Itinerary 2 - Mpumalanga

September 1 -- Arrive in Johannesburg to be greeted by a Prowler Safari representative. Once the group is collected we will transfer to De Wildt Cheetah and Wildlife Centre. Spend this evening in DeWildt's private Guest Lodge and enjoy what is likely to be one of the best meals of your life and get some much needed rest and a nice shower/bath to recover from your long flight to Africa!

September 2 -- Enjoy a scrumptious breakfast before a tour of DeWildt's breeding and research facility. This tour offers a wonderful insight to the world of not only the cheetah, but the endangered wild dog, brown hyaena, serval, suni antelope, blue and red duiker, bontebok, riverine rabbit and vultures -- including the very rare Egyptian vulture. You will walk away knowing you are helping and will be more educated on the importance of the conservation efforts facilities like these are making on your behalf.

Hannah -- A Gift from God lies amongst the gently rolling hills of the Southern African Escarpment. This beautiful Private Nature Reserve embraces more than 8,000 hectares of Malaria -- free, unspoiled African Bushveld. Hannah is a reflection of Africa in its entire natural splendor, a captivating tapestry of African sounds, smells and colors. The rising sun showers the valley with shades of pink, red and orange. Here the visitors experience a rare sense of freedom and renewed inspiration. Continuously and without compromise, we will always strive to deliver a natural and magical experience that can be savored and remembered.

September 3 through 5 -- Kruger National Park -- Lower Sabie

Skukuza -- The restcamp is some 35 km from Crocodile Bridge, situated on the banks of the game-rich Sabie River in the southern part of the Kruger National Park, with excellent sundowner viewing.

Due to the abundant foliage and waterholes in the area, game abounds here. There are various excellent drives in this area, especially the one flanking the river's south bank, and lions are quite common in this area, usually under trees and bushes in the heat of the day, but early morning and late afternoon drives should lead to various sightings.

Satara -- Enjoy sitting on the verandah of your hut at night, encircled by flickering campfires and listening to the king of beasts roar his presence, is a never-to-be-forgotten experience at Kruger National Park in South Africa.

September 6 through 9 -- Ngala Walking Safari

Nothing can compare to experiencing the incredible natural beauty of Ngala Private Game Reserve on foot. Each day, enjoy a three-to-five-hour morning walk tracking rhino, elephant bulls and buffalo herds, as well as learning how to identify tracks, insects and a variety of birds. Discover more about Ngala's habitats and ecology as you walk through the African bushveld. In the evening, guests may choose to enjoy a pre-sunset walk or to embark on an exhilarating night game-drive searching for Ngala's big cats.

Whether observing a herd of elephants from a safe distance, tracking rhino or examining spiders, ant lions and dung beetles, the excitement is never far off. Dramatic night game-drives reveal the thrilling world of predators on the hunt.

September 10 through 12 -- Kirkman's -- Overlooking the Sand River, Kirkman's Camp has spectacular views of the unspoiled wilderness as far as the eye can see. Kirkman's Camp is a historic and famous camp which was originally built in the early 1920's. The colonial atmosphere of gracious style and luxury has been retained, and one steps back in time upon entering the old homestead, which now serves as the recreational hub of the camp. The large lounge, decorated in 1920 style, leads through double French doors onto rolling lawns that provide a velvety contrast to the wild and tumbling bush surrounding the camp.

Food, wine and safari...

September 12 -- After a morning drive and breakfast you have will say your good-byes to the magic of the South African Bush and head back to the Johannesburg to catch your flight home.
