About the trip
This nine-night escorted tour with Travelsphere takes in South Africa’s Greater Mabula Game Reserve, set within the Waterberg Biosphere Reserve. After arriving in Johannesburg, the group transfers to a luxury lodge where daily game drives in a Land Cruiser seek the Big Five—lions, leopards, elephants, buffalos, and rhinos—alongside a variety of other wildlife such as cheetahs, hippos, and brown hyenas. The reserve’s scenery shifts with the seasons, from green grasslands after summer rains to drier tones come autumn.
