Your private tour guide will collect you at the cruise ship and transport you in an air-conditioned tour vehicle, the 1-hour drive to the Hluhluwe Big 5 Game Reserve. Upon arrival at the Reserve, you jump onto open drive safari vehicles and do a 4-hour game drive, ticking off common species such as zebra, antelope, girraffe and warthog.
The bigger game is also prevelant and elephant, rhino and buffalo are most often seen. There are also a range of big predators to 'hunt' for, lion, leopard, wild dog and hyena are present. Midway through the drive we have a wonderful stop in nature for a snack lunch and some refreshments. A quick moment to take in the glory and tranquility of the raw wilderness.
It is then back to the gate and a transfer back to catch your ship.
This trip originates in Richards Bay Port. We meet passengers off their cruise ship right at the Berth.
