Greater Kruger and Zululand safari in 14 days (13 nights)
Every night of this route is spent in a reserve or park. It starts with three nights in Sabi Sand on the Kruger boundary, then moves by road to the neighbouring Timbavati reserve for three more. A flight from the Hoedspruit area to KwaZulu-Natal leads to four nights in iSimangaliso Wetland Park, where boat trips and the coast add variety to the game drives. The route ends with three nights at Phinda, a private reserve nearby. There are only three moves in thirteen nights.
