Detailed Self Drive Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Mpumalanga Highlands

Clients are met upon arrival at Johannesburg International( O. R. Tambo) Airport by a representative of African Sky Safaris and Tours who presents them with their self drive tour itinerary, a map book of South Africa as well as a GPS on which a suggested route has been pre programmed. The locations of the suggested activities and places of interest we suggest in this itinerary are also logged in the GPS. At this time clients are also presented with accommodation and other relevant vouchers which they will require on their self drive tour.

The Representative spends an hour with guests going over the route and offering suggestions and advice. All members of the African Sky Team have years of experience in conducting tours and safaris in South and Southern Africa. He or she should be able to answer any questions clients might have regarding their self drive holiday.

Day 2: Mpumalanga Highlands
An early wake-up call by your guide is followed by a cup of coffee before we make our way to the northern part of the central Kruger National Park. The vegetation of this area is characterized by Mopani shrub. This plant is a favourite food source for the many Elephant in this part of Kruger and seeing these gracefull beasts in large numbers is a near certainty in this part of the Park. Letaba is reached around lunch time. We devote some time to relaxation before visiting the local Elephant Museum. The museum offers guests a unique insight into the behaviour and habits of these largest of Africas mammals. It is also home to the tusks of the "Magnificent Seven" (Largest Tuskers to have died in the Kruger National Park). Some time is then devoted to relaxation before embarking on a late afternoon game drive.
