November 13, 2021 – Private Touring of Johannesburg

Johannesburg, affectionately called Jo’burg, Jozi, and E’Goli, the “city of gold,” is the financial and industrial metropolis of South Africa, built on a rich history of gold mining. The city is rapidly evolving from an edgy safari stopover to a vibrant hub for arts and culture. Cutting-edge contemporary galleries and the new Maboneng Precinct, with its funky restaurants, cafes, and art studios, now rank among the city’s top tourist attractions along with the poignant Apartheid Museum and Constitution Hill. Additionally, stroll the bustling shanty towns of Soweto with your guide (the birthplace of the nation’s struggle for democracy) or explore the UNESCO-listed Cradle of Humankind, one of the richest paleoanthropological sites in the world.

November 14, 2021 – After breakfast, check-out and transfer to the Lanseria Airport – Angel Gabriel Private Hangar for your journey to Botswana.

November 14-18, 2021 – Safari at Mashatu

Within a unique wildlife area in Botswana, host to some of the finest predator viewing on the continent, this new eco-camp is set to leave a lasting impression. Mashatu Euphorbia Villas is the new flagship camp of the Northern Tuli Game Reserve and is situated in the privately owned, Mashatu Game Reserve. This breath-taking hideaway is tucked away within a euphorbia forest, high up on a cliff face, which opens to reveal exquisite vistas overlooking the Majale River and endless, rolling plains below.

Mashatu Euphorbia Villas is an intimate composition of 8 “green” villas, combining luxury with conservation and sustainability. With 92% rain-free days per annum at Mashatu, solar energy is utilised, along with state-of-the-art water treatment and recycling systems, creating a refuge, run on renewable and non-invasive resources.

One of the unique characteristics of Mashatu is to be able to engage with the wildlife in other ways in addition to the traditional safari vehicle game drives. Experience Mashatu on a mountain bike, on foot, on horseback, or in one of the underground photographic hides that let you taste the real essence of Africa. These adventures are optional, additional and very popular so we do recommend pre-booking.

November 18, 2021 – Check-out of Mashatu and transfer to Limpopo Valley Airfield.  Your light aircraft flight returns to Pretoria, where you can connect on-ward to Cape Town or your on-ward travels.
