  • Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included in your trip price. As the property is self-catering we will eat in for many of our meals but our aim is always to eat locally, when we dine out, and to make sure there are vegetarian options available.

  • The Ignite Team will be driving two SUVs in caravan and having lived in the UK are confident drivers on both sides of the road. This is so that group participants can roll down their windows on self-drive safaris for the best view of the wildlife. You will not be driving in South Africa - even “self-drive” safaris are chauffeured by the Ignite Team.

  • Marloth Park is an incredibly special place with beautiful holiday homes (and private residences) that back onto Kruger National Park. There are often wildebeest, zebra, giraffe, warthogs and more in the backyards of Marloth Park and included in your trip are game pellets for the wildlife. Due to the ecology of the area this is a necessary supplement to their diets. There are also predators (big cats) that live in Marloth Park and you will receive a safety briefing upon arrival.
