Take a helicopter tour over NYATI's own land and experience the South African bush from above. The tour will take you past the safari lodge and up Olifants River offering stunning views of the bush. You might even spot the wildlife from above, e.g. elephants, giraffes, zebras, rhinos etc. The flight will last approximately 20 minutes. You will be flying with a certified pilot and security is paramount. 

Mionimum requerement are 2 guests, maximum 3 guests at a time and subject to 48 hours cancellation policy.

Explore the area around Nyati by taking a bush walk early in the morning. The animals are especially active in the mornings and this easy stroll runs along the Olifants River, where you can often spot hippos and crocodiles.  You also have the option of experiencing the bush from a bird's eye view in a micro light aircraft or helicopter (to be paid for separately). Back at the lodge you will find a tempting breakfast buffet on the terrace set out for you. After having had a few hours to relax, it is time for “the Big 5” safari. “Big 5” is a traditional hunters' way of describing lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos and buffaloes. We begin with an exciting drive through the bush along the Olifants River in open Jeeps.

Local rangers will meet us at the entrance to Thsukudu, a nearby private wildlife reserve especially known for its work breeding rhinos. Here there will be ample opportunity to spot “the Big 5”. We go on a safari drive, known in South Africa as a game-drive, and before heading back we will stop for refreshments and watch the beautiful sunset. Back at the lodge a traditional African Braai will be served in Nyati's open barbecue facility - the Boma.

Go on a safari in the public area of Kruger National Park. With its wide variety of animals and nature, the more than 100 year old park is one of the world's best safari parks and is simply one of the very best places to see the wildlife in their natural environment. The park is 350 km long and approx. 65 km wide. The roads through the national park are good and many animals have gradually got used to the four-wheeled creatures, so you can get close to them. There are no less than 147 animal species, 507 birds, 34 amphibians, 116 reptiles, 1980 plant and tree species and really good chances to experience "The Big 5", lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo.

Departure is early morning and you eat the breakfast that has been brought with you outdoors, as you witness the splendid sunrise. You also enjoy an Out of Africa-style lunch served in the great outdoors in one of the rest camps.

On Tuesdays or Thursdays you typically visit the famous Kruger National Park on a full day trip. Kruger National Park is one of the largest game reserves in Africa, covering an area of 19,633 sq. kilometers (7,580 sq mi) and offers the highest concentration of wildlife in the world and of course “The Big 5”. Nyati Safari Lodge is one of the few lodges with license for driving our own custom-built open safari vehicles in the park. Driving in open vehicles gives your safari experience an extra dimension, as scents and sounds are much more perceptible. We will have breakfast outdoors while watching the splendid sunrise. Remember to have your camera ready, as there will be many sights which you will want to bring home with you. Kruger National Park offers world-class nature and wildlife experiences. In the Mopane bush, in the north, there are lots of elephants, buffalos, impalas, kudus and plenty of other antelopes. On the central savannah there are many gnus, zebras, cheetahs and lions while in the Bush Willow towards the south, with its dense grass forest, there are lots of giraffes, lions, white rhinos, hyenas and antelopes. Just as on the Sunday excursion there is ample opportunity to spot the “The Big 5”. 

We enjoy a delicious "Out of Africa"-style lunch served in the great outdoors at one of the Park's rest camps. You will arrive back at the lodge in time for your culinary three-course dinner in the beautiful main restaurant overlooking the Olifants River and the african bush.

Relax by the pool or enjoy an early morning safari bushwalk in our private game reserve. The animals are tracked by studying footprints, droppings, snapped branches and other signs visible in nature. The area offers a spectacular array of wildlife including for example many species of antelope, zebras, warthogs, zebras, giraffes, gnus, rhinos and buffaloes. After the bushwalk, a lovely breakfast buffet will be served on the terrace and there will be some time to relax. Participate in one of the thrilling optional activities (to be paid for separately), guests who play golf may for example choose to have a round on the popular Hans Merensky 18-hole course on this day. At the end of the afternoon we continue our program with a Sundowner game-drive in the Nyati grounds. In the evening a culinary three-course menu will be served in the beautiful main restaurant overlooking the Olifant River.

Last chance to perfect you golfing with Ronnie Nkuna during your hourly golf clinic before setting out for a round of 9 holes. In the afternoon we invite you for a "Big 5" sundowner safari to our new viewpoint, where you will enjoy a spectacular "sundowner" with drinks under open sky with extraordinary views of the South African bush. We finish the tour with a night safari game drive back to the lodge, where you get to experience the South African wildlife under the starry sky. Friday night is celebrated with a farewell "braai" in the open-air boma, where the chef will be a little extra inventive with the delicious local produce.

Saturday is your day of departure. After breakfast you can choose to be driven to the local airport where flights connect to Johannesburg, or you can organize your own departure.
