A safari with a different place to sleep

Leave Johannesburg behind for three days of wildlife, woodland surroundings and rustic treehouse charm. This small-group Kruger safari combines one night at Tremisana Game Lodge with one night at Marc’s Treehouse Lodge in Motlala Game Reserve. It is a bush escape for travellers who value character and time outdoors over polished hotel luxury.

Two reserves, one full day in Kruger

A sunset game drive introduces you to the Greater Kruger landscape, before a full day in Kruger National Park in an open safari vehicle. Your guide searches for wildlife while explaining the habitats and behaviour of the animals you encounter. A short guided bush walk adds a closer look at tracks, plants and the smaller details often missed from a vehicle. Sightings are never guaranteed.

Rustic treehouse accommodation

Your first night is at Tremisana Game Lodge; your second is in a treehouse at Marc’s Treehouse Lodge. The treehouse setting offers a simple, nature-focused stay rather than a luxury suite. Accommodation is subject to availability and will be confirmed before booking.

Return via the Panorama Route

The journey back to Johannesburg travels via the Panorama Route, with a Three Rondavels stop when timing, access and conditions permit.

Price and practical details

US$1,140 per person sharing; US$1,596 for a solo traveller. All Kruger entrance and conservation fees are included. This is a shared group safari, with 2–12 guests per vehicle; private arrangements can be requested at an additional cost. Johannesburg hotel or address collection is arranged between 06:30 and 09:30, depending on location. Confirm your meeting point and collection time before travel.

Return drop-off is expected from approximately 17:00, subject to traffic. For onward flights from OR Tambo, allow a departure no earlier than 19:30 for domestic flights or 21:00 for international flights.
