Cape Town - Manyeleti Game Reserve. Leaving the hotel after breakfast, you'll be transferred to the airport for your flight to Hoedspruit Airport (flight not included in tour cost).

On arrival, you'll be transferred to Honeyguide Mantobeni Camp, a luxury permanent tented camp in Manyeleti Game Reserve. Enjoy your lunch before embarking on your first game drive in the reserve. Manyeleti is an unfenced private reserve that forms part of the Greater Kruger ecosystem. It's home to all of the Big Five, and is one of the best places in South Africa for a safari.

The next three full days are spent uncovering the rich tapestry of life found in Manyeleti, with expertly guided morning and afternoon game drives each day. Spend free time spotting wildlife at the watering hole and relaxing by the infinity pool, where elephants come to drink each day! You can also enjoy Bush Walks (book and pay locally) and there's a newly built bird hide opposite a watering hole near the camp for any keen birdwatchers to enjoy. The camp is unfenced, so wildlife is free to wander around the site, which it often does! All of your meals are prepared for you at the camp, so you can concentrate on ticking the Big Five off your bucket list.

Enjoy your last game drive in the African wilderness (subject to flight departure times) before returning to camp for a scrumptious breakfast.

Check out and proceed to the foyer of the camp where you will be met by a local representative and transferred to Hoedspruit International Airport to be in time for your onward flight.
