“The ultimate 4-day Kruger experience — Tremisana Game Lodge, open-vehicle game drives in Kruger National Park, bush walks, night safari, and African sunset dinners.
About This Experience
Immerse yourself in the untamed wilderness of the Greater Kruger on this luxury 4-day safari departing from Johannesburg. Based at the acclaimed Tremisana Game Lodge on the banks of the Olifants River, you'll enjoy twice-daily game drives — both inside Kruger National Park and across the private Balule Nature Reserve. With unfenced boundaries allowing wildlife to roam freely, your Big 5 sightings happen in their most natural, unscripted moments. A guided bush walk with armed rangers brings you face-to-face with the African bush at ground level — hearing every birdcall, tracking spoor, and understanding the ecosystem intimately. The highlight? A thrilling night safari where spotlights reveal nocturnal predators, bushbabies, and the elusive African wildcat. Evenings unfold around roaring campfires with gourmet bush dinners under the Southern Cross.
