UNDERSTANDING THE SIGNIFICANCE OF
A SAFARI AT KRUGER NATIONAL PARK...

If you want the highest number of big mammal species in a single location, the answer is the region of Kruger National Park in South Africa.While many parks claim the highest “density” (animals per square mile), Kruger holds the crown for biodiversity. It is home to 147 species of mammals, which is more than any other game reserve in world. Kruger’s massive size (a region about the size of Israel) and its variety of ecosystems—ranging from savannah and woodlands to riverine forests—allow it to support a staggering variety of life. It is one of the few places on Earth where you can reliably see the “Big Five” (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino) in a single day. Beyond the famous heavyweights, Kruger is a stronghold for rare species like the African Wild Dog, Cheetah, and Sable Antelope. Because the park has an extensive network of roads and established camps, it is excellent for spotting smaller, nocturnal mammals like civets, genets, and honey badgers. And this special Happening Travel Club allows you to UNPACK ONCE while on safari. Then many days on safari will dramatically increase the wildlife experience for the best safari experience in Africa.

ABOUT KARONGWE AT KRUGER...

Karongwe, meaning the place of meeting, is where six rivers converge in one of Africa’s most celebrated safari landscapes. Here, at the foot of the Drakensberg mountains, water gathers life, wildlife roams freely, people and stories intertwine, and every moment is alive with meaning.The Karongwe Game Reserve at Kruger is one of the best locations in Africa.

INTERNATIONAL AIR IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE TRAVEL CLUB TRIP AND HERE IS WHY...

Most of our Travel Club members wish to handle their own air reservations. This is because airlines have so many various offers on choice of flights, seat assignment at time of booking, baggage inclusions, boarding order, layover and connection times and issues related to change fees. Also, if you have any emergency issues before or during your travel our members should be in control of their own tickets and emergency needs. As a result it is counterproductive to have a third party involved in your air ticket. The Travel Club recommends you do not purchase your airline ticket earlier than 120 days prior to departure and that you can use a tracking tool (like google or kayak to follow air flight costs and the absolute best choices for your air.)

Trip Features

About Shiduli Safari Lodge

ABOUT SHIDULI SAFARI LODGE:
Your Deluxe (4 star) hotel upgrade for Johannesburg and Cape Town will also include the Shiduli Safari Lodge at Kruger National Park. Located within the Karongwe Private Game Reserve, a 22,000-acre protected area at Kruger. Shiduli is famous for its “home-away-from-home” feel and exceptional wildlife tracking. Here is why it’s a standout choice for a 5-day stay:

EXCEPTIONAL WILDLIFE SIGHTINGS: Shiduli isn’t just about seeing the Big Five; it’s about how you see them. Because it’s a private reserve and unlike other parts of Kruger Park, rangers here can drive off-road to follow a leopard into the brush or get you closer to a lion pride. Every drive includes both a ranger (driver) and a Shangaan tracker seated on the front of the vehicle. This duo is incredibly effective at finding elusive cats like leopards and cheetahs. They have a strict policy of only 2–3 vehicles per sighting, so you’ll never feel like you’re in a “traffic jam” around an animal.

DRAMATIC BACKDROPS: Most safari lodges are on flat savannah. Shiduli sits against the dramatic backdrop of the northern Drakensberg Mountains. The visual of an elephant or giraffe silhouetted against these jagged peaks is one of the most iconic views in Africa.

5 DAYS IS THE “SWEET SPOT”: A 3-day safari can feel rushed. A 5-day stay at Shiduli allows you to settle into the “Safari Rhythm” without burning out. Beyond the standard morning and evening game drives, Shiduli offers bush walks (additional cost), bird watching (over 350 species), and a high-end pool and spa for the midday heat. Because of its location, you can use one of your middle days to take a day trip to the Panorama Route (God’s Window and Blyde River Canyon) or the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre, which are both nearby.

THE “BIG FIVE” GUARANTEE (ALMOST): Generally, there are two game drives per day (morning & late afternoon/evening). Therefore, your chances of seeing all the Big Five—plus rarer animals like Cheetahs and Wild Dogs—jump to nearly 100%.

ATMOSPHERE AND AMENITIES OF SHIDULI SAFARI LODGE: Shiduli is “special” because it balances high-end wildlife viewing with a warm, unpretentious atmosphere. It’s perfect for someone who wants the full “Private Game Reserve” experience..Shiduli Safari Lodge is designed to feel like an authentic African manor—warm, thatched, and tucked away in lush, shaded gardens. Because it’s a mid-sized lodge it strikes a nice balance between being social and feeling private. The lodge features a massive pool. The hotel has the most modern features to make your stay comfortable and wonderful.

