Ever heard the guttural sound of a lion’s roar as you lie safely in bed at night? It touches your very soul. It’s one reason you need to come with us to the magnificent Kruger National Park; climb into our open safari vehicles with our registered, experienced field guides, and follow the spoor of the Big Five.
Our Kruger Quickie Safari departs from Johannesburg and is the perfect way to experience the bush; for we rise with the animals, rest when they do in the middle of the day; and venture out again when they begin their hunt for food. Our open vehicles provide the very best photographic vantage points and have no barriers between you and the bush. In that way; you really feel the wildness, and indeed the peace and serenity of being out there, away from the City stresses. Apart from the Big Five, Kruger is home to 147 different mammals, reptiles, and bird species. We begin the search for them from the moment we drive into the Park and with our professional guides; your chances of a memorable sighting are greatly increased.

Accommodation used:
Tremisana Lodge is the largest and leading lodge in the Balule section of Kruger Park. We have a total of 15 chalets plus a two-bedroomed Guest House. Every unit is thatched, is air-conditioned and en suite ( shower, toilet, basin ), and has a tea/coffee station. 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.
The lodge is serviced by two excellent boreholes. Its proximity to the tar road means Tremisana is easily accessible all year round, including the rainy season. The presence of lions, elephants, and buffalo necessitates the maintaining of an electric fence around the camp.
