5 Day Luxury Lodge Safari
We start off this Safari in the greater Kruger National Park giving you the feel of a privately owned lodge surrounded by no fences and then move over to the worlds famous Kruger National Park. First visiting the Panorama Route along the way. The Mpumalanga area is one of great contrast, bordered in the west by the towering escarpment, with lush indigenous forests, crystal-clear streams and plunging waterfalls, and then falling away into the flat Lowveld bushveld, home to one of the richest diversities of fauna and flora in the world
Balule Game Reserve
Balule Game Reserve forms part of the Greater Kruger Park, an open conserved area of approximately 7,000,000 acres or 23,000 km², along the Olifants River. The reserve is only an hour's drive from two of the main gates to the Kruger National Park.
