5 DAY JOHANNESBURG PRIVATE GAME RESERVE SAFARI


Day 1

​

Your first day is spent at the Safari Club Lodge where you have a chance to relax round the pool or enjoy time identifying the many birds that frequent the beautiful gardens, large trees, lush vegetation and foliage make for great birding in the Safari Club grounds which are often described as an oasis in the airport precinct. 
 
Day 2

​

After breakfast you transfer to Mongena Private Game Reserve for the next 3 nights/4 days which is a 2 hour drive.
 
You are transferred from the reception after checking into Little Mongena in an open vehicle. Little Mongena is a 10-tent luxury tented camp on the banks of the Mongena dam.
 
Welcome drink and a briefing with your safari guide give you time to take in the beauty.
 
After a light lunch you will head out in an open vehicle with your guide to start the first game drive of your safari, this drive usually extends into the evening and stopping to see the sun set with an ice cold liquid refreshment will give you photographic opportunities of an African sunset that you will cherish forever.
 
Dinner is served either round the fire pit or in the restaurant overlooking the dam.
Keep your camera handy.
 
Day 3 

​

This morning starts very early with coffee or tea and then out on game drive before sunrise.
 
Brunch is served when you return from your bush experience.
 
This afternoon will take the form of either a game drive or a game walk getting up close to some of the wildlife in the reserve. This is also an ideal time for your guide to explain about trees and scrubs as well as the small 5 and many other bugs and insects that inhabit our safari space.
 
Dinner is served when you return from your activity.
 
Day 4 

​

Another early rise preparing for your morning safari activity with your professional safari guide.
 
Brunch is served back at camp giving you time to relax before leaving on an afternoon boat trip on the dam. Viewing game on the shores of the dam from your boat while enjoying a sundowner is a memory that is unlikely to leave you long after you return home.
 
Day 5

​

All good things have to end but not before experiencing your last game drive hopefully to capture another sighting that you will add to your already full memory card.
 
Brunch is served back at camp before saying goodbye to the camp staff and heading out either to your next destination or to the airport.
