DAY 1: ( Half Day Game Drive )
Departing Durban at 06h30 am we head towards the beautiful coastline of the Dolphin coast to catch sight of the sea and the early morning sun. We eventually cross over the Tugela River which used be the border between what was known as Natal and Zululand. Passing through rural villages and historical sights we will arrive at the town called Mtubatuba where you will be transferred to our open 4x4 Game vehicle.
Now you head off to do a Half Day Game Drive at the Hluhluwe/Imfolozi Game Reserve, one of the oldest proclaimed Reserves in Africa. Home of the Big 5, Giraffe, Rhinos, Wild Dogs, Hyenas, various Antelopes and many other varieties of animals and an excellent array of Birds. Lunch at some scenic spot within the Reserve and then continue to search for Wildlife till the early Afternoon. Departing the Game Reserve we now head for St. Lucia, about a Hour's drive where you will check in at your accommodation, freshen up and enjoy Dinner and a good night's rest.
DAY 2: ( Boat Cruise, Craft Market & Cheetah/Rare Cats )
Enjoy a relaxed Breakfast and at 10h00AM do a Boat Cruise for 2 hours to view family pods of Hippopotamus, the elusive Nile Crocodiles, abundant Bird life with clear view of the Gaint Fish Eagles, Goliath Herons and many types of Kingfishers. Ideal opportunity for some great photos of the above and the Mangroves and natural vegetation of this pristine place.
Enjoy Lunch and a short rest then off to an excellent African Craft Market situated about a hour's drive away. Thereafter we proceed to do the Cheetah and Rare Cats viewing and feeding program which is an excellent opportunity to get very close to some extremely rare and shy Cats that one does not normally get a chance to see in the Game Reserve. We then head back to St. Lucia arriving around 18h15. Freshen up and enjoy Dinner and Accommodation ensuring an early night in preparation for a very early start tomorrow.
DAY 3: ( FULL DAY GAME DRIVE )
A very early start around 05h15 am in time to catch up with all the elusive animals and hopefully a glimpse of the animals that have not yet been seen during the first day. Following the territorial routes of the cats and using your newly acquired game tracking skills we search out animals such as Lion, Elephant, Black Rhino, Cheetah and Leopard and our day concentrates on finding one or hopefully all of the Great Cats. Enjoy Breakfast and Lunch in the Game Reserve. Continue searching for various Wildlife and then we return to Durban arriving at approximately 18h30 pm in the evening.
