to camp to freshen up and enjoy a drink with you ranger and hostess to discuss the day's sightings. A three course dinner concludes the day.

Weather permitting; one can enjoy a typical South African braai on our deck over-looking the Monwana riverbed. This is the ideal South African way of relaxing around a cosy fire with the sounds of the African nightlife in the distance.
