Ultimate Kruger & Sabi Sand Fly-In Safari
All-Inclusive Big Five Combination with Return Flights from Johannesburg
Overview
One booking, two of the greatest wildlife areas in Africa, and every flight, drive, meal and park fee already settled before you leave home. This six-day fly-in journey pairs the open plains of the Kruger National Park with the private luxury of the Sabi Sand, and wraps the whole trip in return light-aircraft flights from Johannesburg. You land at O.R. Tambo, connect to a short scenic flight into the Lowveld, and within hours you are on your first game drive. No long transfer roads, no hidden extras, no separate quotes for transport.
The first half of the safari is spent in the Kruger National Park itself, two million hectares of classic African bush where lion, elephant and buffalo roam the same river systems they have followed for centuries. The second half moves to the Sabi Sand, the private reserve that shares an open boundary with the Kruger and permits off-road tracking, night drives and walking safaris. You see the park every traveller dreams of, then the exclusive side only a private concession can give, under the care of your own ranger-and-tracker team throughout.
Who It's For
Made for travellers who want the complete South African safari in a single all-inclusive package: the famous Kruger National Park and the private Sabi Sand, plus the flights that connect them. Ideal for couples, honeymooners, photographers and first-time visitors who would rather book one price and leave the logistics to us. If you have been comparing all-inclusive African safari packages with flights, this is our definitive version of that trip.

Your host meets you at O.R. Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg and walks you to your scenic light-aircraft flight into the Kruger Lowveld. A ranger collects you at the airstrip with a cold drink and transfers you to your lodge inside the park. After a relaxed lunch and time to settle in, your first afternoon game drive rolls out along the riverine bush, with a sundowner stop as the light turns gold.
