Lodge-Tent Kruger Safari

Take a mesmerising lodge-tent Kruger safari. This lodge-tent makes use of Ablution Facilities / Shared Bathrooms (clean linen and towels are also provided). The tents are fully equipped with beds, linen, electricity, light and a cooling fan. You cannot choose the tent number you want to stay in, as this is done based on the group booked for your dates. Some units are for example better suited for families, while others are better suited for couples.

The First night of accommodation on this Greater Kruger Safari, is at Tremisana Game Lodge (an affordable good value for money lodge for the budget conscious tourist who likes to socialize), located in Balule Private Game Reserve. The remainder of the nights you will be accommodated at Marc’s Camp, located in Geurnsey Game Reserve.

If you are only staying for two nights, then both nights will be accommodated in the tents. This is a wonderful budget safari and not a luxury package.
