Is this trip right for you?
This itinerary starts and finishes in Johannesburg and includes 2 long travel days.
On Short Breaks, you maintain a good level of independence and freedom, with the added bonus of having the details sorted out for you. You’ll have lots of free time and you won’t be accompanied by a Trip Leader. This means that all included activities and tours will be run by different local Tuuur partners, and these may operate independently from each other. The included activities and transfers will operate on a join-in basis, which means that you could have your Adventure all to yourself, or others may join you along the way. If you would prefer to travel in a group with a dedicated Trip Leader, just get in touch with your booking agent and they will take you through some alternatives.
The transport to and from Kruger National Park will be in a 13-seater minivan. This is a shuttle service that departs daily. You may be sharing this shuttle ride with other travellers booked on different trips and itineraries to you.
Our lodge is located within the Greater Kruger Park ecosystem. It’s about a 50 minute drive to Kruger National Park’s Orpen Gate. On this itinerary you will have Game Drives in both the Kruger National Park and neighbouring Private Game Reserves.
As the early bird catches the worm, the early camper sights the animals. There will be many early starts either to make use of the better safari time or to beat the morning traffic on long travel days.
Regardless of where you stay, power cuts and breaks in hot water are sometimes unavoidable, as in any developing country. In particular, South Africa suffers from load-shedding: rolling blackouts that are engineered specifically to share out available power in the region.

5 day Kruger Experience was amazing - Panzi Lodge was really nice and the host and staff look after you very well (food is delicious). The game drives within Kruger National Park, the private reserve drive and the Panorama Route provided many WOW wildlife and scenery moments. Highly recommend this trip.

The stay at the lodge was fantastic and the entire experience was magical. We’ll never forget having breakfast on the terrace with monkeys playing in the trees next to us, or elephants walking up to us when we were having an evening drink on a game drive. All staff and guides were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.
