Day 1 — Arrival & First Game Drive
Arrival and check-in by 7:00 AM at Idube Game Lodge in the heart of the Sabi Sand. After a welcome breakfast and time to settle in, set out on your first afternoon open-vehicle game drive in one of Africa's premier Big Five reserves, famed for its exceptional leopard sightings. Return for sundowners and dinner beneath the African sky.
Day 2 — Bush Walk, Game Drive & Spa Day
Begin with an early game drive, then set out on foot with an armed ranger for a guided bush walk — tracking game and discovering the smaller details of the wild that drives pass by. In the afternoon, surrender to an in-suite spa treatment overlooking the bushveld, before a chef-prepared dinner under the stars at the lodge. (Game drive, bush walk, spa treatment and all meals included.)
Day 3 — Sunrise Balloon, Grand Lunch & Departure
Rise before dawn and drift silently over the reserve in a hot-air balloon as the bush wakes below you, touching down to a champagne bush breakfast in the open air. Enjoy a final morning at leisure, then gather for a grand farewell lunch with drinks. Guests check out and depart at 4:00 PM. (Balloon safari weather-dependent; breakfast, transfers and refreshments included.)
