Itinerary
Here at Tailor Made Safaris, we will happily adjust the itinerary below should you wish to see any changes. Of course it is possible to add some days or take some out. ​Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about this tour.
day 1 - Upington Airport - Augrabies falls national park
Tailor Made Safaris Krantzkloof Nature Reserve
Today you will fly into Upington and drive to Augrabies Falls National Park. One of the best sights in the Northern Cape. This waterfall, at 56 meters high, produces a huge thundering noise as the water cascades over and crashes onto the rocks beneath. Augrabies Falls is appropriated named from the Bushman word 'Aukoerebis', meaning ‘place of the loud noise’. You will stay in the park, in a chalet within walking distance from the falls
day 2 - Augrabies falls national park

The falls are not the only highlight of this park. The park will thrill you further with beautiful views of the gorge that the Orange River has carved over time and also contains a huge number of animals. Today you can choose from a variety of activities in the park. You can walk one of the hiking trails or explore the park further by car. Or maybe you would like to book guided night drive; did you know leopard are often seen on night safari’s here?​
day 3 - Augrabies falls national park - kgalagadi transfrontier park
Tailor Made Safaris Drakensberg Cathedral Peak
Tailor Made Safaris Drakensberg Mountains Cathedral Peak
Now we’re talking safari time! Today you will drive to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. The habitat of leopard, cheetah, giraffe, hyena, bat-eared fox and so many more. But what the park is most famous for is the Kalahari lion. Here there are 400 to 500 of these magnificent creatures. The male lions are incredible and a sight that you will never forget.  Compared to other lions in Africa they look much bigger because of their incredible black manes that protect them from overheating.  This afternoon you can relax at the lodge which is located just outside the park, or drive into the park for your first self-drive safari.
day 4 - KgaLAGADI TRansfrontier Park
Tailor Made Safaris Drakensberg Royal Natal National Park
Your second day in the Kgalagadi starts at daybreak. You can try to find the animals that you haven’t seen yet and explore the park further. Maybe you would like to explore the park at night on a night drive? It will definitely give you many memorable moments with the nocturnal residents of the park, such as the leopard, hyena, bat-eared foxes, porcupines, genets and bush babies. 
day 5 - KGalagADI Transfrontier park
Tailor Made Safaris Drakensberg Tugela Gorge Royal Natal National Park
Your last day in the park, so try to get as much out of it as possible. You will explore places that you haven’t been to yet and we hope that you will see all of the animals that you haven’t seen before, especially the magnificent lions. The Kgalagadi is also renowned for its plentiful raptor sightings, look out for Chanting goshawks, various species of eagles and secretary birds.
day 6 - Kgalagadi Transfrontier park - Upington airport
Tailor Made Safaris Royal Natal National Park Amphitheater
After 5 days of wonderful experiences and adventures you will leave South Africa's spectacular Northern Cape via Upington Airport.