…..The Rooms: “Earthy African Comfort”
The rooms are spacious and decorated in rich, earthy tones. They focus on traditional safari charm. Standard luxury suites are air-conditioned and feature high thatched ceilings, king-sized beds (or twins), and en-suite bathrooms. A major plus is that they have deep soaking tubs and rainfall showers—perfect for a long soak after a dusty game drive. Every room has a mini-fridge, tea/coffee making facilities, mosquito nets, and a private patio that overlooks the gardens or the bush.

…..The Dining: “A Celebration of Community”
Dining at Shiduli is a major part of the experience. It’s not just about the food; it’s about the setting. The Happening Travel Club will feature The Boma (The Highlight) On clear nights, dinner is served in the “Boma”—an outdoor, circular enclosure with a massive central fire. You eat under the stars, surrounded by lanterns and the sounds of the bush. This is usually where you’ll find Pan-African buffets with grilled meats (braai), traditional stews, and vibrant salads. Dining with Rangers: It’s a tradition at Shiduli for the rangers to join guests for dinner. This is the best time to ask those questions about the lions or leopards you saw earlier in the day.

…..The Daily Food Rhythm Of The Happening Travel Club Experience At Shiduli And Safari:

Early Morning: Coffee and “rusks” (traditional hard biscuits) before you head out at dawn.

Breakfast/Brunch: A huge spread served on the deck after your morning drive.

High Tea: Served in the late afternoon before your second game drive—expect savory snacks, cakes, and iced tea.

Sundowners: During your evening drive, your ranger will stop in the bush for drinks and snacks while the sun sets.

Dinner: Either in the Boma or the indoor thatched dining area, depending on the weather.

Dietary Needs: They are very accommodating of vegetarians, vegans, and gluten-free guests, but because of their remote location, you must let the Happening Travel Club know in advance so they can stock the specific ingredients.

One Small Warning… Do You Really Want Breakfast With An Elephant?: While the gardens are beautiful and keep the lodge cool, they are “wild” gardens. It is not uncommon to see monkeys, bushbucks, or even the occasional elephant wandering near the perimeter fence. It adds to the magic, but it means you should never leave food out on your patio!

WEATHER

WHAT WEATHER WILL BE LIKE ON SAFARI:
Late August in Kruger National Park marks the transition from the dry winter season into spring. Around August 30, you can expect clear skies and excellent conditions for wildlife viewing, though the landscape will be quite dry and dusty.

Temperature & Conditions: In late August, the weather is characterized by a significant temperature swing between day and night: Daytime: Pleasantly warm with average highs reaching 28°C (82°F). Night/Early Morning: Chilly to cold, with lows often dropping to 12°C (54°F).

Rainfall: Minimal. August is one of the driest months, with almost no chance of rain.

What to Expect Wildlife Visibility: This is one of the best times for a safari. Because water is scarce, animals congregate in large numbers around permanent watering holes, and the sparse vegetation makes them much easier to spot.

Packing Essentials: You’ll need a “layered” strategy. Heavy jackets, beanies, and scarves are essential for those early morning and late afternoon open-vehicle game drives. By midday, you’ll likely want to switch to light, breathable clothing.

Atmosphere: Expect dry, breezy conditions. Since it is the height of the dry season, the bush will look brown rather than green.

AIR & TRANSFERS JOHANNESBURG TO CAPE TOWN

You can arrange your own domestic airfare in South Africa. If You would like to fly with the group, The Happening Travel Club can arrange your air from Johannesburg to Cape Town. It is just $149 and will include transfers from your Johannesburg hotel to airport, non stop flight from Johannesburg to Cape Town and transfers from Cape Town airport to hotel.

Why Umkumbe Safari Lodge Is So Good For Happening Travel Club Members:
Umkumbe features a Prime Riverfront Location. Sitting along the Sand River, the lodge provides passive game viewing right from your verandah or the pool deck. Elephants, buffalo, hippos, and antelopes frequently graze and wander through the dry riverbed in front of the camp.

Sabi Sands Is One Of The World’s Most Sought After Safari Locations:
The safari lodge features unfenced reserve access. Sabi Sand shares open, unfenced borders with Kruger National Park, allowing big game (including frequent leopard sightings) to move freely.”

ABOUT BOTSWANA CHOBE NATIONAL PARK…
… A Unique River & Land Safari

Chobe National Park holds a unique place in the African safari pantheon. This is the 3rd of the great wildlife sites of the world along with Kruger and The Serengeti. Chobe’s reputation is anchored entirely by water and giants. Chobe National Park star is elephants and is the undisputed Elephant Capital of the World. With over 120,000 elephants, you don’t just “spot” them; you drive through vast family blocks of hundreds. It is also a land of giants including Nile Crocodiles (up to 20 feet long), Hippos (up to 9000 pounds), giant Cape Buffalo (up to 2000 pounds) and Giraffes (up to 20 feet tall). Chobe is a superpower of Africa National Parks because of the River Safari.. Most major African parks are strictly land-based, meaning you spend 100% of your time for game drives in a 4×4. Chobe perfectly pairs traditional game drives with boat-based river safaris. Drifting alongside hippos or watching elephants swim across the river at eye-level is a perspective you cannot get anywhere else in Africa. When combined with the shear wonder of Victoria Falls… Chobe National Park safari becomes a memory of a lifetime.

