“This was an amazing experience. The drivers and staff were wonderful to meet and had great energy during our experience. They care about the animals and the park and are knowledgeable to answer any questions you may have. The option to tent camp was very cool. It was a more stable tent so it wasn’t super scary. The safari itself was great. We saw so many animals!”
Route 62 farm roads, Cango Caves, Wilderness kayaking, and a Botlierskop 4x4 safari. 3 days packed, small-group feel.
“This tour package is excellent for anyone on a time budget but wants to see the best South Africa has to offer. My tour guide TK was very pleasant and professional. We were a small group of 8 people and the itinerary was very well organised giving adequate time at each attraction so the tour didn't seem too rushed. In addition, the tour offers a great menu and good rest breaks to divide the journey. I enjoyed the tour from start to finish and would certainly recommend it to any like-minded holiday makers.”

The accommodation during the trip was excellent. The safari allowed us to see animals at close range. Dylan was very friendly, cheerful, organized and informative. Always smiling and helpful.

“L’esperienza al Trevisana lodge è stata più affascinante del previsto e la consiglio a chi vuole conoscere gli animali e ama la natura. Al Trevisana lodge abbiamo trovato stanze con bagno privato; il tutto molto pulito ed essenziale. C’era anche l’aria condizionata in camera e il necessario per l’igiene personale. Ci hanno accolto con professionalità ed entusiasmo le guide Terrence e Dylan . Al Trevisana abbiamo conosciuto anche le altre guide Andy e Smiley che ci hanno accompagnato alla scoperta degli abitanti del parco Kruger .

Budget-friendly 3-day Kruger glamping safari with open-vehicle Big Five drives, Orpen-Satara lion odds, and stargazing at Sekekama Camp.
“Najbardziej podobał mi się camping i samo safari. Można poprawić organizacje jeśli chodzi o transport w pierwszą stronę - kierowca mówił bardzo szybko i niezrozumiale po angielsku, trzeba było się przesiadać do innego busa pod koniec i rozwiesiliśmy dużo osób zanim dotrwaliśmy do naszego canpingu, było to męczące”
3-day Kruger safari from Johannesburg: Balule sunset drive, Orpen open gameviewer, sunrise bushwalk, Panorama Route stops, treehouse stay.
“THERE WAS NO TREEHOUSE!!! I choose this because of the treehouse and there was NO treehouse stay. This is very misleading--my cabin in no way resembled a treehouse. It was on the ground like all of the others. Shame on you, this is FALSE ADVERTISING.”
