Day 1
Johannesburg to Kruger National Park
Your adventure kicks off with a seamless pickup from your Johannesburg hotel or O.R. Tambo Airport, whisking you through the scenic Highveld grasslands to Tremisana Game Lodge, nestled in the Balule Private Nature Reserve within the Greater Kruger National Park. As the golden hour approaches, you'll climb aboard an open Land Cruiser for a 4-hour Sunset Drive, where Africa’s iconic wildlife — think majestic elephants, stealthy leopards, and vibrant birdlife— comes alive against a fiery sunset. As night falls, a spotlight reveals elusive nocturnal creatures. The evening crescents with a magical BUSH BBQ at the Marula Tree Boma, an unfenced oasis in the Kruger where hyenas prowl nearby. Savor a traditional South African braai under a canopy of stars, an experience that will thrill your senses. Settle into your cozy, air-conditioned chalet at Tremisana, where rustic charm meets comfort for a restful night.

As you tread along one of Kruger’s vital rivers, scan the horizon for the Big Five (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, buffalo) and marvel at antelope, predators, and colorful birds.

5.0/5Awesome!
Our first Big 5 Safari Tour was nothing short of incredible! From the very start, the excitement was unreal and it only got better with every moment out in the wild. Seeing lions, elephants, rhinos, buffalo in their natural habitat was absolutely breathtaking. Our guide Martin was knowledgeable, passionate and made the whole experience even more special. It’s something we’ll never forget, truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure! But we will repeat it as we still have to „hunt“ leopard 🐆 hehe

Always a quick response, if there were any questions.
We had a very good time at the Dumela Tented Camp. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The guides on the game drives were really good. We had luck and could see many different animals.
