The tour begins with an early departure from Durban as you travel north into Zululand. The scenery shifts from rolling green hills and sugarcane plantations to the rugged landscapes of the bush. Your destination is the legendary Hluhluwe–Imfolozi Park, one of the oldest proclaimed game reserves in Africa and home to the famous Big Five. On arrival, set off on a three-hour guided safari drive, where you’ll track elephants, watch giraffes browsing treetops, and, with luck, see rhinos or even a pride of lions resting in the shade.

After the game safari, take a lunch break. Then travel to St Lucia in Isimangaliso for the night.
