For the final 3-day safari leg of this comprehensive Premier Africa tour package, guests will be residing at Lion Sands River Lodge in the renowned Sabi Sands Game Reserve bordering the Kruger National Park, South Africa.

From the reserve guests gain access to some of the highest concentrations of wildlife diversity the southern hemisphere has to offer, while Sabi Sands provides top-class private safaris guided by highly experienced rangers rich in historical, cultural, and wildlife expertise.

Outdoor game drives are typically scheduled in the early mornings or in the evenings, with vehicles arranged for both comfort or photography requests.

For added confidence and peace of mind, first time guests are also given clear briefings at each key stage of the tour, and ample rest time is always given between excursions.

In addition, a convenient laundry service is provided on arrival, allowing for much lighter packing when venturing out into the bush.

When touring South Africa, each season offers unique sightseeing experiences, with specific options becoming either more or less available depending on when one decides to visit.

For instance, the mid-year winter season is typically considered the best time of year for peak game viewing due to more temperate weather conditions for active wildlife and the crisp light ideal for photography. Along the coastline, whale season also occurs during this season, so detours are readily available for those anticipated sightings.

Alternatively, the warmer summer months in the Cape bring longer days and more temperate weather, perfect for those hoping for more time spent along the coast to take in the incredible coastal scenery and nature reserves, as well as the many aquatic outdoor activities that become available.

Understandably, annual school holidays and major events may also affect availability and rates for certain activities, so these are checked in advance before space is reserved for travellers.

South Africa’s visa requirements have been made simpler for many nationalities, with visa-exempt stays for many international passports, including European, UK, US, Canada, Australia, as well as some Latin American and African countries. It is still advisable, however, to check your specific passport’s status (visa-exempt vs visa-required) and the allowable stay length before booking.

Additional Health and malaria notes will be shared depending on the final lodge accommodations chosen.

When travelling to and around SA, utilizing soft-sided suitcases, duffels, and backpacks can be of great help, particularly on safari flights with stricter weight limits, as they typically weigh less than hard-shell cases and allow for more flexible packing with easier expansion / compression features.

For practicality and convenience, detailed guidance will be shared with you regarding the correct power adaptors for devices, as well as eSIM / mobile connectivity options for South Africa before your departure.

Tipping guidelines are also provided by service to help you budget accordingly.

Meals and wine are thoughtfully curated and largely included in the tour package, with daily breakfast and scheduled lunches timed around golf tee times, sightseeing, or game drives.

Premier Africa pre-reserves eight standout dining experiences across Cape Town, the Garden Route, and the bush, leaving select evenings open, so guests can explore or relax at their leisure.

Travelers will share their dietary requirements once before travel to allow our hosts, destination guides, and lodges to coordinate seamlessly across the journey in order to accommodate for any allergens, or personal preferences.

In the Cape Winelands, curated tastings may be arranged with expert local hosts on request, or integrated into a private Winelands day tour.
