Sublime Africa
SYNONOMOUS with nature conservation and a true Big Five African Safari is the Kruger National Park and the adjoining private lodges which make up the Sabi Sands Game Reserve. A short flight from Johannesburg takes the traveler to South Africa's Lowveld (lowland) region, where hot days blend into warm evenings, campfires glow and the sights and sounds of Africa are at their sublime best.
Here, from the luxurious splendor of a fine lodge, the visitor can renew their contact with the earth, through encounters with a myriad of great game or merely through watching the fascinating dung beetle at work, or listening to the cicadas and the million other sounds of the bushveld. Or watching the sun rise. And set again.
Or taking in the magnificent vistas and panoramas; or watching the gracious sweep of the bateleur eagle, or looking for the tell-tale circling of vultures; or listening to the grunts, growls and howls of the African night.
While above, a swathe of stars across the sky, reminds one that this is the southern hemisphere, and the pulse of the earth's rhythm brings one home to the cradle of mankind - Africa.
Try not to leave this part of Southern Africa off your itinerary!