Day 4 // August 23, 2027 // Victoria Falls Sightseeing
Breakfast is included this morning. Today you enjoy comprehensive sightseeing of Victoria Falls. Victoria is a sensory assault in the best way possible. Known locally as Mosi-oa-Tunya (“The Smoke That Thunders”). Your guided tour will feature the highlights of the Zimbabwean side of the falls (80% of water flow). Depending on how water is flowing at the falls during our visit you may experience the Zambia side. You will have an opportunity to walk the paved path that hugs the edge of the gorge. here you see the grandest, most panoramic view. A massive, unbroken sheet of water plummets 305 feet into the abyss. The sheer volume here is so immense that before the water even hits the bottom, rising winds turn it entirely into a heavy mist. What sets Victoria Falls apart from almost any other natural wonder is its unique geological design. The Zambezi River—over a mile wide—suddenly drops off a flat plateau into a razor-thin, deep basalt chasm. Because the opposite cliff sits just 200 feet away, you are looking at the waterfall perfectly at eye level. Victoria Falls is officially classified as the largest single sheet of falling water in the world, based on a combined width of 5,604 feet (a mile) and a height of 354 feet. Of the world’s three giant falls of Niagara, Iguazu and Victoria Falls… many argue Victoria wins for sheer, concentrated drama. It is twice the height of Niagara and creates an uninterrupted “wall of water” of a single fall that is unmatched anywhere else on earth. Other highlights today will be the possibility of taking a sunset cruise on the Zambezi and the world famous “Flight Of The Angels” helicopter flightseeing. Today will be one of the greatest experiences of your life.
Day 5 // August 24, 2027 // Botswana Chobe National Park Water Safari AND Land Safari
Breakfast is included this morning. Today you will go on Safari in an incredibly unique way. A day trip from Victoria Falls to Chobe National Park in Botswana is widely considered the ultimate single-day wildlife experience in the world. Because the park sits just about an hour away (50 miles), you will leave your hotel in Zimbabwe after breakfast, spend the day in the premier big-game country of Botswana, and be back in time for dinner. The full-day Itinerary begins with the Kazungula border crossing. You cross the modern Kazungula Bridge (where Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana, and Namibia meet) and clear immigration into Botswana. Here your Botswana naturalist guide will lead a Water Safari AND a Land Safari. Depending on current animal movements you will either start with the river cruise or the land drive.

The water safari takes place on the massive, glassy Chobe River, which borders Namibia and Botswana. You will board a specialized, flat-bottomed safari boat. They are completely open-sided with a canvas canopy roof for shade, meaning there are zero windows blocking your view. They use quiet, low-emission motors so they can glide silently right up to the reeds. The water perspective is magical. You will cruise within a few feet of massive hippos bobbing in the water, giant Nile crocodiles sunning on the mudbanks, and a stunning array of birdlife like fish eagles and kingfishers. The highlight of Chobe River is the famous elephants. On the cruise, you will watch entire families of elephants swimming across the river, using their trunks as snorkels, and buffaloes grazing on the lush river islands. Seeing an elephant at eye-level from a boat is an entirely different thrill than seeing one from a safari vehicle

CHOBE RIVERFRONT BUFFET LUNCH
You head to a luxury riverfront Chobe Safari Lodge for a high-end, multi-course buffet lunch featuring both international dishes and local wild game

THE LAND SAFARI EXPERIENCE
The Second Half of the Adventure will flip activities. If you did the boat cruise in the morning, you jump into the 4×4 land rover for the afternoon, or vice versa. The Safari Jeep Experience is a land safari that takes you deep into the tracks of Chobe National Park’s dense floodplains and woodlands. You will ride in a heavy-duty 4×4 Land Rover. These vehicles feature tiered, stadium-style seating so that no one’s head blocks your photos. There are no windows or doors—just a rugged metal frame and a canopy top. It gives you 360-degree visibility and lets you hear, smell, and feel the African bush. This experience is very different than South Africa as this is open plain safari where you will see giant herds of animals. Chobe boasts the highest concentration of elephants on earth (over 120,000). On land, you will drive right through massive breeding herds of elephants and Cape buffalo. You are also highly likely to spot lions, leopards, giraffes, zebras, baboons, and various antelopes like impala and the rare puku.

A ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE
This is the only place in the world where you can have TWO SAFARIS IN ONE DAY (Land & Water). This day trip is unique because it perfectly splits the day between a 4×4 rugged bush drive and a tranquil river safari. The two vantage points give you a complete, holistic look at how the African ecosystem functions. Late this afternoon you cross back to Zimbabwe and return to your hotel in time for dinner. TODAY WILL AN ONE OF THE GREATEST EXPERIENCES OF YOUR LIFE.

MADAGASCAR SAFARI POST TOUR
FEATURING ANDASIBE NATIONAL PARK & GIANT LEMURS
September 5 - 11, 2027 (7 Days )

WHY MADAGASCAR IS SO SPECIAL …

This amazing post tour features MAGICAL MADAGASCAR. Madagascar is the ultimate destination. It is a magical fantasy land where evolution ran wild in isolation for millions of years. You will want to stand beneath the towering, ancient giants of the Avenue of the Baobabs at sunset and navigate the sharp limestone labyrinths of Tsingy. Most of all, you will love to witness spectacular wildlife found nowhere else on Earth… including the world famous Lemurs. From the haunting songs of the Indri lemurs to the colorful panther chameleons, everything here is unique. Madagascar is not just an island; it is a living laboratory of pure wonder.

ABOUT MADAGASCAR ANDASIBE NATIONAL PARK…

Andasibe National Park is a crucial ecological sanctuary, serving as the ultimate refuge for the Indri—the world’s largest living lemur. Because the Indri cannot survive in captivity, this protected rainforest is absolutely vital for their survival. Visitors are treated to their haunting, loud morning calls echoing through the misty canopy. Beyond the Indri, Andasibe protects immense biodiversity, including rare orchids, bizarre chameleons, and eleven other lemur species. Easily accessible from the capital, it offers an unparalleled connection to Madagascar’s wonders. It is a vital destination to hear, see, and help protect this truly spectacular, rapidly disappearing, wild world.

Watch This Video To Learn About Why You Want To See Andasibe National Park

THE WORLD’S ONLY GIANT LEMURS IN THE WILD …

 Seeing Madagascar’s lemurs is extraordinary because you are witnessing evolutionary marvels found nowhere else on Earth. Millions of years of geographical isolation allowed over 100 incredibly diverse species to flourish exclusively on this single island. They are seen nowhere else in the wild on Earth because of the isolation of Madagascar. Whenever you look deep into the dense forest canopy, you see a living spectrum of wonder: from the teacup-sized mouse lemur (weighs just 3 ounces) peering through the dark with luminous, saucer-like eyes, to spectacular ring-tailed lemurs leaping through the trees, and the fluffy, white sifakas “dancing” sideways across the ground.Their striking, expressive faces and haunting vocalizations make them the world’s most unique, critically endangered, irreplaceable wild primates. A highlight is the giant Indri lemur that when they stretch is a full 4 feet long and weigh 20 pounds. Seeing the Lemurs at Andasibe National Park is a personal and emotional experience you will remember forever.

HOW TRAVEL PROTECTION WORKS
Trip cancellation insurance is highly recommended and covers medical, cancel for any reason and other policy options available. Insurance covers medical issues, many emergency issues and other related issues both before and during the trip. Your USA Health insurance does not cover you abroad nor do your credit card travel insurance perks provide this protection. When you travel abroad, it is critically important to have peace of mind leading up to your trip and while you are traveling. Travel insurance provides that peace of mind. Consult insurance information for complete details and insurance should be purchased at the time of booking to waive pre-existing condition clauses.

~ Travel (INSURANCE OR WAIVER) plan is included on your invoice at additional cost and you must advise us you do not want travel (INSURANCE OR WAIVER). Remember, (INSURANCE OR WAIVER) is required at the time of booking to WAIVE ANY PRE-EXISTING MEDICAL CONDITION(S) and will provide protection against cancellation penalties, medical expenses and other travel issues while traveling and more. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND travel insurance to protect your travel investment. You can even add CANCEL FOR ANY REASON insurance.

~ Your (INSURANCE POLICY) becomes active with your payment directly to the insurance company. You will see a charge for the insurance and receive the insurance policy by email. If you do not pay the policy or receive confirmation of your payment from the insurance provider directly you are not insured and should contact The Travel Club immediately. You can select your own insurance provider and also provide your own insurance protection.

~ For trips within the United States, guests may purchase a Cancellation Waiver at the time of booking to protect their trip investment.

~ For international trips outside the U.S., guests may purchase Travel Insurance in order to be eligible for any covered refunds or claims.

~ Without a Cancellation Waiver or Travel Insurance, all cancellations are considered final and non-refundable.

~ Trip Cancellation Insurance protects all travel investments with cancellation for covered reasons. You can also purchase cancellation for any reason.
