Lukimbi Safari Lodge is one of only seven private concessions in the Kruger National Park, South Africa. Experience a unique private safari with up to four game drives in this vast protected reserve where the Big Five and a wide variety of other animals and birds roam free in their natural habitat.

DAY 1 – May 29, 2025

Disembark the ship in Maputo where you will be met by a local English-speaking tour guide for a transfer to Lukimbi Safari Lodge in The Kruger National Park. The drive is approximately 3.5 hours. We recommend eating a good breakfast before you go.

NOTE: At the Mozambique/South Africa border post, guests will disembark and proceed through South African Immigration and customs control. Please ensure your passport has at least 2 blank pages for any stamps that may be issued by South African officials. Passports must be valid for at least 6 months after the entry date. If you require a Visa for South Africa it needs to be obtained in advance.

The Kruger National Park is South Africa’s largest game reserve. Nearly 2 million hectares of land that stretch for 352 kilometers (20 000 square kilometers) from north to south along the Mozambique border, is given over to an almost indescribable wildlife experience. Certainly, it ranks with the best in Africa and is the flagship of the country’s national parks - rated as the ultimate safari experience.

This is the land of baobabs, fever trees, knob thorns, marula and mopane trees underneath which lurk the Big Five (buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion and rhino), the Little Five (buffalo weaver, elephant shrew, leopard tortoise, ant lion and rhino beetle), the birding Big Six (ground hornbill, kori bustard, lappet-faced vulture, martial eagle, pel’s fishing owl and saddle-bill stork) and more species of mammals than in any other African Game Reserve. Kruger National Park is unrivalled in the diversity of its life forms and a world leader in advanced environmental management techniques and policies.

Upon arrival at Lukimbi check in and enjoy lunch followed by some free time to freshen up and explore your new surroundings.

The lodge is built out of natural materials which blend subtly into the surrounding environment of marula trees, sweetthorn acacias, knobthorns and bushwillows.

Every room and living space were designed around the view. Bright and richly textured natural fabrics, bold furniture chosen for comfort and artisanal crafted artworks encourage proper relaxation where you’re invited to make yourself completely at home – be that in the lounge, the bar, the dining room or one of the relaxation alcoves on the upper or lower deck, or in the library.

The pool area is a place of serenity, right on the bank of the Lwakahle River. It includes multi-leveled relaxation decks, with a pool overlooking the river.

Your Classic Suite will occupy its own elevated position overlooking the bush and has been designed to magnify the view. Private shaded decks, cathedral styled windows, floor-to-ceiling glass in front of great stone bathtubs, and open outdoor showers promise a chance to fully appreciate and be one with the wilderness. These suites include generous open space, 200 thread count linen, feather pillows (micro fibre pillows available on request), deluxe amenities and an in-room refreshment centre (including beverages and a selection of snacks).

Later in the day, gather at the main lodge for an exciting game drive in search of the Big 5 as well as numerous other animals. A Lukimbi safari is a unique take on a traditional Kruger National Park safari as their vehicles are permitted to traverse off-road under strictly controlled conditions. There are also no more than seven people allocated to an open shaded safari vehicle, which means that every passenger has a window seat.

After your game drive, return to the lodge for traditional cuisine around a roaring boma fire under the stars of the African sky.

DAY 2 – MAY 30, 2025

Enjoy phenomenal morning and afternoon game viewing opportunities.

Sunrise and sunset are very special on safari, in that they give the unique opportunity to pause, breathe and simply take in the beauty of the surroundings. Sip on an Amarula coffee or G&T as you witness the sun’s rise and fall in a glorious blaze of colors - no two are ever the same, and the impact is as powerful whether it’s your first or your hundredth time.

Guided river and bush walks may also be available to those who want their feet on the ground for a fresh perspective on an interactive walking safari.

Three meals are included along with local beverages.

DAY 3 – May 31, 2025

Enjoy one last game drive and a hearty breakfast before gathering your personal belongings and completing check-out formalities.

Bid the staff farewell before embarking on a road transfer (2.5 hours) to Nelspruit Airport for a flight to Durban.

On arrival at Durban’s King Shaka International Airport, you will be met by a local representative and transferred to the Durban harbor where the ship awaits your arrival.

Special Note: Any guests travelling with Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines should read further below for airline stipulations with regards to bringing this equipment on tour.

DAY 1 – May 31, 2025

Disembark the ship in Durban and meet a local representative for a transfer to King Shaka International Airport. Check-in and board a flight to Port Elizabeth.

On arrival at Port Elizabeth Airport, you will be met and transferred to Shamwari Private Game Reserve - The Pride of the Eastern Cape! Your journey will take approximately 1.5 hours.

Shamwari is the southernmost, big game, private reserve in Africa and it is malaria free. The 25,000-hectare game reserve is steeped in settler history, and dates back to the time when game roamed freely in the Eastern Cape. They are about conserving a vanishing way of life, and Shamwari has been awarded a number of international awards for its efforts in conservation coupled with tourism. In keeping with its conservation policy, Shamwari has a complete wildlife research team as well as its own anti-poaching unit, ensuring an ecological balance prevails on this reclaimed piece of wilderness.

Upon arriving at the reserve, check-in at Bayethe Tented Camp whose name comes from the African greeting, pronounced “By-ye-ti.” The English translation for this word is “I salute you” and is one of the warmest welcomes in the African culture in this area of the country. This tented paradise offers guests the opportunity to immerse themselves in utter tranquility, surrounded by the rich vegetation of this unique location that provides privacy and a feeling of seclusion with spectacular views of the African bush.

Your luxury tent has an indoor bath and either an indoor or outdoor shower. All suites have their own plunge pool and private minibar.

On arrival, guests will check in which is then followed by a delicious dinner.

Note that there are boarded walkways with a few steps here and there to get from the lodge to the tented suites.

DAY 2 – June 1, 2025

Hot and cold beverages will be waiting for you after your wake-up call and before you head out for an early morning game drive.

Head into the bush in an open-sided 4x4 vehicle, accompanied by knowledgeable rangers and trackers who are skilled at pointing out the various animals.

You may catch sight of zebras grazing in the grassland, massive hippos wallowing in the mud flats, or herds of antelopes gracefully bounding across the fields. Giraffes often come right up to the vehicles out of curiosity. If you are a bird-lover, you will delight in the chance to see raptors, water birds and unusual ant-eating chats probing the termite mounds. Of course, the Big Five (elephant, lion, leopard, rhinoceros, and Cape buffalo) always command attention and they are abundant.

Return to the lodge and enjoy breakfast and some free time. Perhaps take a nap or relax by the pool.

A leisurely lunch can be enjoyed at the lodge and later in the afternoon set off on another late afternoon game drive.

Dinner will be served on your return to the lodge.

DAY 3 – June 2, 2025

Following a morning game drive and breakfast at the lodge, check-out and bid the staff farewell as you make your way to Port Elizabeth harbor where the ship awaits.
