Drive through Kruger's vast land while spotting the big five, have a thrilling night adventure in Balule seeking for nocturnal animals, and what better way to know the wild than by walking through the plains itself.

During this safari, you will be staying at Tremisana Game Lodge and Marc's Treehouse Lodge.

Insect-proof screens are fitted on all windows. Each bed has its own mosquito net.
There is a splash pool, open-air boma for dinners around a crackling fire and a covered lapa overlooking a waterhole. A very beautiful luxuriant garden boasts numerous bougainvilleas, palms, and cycads which give the camp a subtropical tone. Water features add a soothing effect and the overall feel of Tremisana Lodge is very relaxing. At night, the subdued light along the illuminated paved walkways lend a romantic and magical feel to this outstanding camp.
For nights two and three, you will be staying in tents at Marc's Treehouse Lodge. With seven tents, the lodge offers rustic but comfortable accommodation geared to put one in close contact with the sights, sounds, and scents of the wild. Amenities include electric fans, mosquito nets, comfortable beds, linen, towels, and soap. It has a swimming pool, a bush bar, and a boma where meals are served. You can relax around the crackling campfire and share your impressions of the day’s wildlife trip.
At the lodge, you can inhale the fresh, balmy air of African bush veld. Fall asleep to the gurgling of the river, interrupted by the eerie whoops of hyena, spine-chilling wails of jackals, and the plaintive cry of the thick-tailed bushbaby. Awaken to the melodious chorus of birdsong and watch the activity of wildlife drinking at the river or at the spotlit waterhole.
Please note that the 7 tents are not ensuite and share 3 toilets and 3 baths
