The Kruger Quickie safari is designed for those who are budget conscious and only have a few days to explore what the Kruger National Park has to offer.
This Kruger safari package is the quickest and most affordable way to see South Africa‘s greatest game reserve; low on your budget, while high on safari adventures and options!
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.

We collect our clients from all hotels, guesthouses, private homes, or from the airport in Johannesburg.

You may rest in your airconditioned chalet, have a quick refreshing dip in the pool, or unwind at the bar. Or just relax in the beautiful gardens.
At around 5 pm we board the open Landcruiser for an exciting Big Five Sunset Drive. Your qualified guide will facilitate your first thrilling opportunity to experience the varied African fauna and flora. Watch the magnificent African sunset, then after darkness falls, we use powerful spotlights to locate nocturnal animals.
Dinner will be a Bush Braai /Barbeque at the Marula Tree Boma deep in the bush. Overnight in a comfortable, air-conditioned en suite thatch-roofed chalets.

Drive to the Orpen Gate of Kruger Park. Your custom-built open-sided vehicle allows for a total wildlife experience; you will not only have time to view wildlife; but also to listen to and smell the African bush and its inhabitants. The absence of windows and the elevated position allow for excellent photographic opportunities. The Orpen/Satara region has the greatest concentration of animals in the whole of Kruger Park. Sightings of the Big Five are guaranteed. You will have a great day of game viewing and bird watching in this truly outstanding wildlife paradise.

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 airconditioned 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, an 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 lends 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 electric fence around the camp.
