6 Day Tremisana & Radisson Deluxe Safari in Kruger National Park

Start your adventure with a pickup from your hotel in Johannesburg or O.R. Tambo Airport. Journey through the Highveld grasslands to Tremisana Game Lodge in the Balule Private Nature Reserve, part of the Greater Kruger National Park. Upon arrival, set off on a 4-hour Sunset Drive in an open Landcruiser, spotting Africa’s iconic wildlife and vibrant plant life against a stunning sunset. After dark, use a spotlight to observe nocturnal animals. Delight in a truly unique BUSH BBQ dinner at the Marula Tree Boma, set in the heart of the Kruger without any fences. As hyenas surround you, savor a traditional South African braai under the stars, creating an unforgettable dining experience. Rest overnight in en suite, airconditioned chalets at Tremisana Game Lodge, offering basic yet comfortable accommodations with a rustic bushveld charm.

Rise early for a tasty breakfast before heading to a remote corner of Balule Game Reserve for a 4-hour guided bush walk along the Olifants River with armed rangers. This unique experience allows you to spot all the fascinating details you might miss on a vehicle game drive, including a rich variety of fauna and flora, from intricate plant life to elusive creatures. Walking along one of the major rivers flowing through the park, you’ll explore the sights and sounds of the bushveld, keeping a keen eye out for the Big Five (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, buffalo) and a variety of antelope, predators, and colorful birds. Return to Tremisana Game Lodge for a late breakfast and included lunch, then unwind around the lodge until your afternoon safari game drive, followed by dinner.

Wake up early for a delicious breakfast and depart for a full day safari tour in Kruger National Park. Enter via Orpen Gate and spend the day exploring the upper-south and central regions, searching for the Big Five and other wildlife. Enjoy a lunch break at a popular rest camp before continuing your adventure, with the tour extending into the late afternoon, allowing guests to witness a partial sunset while still within Kruger. Return to Tremisana Game Lodge for dinner.

After an early breakfast, check out of Tremisana Game Lodge and be collected at 8:00 AM for a full-day Panorama Route tour departing from Hoedspruit. Marvel at the immense Blyde River Canyon and its iconic Three Rondavels, followed by panoramic views at God’s Window, stretching to Mozambique and Kruger National Park on clear days. Enjoy a leisurely lunch in Graskop, then visit The Pinnacle, a striking quartzite column, and hike to Berlin and Lisbon Falls. Return to Hoedspruit with drop-off at Radisson Hoedspruit between 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM for check-in. Spend the evening relaxing at Radisson, unwinding with a gourmet dinner in the elegant onsite restaurant.

Venture into the Orpen Satara area of Kruger National Park, renowned for one of the highest lion concentrations in Africa, to witness the beautiful sunrise and search for the Big Five (lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, buffalos) along with zebras, giraffes, and antelopes. Stop for breakfast at 7:30 AM at a rest camp, admiring the park’s stunning landscape.
