take place in one of the Kruger Park’s vehicles with a Park’s ranger. This is
not a private game drive and there may be other guests on this drive. (Families
with children under 12 years of age are required to book a private open vehicle
for all game drives and will thus have a private game drive instead of the SANP
sunset drive.)

to bring along additional / alternative drinks which can be purchased at the
shop.

opening times) you have tea or coffee & a light snack before setting off on
the morning safari which will take approximately 3-4 hours. Your guide has an
intimate knowledge of the park, which contributes a great deal towards
brilliant sightings!

bought at the ticketing office at the mountain and the hotel concierge can
arrange a cab to take you there. The cable way return ticket price is currently
R225 – R250 per adult (see http://www.tablemountain.net/content/page/rates).

Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. The Garden is one of eight National Botanical
Gardens covering five of South Africa’s six different biomes. When
