3-day Kruger safari from Johannesburg with two nights in Hazyview, sunrise and sunset game drives, Big Five chances, and river wildlife views.

“Very well organized and accommodating. We had a few special requests for pickup and drop off and were very well accommodating. Muzi was an amazing guide. He shared a lot of knowledge about all the birds and animals we saw. Additionally, he was also very patient when we saw something that I wanted to click pictures of. Gave me enough time to do my thing. The Safari experience was great overall. Tembo lodge was also a great place to stay at. Clean and comfortable, nothing too fancy, but exactly as described. I was also glad that we did a 3 day safari because it gave us a chance to see…”

2-day Big Five Kruger safari from Johannesburg with small-group open-vehicle drives, Tembo Lodge stay, meals, and transfers.

“Very well organised. Nick was great - very knowledgeable, gave really good overview of history, culture, nature as we show to Kruger. It is a long ride from Johannesburg and Nick made the time fly by. I would really recommend him as a guide. Given was my safari guide and also was great. He seemed more upset about not seeing lions than me :D but it’s nature so you can’t expect animals to come and parade on demand. He really tried though to find them and also gave amazing explanation about flora and fauna. My only feedback is to the main office - please confirm with your guests a day…”
