Kruger's heatbeat: Your gateway to the wild, a true safari sanctuary

From the moment you arrive at Bundox Safari Lodge, you can feel the outside world become more distant and muted, and the sound of Africa welcomes you to a place where time has no meaning...

On its own private sanctuary on the edge of Greater Kruger National Park, this is where pathways wind through a beautiful forest over low bridges, dappled by the light of the sun filtered through a million leaves. The lodge is spread out on either side of a small, seasonal stream where antelope and other wildlife species live, moving silently through this haven that begs you to come and explore.

Sparkling swimming pools beckon, and shady nooks and crannies offer space to sit back, relax, switch off, and unwind. Is this heaven? We think so!

Program

Day 1

Greetings! Welcome to the stunning South Africa!

Upon your arrival at Eastgate Airport in Hoedspruit, your guide will meet you in an open safari vehicle for a swift 20-minute transfer to Bundox Safari Lodge. A refreshing drink awaits you upon arrival, followed by a guided tour of your tent.

Take ample time to settle in and familiarize yourself with the lush forest-like surroundings. Later, indulge in a 60-minute spa treatment at Spa@Bundox.

Upon your return, take a moment to freshen up for pre-dinner drinks. Unwind by the fire in our open-air boma, sharing stories about life in the bush, before savoring a delightful three-course dinner in the restaurant.

Day 2

You’ll be up very early for the start of a full day of adventure in the legendary Kruger National Park! With fresh coffee and rusks in our reception area before departing before dawn for the 40-minute drive to the Orpen Gate in an open safari vehicle, you’ll also receive a packed breakfast to enjoy either en route or at a scenic spot in the park.

The world-renowned Kruger National Park is one of the highlights of South Africa. It’s home to a diversity of species including the fabled Big Five. The area you will traverse is one of the most game-rich regions of the park, renowned for its predator and elephant sightings.

You will stop at Satara Rest Camp restaurant for lunch (for your account) before continuing your explorations, arriving back at camp just before sunset with time to freshen up and enjoy pre-dinner drinks around the fire while reminiscing about the day’s amazing sightings before dinner is served.

Day 3

Indulge in a more leisurely morning! After a delightful breakfast, make your way to the picturesque Blyde Dam for a serene boat cruise, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the impressive Blyde Canyon and the iconic Three Rondavels. This canyon ranks as the world’s third-largest and is celebrated as the largest green canyon, thanks to its lush subtropical vegetation. Your cruise will be skillfully guided by an experienced tour guide, offering insights into the dam’s geological and natural wonders.

Upon your return to the lodge, take some personal time for lunch (at your own expense) and relaxation before your afternoon adventure begins. This extraordinary afternoon journey includes a guided game drive through a neighboring private reserve nestled within the renowned Greater Kruger National Park, known for its iconic Big 5 inhabitants.

Immerse yourself in the wild beauty of the African wilderness as expert guides lead you through this pristine landscape, providing a captivating wildlife experience. Witness the grandeur of the Big 5—lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, and rhinoceroses—in their natural habitat. As the day draws to a close, savor sundowners in the bush before returning to the lodge to freshen up for dinner.

Day 4

As your remarkable journey concludes, relish in another splendid sunrise in the African bush. Commence your day early with a refreshing coffee on a nature walk, soaking in the serene surroundings. Following breakfast, anticipate your collection for a seamless transfer back to Hoedspruit’s Eastgate Airport, marking the commencement of your onward journey.

Totweersiens (until we meet again)! Sala gabotse (remain in peace)! Bundox Safari Co. looks forward to the possibility of welcoming you again. Keep in mind that your journey with Bundox is an ongoing adventure—this is just the beginning. Safe travels!

Please contact Bundox Safari Co. should you wish to extend your stay to other areas of Botswana or South Africa.

Location

This safari takes place in the Greater Kruger region of South Africa.

South Africa

This vast country is undoubtedly one of the most culturally and geographically diverse places on earth. Fondly known by locals as the 'Rainbow Nation', South Africa has 11 official languages, and its multicultural inhabitants are influenced by a fascinating mix of cultures.

Discover the gourmet restaurants, impressive art scene, vibrant nightlife, and beautiful beaches of Cape Town; enjoy a local braai (barbecue) in the Soweto township; browse the bustling Indian markets in Durban; or sample some of the world’s finest wines at the myriad wine estates dotting the Cape Winelands.

Some historical attractions to explore include the Zululand battlefields of KwaZulu-Natal, the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg and Robben Island, just off the coast of Cape Town. Above all else, its remarkably untamed wilderness with its astonishing range of wildlife roaming freely across massive unfenced game reserves such as the world-famous Kruger National Park. With all of this variety on offer, it is little wonder that South Africa has fast become Africa’s most popular tourist destination.
