Big Five country is closer to Cape Town than most visitors think. Malaria-free Karoo reserves for a day or a night, Addo on the Garden Route, and Kruger for those heading north.
Lidwala started in Mpumalanga, a short drive from the Kruger gates. We know what a good game drive feels like, and we bring that to every safari we book from Cape Town.
The Karoo reserves sit roughly two to three hours from the city, out through the Huguenot Tunnel and the mountains beyond.
An early collection, the drive through the Hex River mountains, a game drive in a private Big Five reserve such as Aquila, lunch at the lodge and an afternoon return to Cape Town.
Afternoon and morning game drives with a night at the lodge in between: the better way to see the Big Five, and the stars over the Karoo.
The drive through the mountain passes to the Ceres Karoo for a game drive at Inverdoorn, known for its cheetah conservation work.
For travellers with more time, or heading north after the Cape.
One of the densest elephant populations in Africa, reached along the Garden Route or as a short flight to Gqeberha with Lidwala connecting the dots.
Full-day, morning and afternoon game drives in Kruger, shared or exclusive hire, with transfers from Skukuza, Kruger Mpumalanga International or Hoedspruit, run by the Lidwala team in Mpumalanga.
God's Window, Bourke's Luck Potholes, the Three Rondavels and the Blyde River Canyon, paired with your Kruger days.
