April to end of October
SABI SAND GAME RESERVE
After a personalised welcome at Johannesburg airport, you will take a flight to Kruger Park.
A family-owned property for four generations dating back to the early 20th century, Lion Sands has two luxury lodges along the banks of the Sabie River, within the Sabi Sand reserve.
Lion Sands River Lodge is the larger and more relaxed of the two lodges. It offers 18 suites, linked by wooden walkways that follow the course of the river.
With an exotic cuisine built around local game — alongside international dishes for the less adventurous — Lion Sands River Lodge serves meals in an intimate dining room or outdoors in the bush, around a fire. The lodge also has a large pool surrounded by a viewing deck overlooking the river, an open-air lounge, and a health and wellness centre, all set within a total luxury that makes the experience of the place unforgettable.
3-night stay (or 4 nights, subject to availability of the special offer: 1 night free for 3 paid nights).
If you are dreaming of an even more intimate, luxurious, elegant and contemporary address, Lion Sands Ivory Lodge will be the ideal place.
Set on the banks of the Sabie River, Ivory Lodge embodies romance and offers six superb villas, each with its own infinity pool right on the water.
The ultimate in luxury!
MARAKELE NATIONAL PARK
Final morning safari at Sabi Sand, then a direct flight to Marakele, in the far north of the Waterberg.
Marataba is set within one of South Africa’s most striking landscapes, with dramatic mountains in the backdrop that give your stay an entirely different dimension. The lodge stands within Marakele National Park, in the 23,000-hectare private concession where it is, at present, the only lodge operating.
Each suite has its own private terrace with a sweeping view: a river in the foreground, a waterhole that draws in the animals, and, further off, imposing mountains you will never tire of admiring. Meals are taken in the dining room, on the grass, on the terrace, out on the savannah — depending on the weather, the season, the mood.
A dining room, pool and spa are available at Marataba Safari Lodge.
3-night stay (or 4 nights, subject to availability of the special offer: 1 night free for 3 paid nights).
One final safari in Marakele National Park before flying back to Johannesburg.
You will arrive in Johannesburg in the afternoon in time to check in for your international flight back to France.
