5.Kruger National Park: 3-Day Safari Tour and Treehouse Stay

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 23 reviews · 3 days · from $890

Travel from Johannesburg to Balule and Kruger National Park in a small group of up to nine. You’ll take a sunset and night drive, spend a full day in an open Gameviewer, walk at sunrise with an armed ranger, and visit Three Rondawels and Blyde River Canyon. Ed and Quentin manage the lodge, while guides lead the wildlife drives.

“We thoroughly enjoyed the overall experience, particularly the exceptional food, the exciting safari, and the wonderful accommodation, which truly enhanced the trip. However, a small improvement could be made in terms of the lighting between the lodges. It was a bit unsettling and challenging to walk at night due to inadequate lighting, impacting the overall ease and comfort of the stay.”
