Flywire’s recent survey of the luxury travel industry stated that travellers are looking to travel with a trusted provider who will take care of all their needs, offer personal attention, and, above all, provide time for them to reset and reconnect with nature.
We believe that our customised, small group tours are exactly what the luxury traveller is looking for in 2026 and beyond.
Our customised safari tour is unique in that although it is not a retreat, it is designed to make you come away with the retreat experience.
Imagine an early morning yoga flow session before a healthy breakfast overlooking the bush. Then spend the rest of the morning relaxing by the pool.
After lunch, we head out to a jewellery making workshop to learn more about poaching, conservation and the collection of snare wires, which guests will turn into bracelets to take home as a reminder of their time in the bush. Dinner is at the lodge.
After an early breakfast, we head out to the Blyde Canyon for a boat cruise on the Blydepoort dam, returning to the lodge for a relaxing somatic yoga session to take you to lunch. The afternoon is reserved for lounging by the pool at the lodge or a bush walk in the wilderness area of Hoedspruit Wildlife Estate.
The next three days are dedicated to game viewing in the world-famous Kruger National Park, where you will experience the thrill of game encounters in an open game drive vehicle, all led by experienced guides.
To end off your tour, you will spend 2 nights in White River, another scenic town alongside the Kruger National Park, enjoying time for spa treatments, lounging by the pool and exploring the scenic Panorama route.
The Wildlife and Wellness Safari is a 7-night, 8-day itinerary that takes care of all your needs, offering luxury accommodation, delicious and healthy meals and includes all the above-mentioned activities. Click here for more info on departure dates and prices
