Four days from Johannesburg to Balule and Kruger with sunset drives, a bush walk, starry braai, Blyde Canyon, and small-group safari value.

“4 jours intenses à la recherche des BIGFIVE. Pick-up on time à Johannesburg.. arrêts prévus pour les pauses. Dès votre arrivée au lodge, l'accueil est chaleureux, on vous laisse 30 min pour découvrir votre logement et puis c'est le moment pour partir à la recherche d'animaux dans la savane. Le véhicule est ouvert. Le soir même, vous vivrez un braai fantastique et avec un peu de chance, vous entendrez les animaux mieux les voir (hyènes et éléphant pour notre part). En fin de repas, retour au logement pour la nuit. Le petit-déjeuner est simple mais suffisant, idem pour les repas, le choix est unique. Sachez qu'il n'y a pas de…”

Four days of Kruger wildlife, a sunset safari, Blyde Canyon cruise, bush walk, and rustic camp life from $946 per person.

“Bellissima esperienza! Tour organizzato molto bene e flessibile in base alle esigenze. Il top del tour è la giornata di safari al Kruger. Il camp è bello, il lodge era abbastanza spartano ma assolutamente in linea con la mia scelta. I pasti erano compresi quasi tutti (qualche pranzo no), le colazioni e le cene erano tutte organizzate nella casa di Loyd la nostra guida; le colazioni semplici ma abbondanti e buone (le migliori uova strapazzate mai mangiate), le cene altrettanto buone con grigliate ad ogni sera, ma il meglio era la convivialità che si veniva a creare tra la gente unitamente alle visite costanti di animali durante la cena (da…”

Review of a four-day Kruger and Blyde Canyon safari, with Big Five game drives, scenic viewpoints, practical timing, and value advice.

“Les excursions étaient très bien organisées, particulièrement celles au park Kruger où nous sommes les seuls parmi tous les tours à avoir été équipés contre le froid (le départ dans la nuit est critique a cette période de l'année). le lodge est très confortable et nous avons pu utiliser un service de chauffeur sur place pour dîner et faire qq courses en ville. 2 petits hics : le pick up au départ de Johannesburg avait 3h de retard sans moyen de communication (nous avons eu très peur de louper notre tour) et j'avais réservé le tour avec un guide francophone que nous n'avons pas eu sur les 4 jours. ça…”
