Lesotho, Eswatini and southern Kruger in 14 days: Sani Pass, Katse, Maletsunyane Falls, Malolotja, Mkhaya and Hlane. Kruger has one full day, plus evening and morning drives when park entry and flight timing allow.
Dates and price will be published after the programme and supplier quote are confirmed. Booking is not currently open.
Starting in Underberg, the route crosses Sani Pass into the Lesotho mountains. After Katse and Semonkong a Harrismith-area transit night divides the long journey to Eswatini. Malolotja retains a full walking day.
Mkhaya uses a day package with two drives and lunch, followed by transfer to Hlane. Southern Kruger completes the journey with one full safari day between arrival and departure. The main finish is in the Mbombela area; Maputo and Mozambique are separate extensions.

A private party can request the fourteen-day Lesotho, Eswatini and Kruger route with an agreed walking pace and accommodation standard. Sani Pass, Katse, Semonkong, Malolotja, Mkhaya, Hlane and Kruger remain the core; changes are checked against borders and actual driving times.
Mkhaya's day package and reserve drives require bookings for the actual group. Private operation does not turn one full Kruger day into two. Maputo and Mozambique are separately quoted extensions rather than part of the base finish near Mbombela.
Lesotho's highlands and the lowland safari areas need different clothing. The mountains are cooler, and early or evening drives call for a warm layer. Southern summer is generally wetter; winter brings drier conditions and colder nights.
April is a transition period, not a promise of dry weather throughout the route. Sani Pass, walks, border operations and park gate times are checked for the actual departure. Dates are not set before local logistics are confirmed; pack layers and rain protection regardless of the broad seasonal description.
The fourteen-day design contains thirteen twin-share nights. The actual hotels, lodges or camps, room types and Hlane/Kruger arrangements are fixed in the quote. The Mkhaya day package is not an additional overnight.
The base costing includes breakfasts and the lunch within the Mkhaya day package. Other lunches and dinners are included only where expressly listed in the confirmed meal schedule. Single accommodation, drinks and additional services are quoted separately.
