What to expect

Day 1: Transfer from Johannesburg to Tremisana
  1. 4h · Admission ticket included
    Pick up from your hotel in JHB or O.R. Tambo Airport and travel via the Highveld grasslands to Tremisana Game Lodge in the Kruger Park. Board an open Landcruiser for a 4h 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 at the Marula Tree Boma will be a BUSH BBQ. After dinner, continue with your Night Drive and overnight in en-suite, air-conditioned chalets.
Day 2: Game walk and game drive
  1. 7h · Admission ticket included
    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 Tremisana for brunch. Later you may sleep in your airconditioned chalet, swim or read wildlife magazines in our Lapa. Lunch will be served at 13h30. At 15h30 we enjoy a SUNDOWNER Game Drive. Dinner and overnight at Tremisana.
Day 3: Kruger National 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: Moholoholo and Game Drive
  1. Moholoholo Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre
    2h · Admission ticket included
    After breakfast, we drive to Moholoholo Rehabilitation Centre. Here you will learn about the sterling work being done in rehabilitating injured and orphaned animals.

    After coffee and rusks at Sunrise, we go on a 4 h Morning Drive. There will be a drinks break at a suitable spot along the great Olifants River. Return to Tremisana Lodge in time for Brunch. After lunch, there is time to have a siesta and enjoy a relaxing afternoon. At around 17h00, go on another Sunset Drive and Bush BBQ at the famed Marula Boma.
