You are picked up from your accommodation or the airport in Johannesburg between 07-09:00. If you are not arriving in the early morning, pre-night accommodation is required. Kruger Park is 570 km from Johannesburg, which is around 7-8 hours travel time including breaks en-route. Once we arrive at Tremisana Lodge in the Big Five Balule Game Reserve, we board an open Landcruiser for a sunset drive in this Big Five Game Reserve. After dark, spotlights are used to locate nocturnal animals. In our Marula Tree Boma deep in the African bush we serve you an unforgettable bush braai. Accommodation in comfortable air-conditioned en-suite thatch-roofed chalets. (D)

Start an exhilarating day of unforgettable bush life by awakening at beautiful sunrise. We drive you to a remote part of the Balule Game Reserve, where you enjoy a 4-hour bush walk accompanied by an experienced field guide leading you through the bush. You get the chance to take amazing photos of Africa’s large animals that will remind you of this mindblowing experience forever. Even though the ranger leading you is adequately armed, there won’t be a lack of adrenaline rushes. We offer you brunch at Tremisana Lodge and high tea at 14:00. At around 15:00 we go on an afternoon game drive before you transfer to Marc’s Camp. Your accommodation for the night is in one of the fascinating and romantic treehouses. (B, D)

After breakfast you spend the day travelling through the Orpen Gate of Kruger. The Orpen Gate of Kruger provides the highest percentage population of giraffe, zebra wildebeest and impala, which then again attracts numerous lions and other predators. Due to the added elevation and because it has no windows, the open-sided game viewer allows for excellent viewing and photographic opportunities. A qualified guide is with you to show you the various animals that frequent this outstanding wildlife environment. Dinner and treehouse accommodation at Marc’s Camp. (B, D)

Enjoy an early morning bush walk accompanied by an armed ranger, who will show you various interesting details of the bush as insects, spoor and scats. You get the chance to encounter buffalo, nyala and other game on foot. We serve breakfast before you transfer to the Three Rondawels of the Blyde River Canyon before we drop you off at your accommodation or airport in Johannesburg at around 17:00. (B)
