Dependant on game sightings we arrive at The Outpost in the mid afternoon with time to enjoy the magnificent setting of the lodge, high above the Levubu River, before dinner. Overnight: THE OUTPOST

Day 5

A full day to enjoy this unspoilt region of Kruger. In the words of Rudyard Kipling "on the banks of the great, grey, green, greasy Limpopo River" A land of mystery and legends. We visit the Fever Tree Forest and "Crooks Corner", where 3 countries meet. The history of the Makuleke people also forms an important portion of this day, all while enjoying wonderful game viewing and magnificent birding. Truly, a day to be remembered!
