6 Day Kruger and Balule Experience
Day 1
Johannesburg ā Greater Kruger National Park
Pick up from your hotel in Gauteng or Johannesburg Airport and travel via the Highveld grasslands to our main lodge in the Kruger Park. Board an open Landcruiser for a 3h Sunset Drive, your first opportunity to experience the fauna and flora of Africa. Watch the magnificent African sunset and, after dark, use a spotlight to view nocturnal animals. Dinner in the Marula Tree Boma will be a Bush Braai. After dinner, continue with your Night Drive and overnight in en suite air conditioned chalets.
Day 2
Greater Kruger National Park
At sunrise we drive to the Olifants River for a 4h Bush Walk. Your rangers will show you many secrets of the bush. Adrenalin surges will be acute even if your rangers are adequately armed. Return to your lodge for brunch. Later you may sleep in your air-conditioned chalet, swim or read wildlife magazines in our Lapa. A light lunch will be served and at around 15h30 we enjoy a 4 h drive on Balule. We stop for sundowners and toast the splendour of Africa. Dinner and overnight at our main lodge.
Day 3
Greater Kruger National Park ā Kruger Park
Drive to Kruger Park in your custom-built open-sided Gameviewer. You will view game without intervening glass windows and also listen to and smell the denizens of the bush. The Orpen-Satara-Nwanedzi region has open plains that attract large herds of zebra, giraffe and antelope that, in turn, attract many predators. In fact, this zone has the highest concentration of lions in Africa.
Day 4
Greater Kruger National Park
After breakfast, we drive to Moholoholo Rehabilitation Centre. Here you will learn about the sterling work being done in rehabilitating injured and orphaned animals. You will get close and personal to some of the residents, including lions and leopards. Your understanding of Wildlife Conservation will be greatly improved. Return to your lodge for a light lunch. At around 15h00 we drive to Tshukudu Game Lodge where we have High Tea. Enjoy a 3 h game drive in this enclosed Big 5 reserve where our chances of seeing the Big 5 are very good. Return to your lodge for dinner and overnight.
Day 5

Enjoy another exciting day on the open vehicle watching game in Kruger Park. Your ranger will attempt to show you any animal you have not yet seen.
